(Photo credit: Courtesy of Deontay Wilder twitter) By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Frank Warren said in his column at the Sun that he sees both David Haye and Dereck Chisora as being above the likes of Seth Mitchell and Deontay Wilder in terms of ability.
Warren said to thesun.co.uk “In terms of experience and ability, both are light years ahead of leading US charlatans like Seth Mitchell (25-0, 19 KO’s) and Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s), who would both struggle to win a British title right now.”
I don’t agree at all. Not only do I see both Wilder and Mitchell capable of winning the British heavyweight title strap against the tender chinned David Price, but I see those guys as taking the EBU heavyweight title from Kubrat Pulev and the WBA World heavyweight title from Alexander Povetkin.
Wilder and Mitchell have huge power and they’re actual heavyweights and not a pumped up cruiserweigtht like David Haye. And Chisora would be a sitting duck for both Wilder and Mitchell due to Chisora’s nonexistent defense. All it would take is one big shot from Wilder and he’d have Chisora stumbling around ready to be poleaxed with a second right hand. If Haye was able to easily defeat Chisora, can you imagine what Wilder would do to him? I see both Haye and Chisora as imposters.
They’re among the best in the UK, but they don’t match up with talents like Mitchell and Wilder. Those guys are heavier than Haye and a lot more solid than the flabby looking Chisora. We already saw Chisora get schooled by Tyson Fury, who in turn would be lucky if he saw the 2nd round against a talent like Wilder. Mitchell would take Chisora, Haye and Fury as well by walking through their shots and blasting them apart with his big power shots.
It’s really limiting seeing Wilder and Mitchell being compared to local domestic fighters like Haye and Chisora, when these guys are capable of winning world honors once the Klitschko brothers give them a shot at their titles or move and retire from the sport. Either way, it’s their destiny to win titles on the world stage and hold down those belts for a long time.
I just wish Haye and Chisora would agree to fight Wilder and Mitchell because I’d love to see both of those talented Americans put them in their place.
