By Scott Gilfoid: Oscar De La Hoya wants to step the talented unbeaten heavyweight prospect up against some excellent fighters in 2013 to see how Wilder reacts. De La Hoya wants to see if Wilder can handle the adversity of being in the ring with someone that is trying to take his head off in the same way the he’s trying to take there, but most of all De La Hoya wants to see whether Wilder has the talent to become a world champion someday. The best way to do that is to put him in with a top 15 contender to see how he reacts.
De La Hoya said to RingTV “It’s time for him [Wilder] to have a taste of hostile territory. It’s time for him to step it up, which we’re going to do. We have to take him out of his element. Deontay needs to be in there with a guy that’s going to push him back.”
By Allan Fox: Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya thinks unbeaten heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) has a couple of flaws in his game that he needs to fix before he can become a really superb heavyweight and move onto to capture a world title. De La Hoya told RingTV that Wilder needs to work on these flaws in his game if he wants to be able to get to the next level.

By Dan M: In a packed-out arena on the Amir Khan undercard last night, the latest outing for Deontay Wilder [26-0 – 26 KOs] was a feature, in which the Bronze Bomber once again beat what was put in front of him with an emphatic stoppage. The credibility of his opponent, Kelvin price, [13-1 – 6 KOs] is very much open to interpretation and depends largely on which side of the Wilder fence you’re on. The pro-Wilder observer would insist that their man had disposed of a world ranked opponent who was brave enough step up to the task, unlike a plethora of names in the division.
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) wasn’t impressed with the performance of American heavyweight knockout artist Deontay Wilder’s 3rd round demolition of Kelvin Price (13-1, 6 KO’s) last night in Los Angeles, California. Fury thinks that his last opponent Kevin Johnson would beat the 27-year-old Wilder, and Fury suggests that Wilder fight unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price.

By Mark Calooke: To look at unbeaten heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder’s record the average fan would be impressed. Unbeaten after 25 fights and all coming by stoppage. At 6 foot 7 inches tall and clad in tattoos, he looks the part. He can talk the talk but has always failed to walk the walk.
By Jim Dower: Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) did what many people expected him to do and that is easily defeat Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) by a 10th round TKO in what meant as a confidence building fight for the down in his luck Khan at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.
