By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Jameel McCline says he sees unbeaten heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s) as a future great after spending time with him working as sparring partners in the camp of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko recently before his fight with Martiusz Wach.
McCline said on his twitter page “Bronzebomber [Deontay Wilder] is the next great thing. Seen him give the champ W Klitschko great work. I told him take your time. He will listen.”
McCline knows talent when he sees it, as he’s been in boxing for a long time and he’s seen a lot of different heavyweights over the years. He’s not jump complimenting Wilder for the heck of it. He speaks the truth because he knows what kind of talent Wilder has after watching him work out with Wladimir.
