haha exactly

I get that Wilder aint the most popular guy on here. I'm not exactly a bombsquad member myself. But this narrative of Wilder being an automatic win for anyone with a pulse is getting ridiculous now.

The man has a 94% KO rate. This idea that Wilder can only beat top guys by transforming into a Heavyweight Mayweather and masterfully outboxing his opponents is, was and will always be a fxcking lie.

All he has to do is successfully disguise/set up his right hand. Its that lethal. He has 12 whole rounds to figure out a way to let that cannon connect ONCE. Yall have any idea how insanely dangerous that is? If you dont stop the fight early, its quite literally a matter of time before you get dropped. No one is safe, you could get bodybagged any second. Writing off that type of power in any fight is the dumbest thing you could possibly do.
Yeah, I'm cold on him after a year of excuses but hope he comes back in champion fashion. He has glaring weaknesses in terms of his boxing pedigree, but it's foolish to think he's food all of a sudden. Only way that happens is if his mental is truly gone and out of whack. But for someone that doesn't work the jab and fundamentals like he could, Wilder not only has God-given power we haven't seen but he's also shown a masterful capability of actually finding and landing the right hand when he needs to, despite other limitations in his game.

AJ always boxes like he never prepared for the fight.
Does he spar in training camp? Serious question because it's like he's not used to being hit
I remember before the first Ruiz fight there were rumblings that he got knocked out in sparring leading up to the fight and that he was in his head about it. Then he came out and looked the way he did. There's something strange happening in his mind or in his camp that I don't think we have the full story of. Definitely no shame in getting outclassed by someone like Usyk, but there's something there.

When Povetkin rocked him, I was concerned. It was odd. But he survived and won anyway.

He looks like all he does is lift weights in training camp. :pachaha:

When he steps in the ring it looks like he didn't spar one round.

He's all hesitant and unsure. Doesn't really assert himself or have a clear game plan. If the opponent is having success, he's confused and overwhelmed with what's happening.

It's like his trainer isn't giving him the right preparation at all. Might be time to move his training camps to the US.
