McCline: Deontay Wilder is the next great; saw him give Wladimir hard work

Image: McCline: Deontay Wilder is the next great; saw him give Wladimir hard workBy 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.

Image: TEAM UK vs TEAM USA; Wilder, Broner, FrochBy Madern: Readers on this website are split between the nations of Great Britain and the U S of A (apologies to anyone else!) with a sense of animosity and a biased view. I am a representative of one of these great boxing countries but I will say no more.

This piece I have created is meant to be an unbiased view of who I would predict would be the winner between these  potential bouts.

Deontay Wilder now the #1 heavyweight in the U.S

Image: Deontay Wilder now the #1 heavyweight in the U.SBy Scott Gilfoid: With the 2nd round knockout loss of previously undefeated Seth Mitchell last Saturday night at the hands of Johnathon Banks, it leaves undefeated Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s) as the top #1 heavyweight in the United States. I never saw Mitchell as a better heavyweight than Wilder, but now that we’ve seen him get exposed by Banks it’s now academic that Wilder is the top guy.

This really isn’t news to some of the top boxing experts in the sport because legendary trainer Emanuel Steward recently said that he saw Wilder as already the top heavyweight in American in an interview with RingTV, saying “As far as the American fighters, he’s No.1 to me among the American heavyweights. I think that he could step up and challenge in one year.”

Heavyweight Boxing: Will it ever rise again?

Image: Heavyweight Boxing: Will it ever rise again?By Tom Drury: The Heavyweight division sadly has been on the decline for many years now. Since the times of Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazer, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson just to name a few. Today the Heavyweight division is dominated by two brothers based in Germany born in the Ukraine namely Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko. The Klitschko brothers are two of the most underrated heavyweights in the history of boxing in my opinion, victims of circumstance and the level of fellow heavyweights in the division.

Many fans have the opinion that the Klitschko brothers are boring and have a robotic fighting style this is not true. I will concentrate on Wladimir as he is the better fighter of the two brothers in my opinion.

The Future: How it should be….

Image: The Future: How it should be....by Rusty Nate: I am British! Now that is out of the way I just wanted to put out there my disappointment that so many writers seem to treat the sport and the fighters in it like a world war.

I think a lot of you guys that are reading this will probably know without names which writers are the main culprits for hate articles based on little more than emotion rather than facts of the sport or the careers the fighters have had.

I read some articles and I can feel myself getting more and more irritated by the inhuman one sided tunnel vision that is displayed by these writers.
