This prospect will be the goods!

I really don't think he's the best American prospect right now. I don't know who is but Wilder can't be. He's a train wreck waiting to happen. He just ain't any bloody good.

Over here we've got Tyson Fury (16-0) but unlikely to ever amount to anything above British and Commonwealth level. I'd take him to KO Wilder.

David Price, Olympic bronze medalist, rumoured to be a bit chinny but at 6-8 he's another giant amongst the game. Big puncher and a clash with Fury looks like happening early next year.

Finally, Cuban born, Ireland based Mike Perez is another one to watch. Supposedly battered Fury in a sparring session and other reports state how he knocked out Kevin Johnson, also in sparring. Relatively small by todays standards at just 6ft, Perez is pretty quick, hits reasonably hard and is unbeaten in his first 16, 12 by KO. He also has a good amateur pedigree winning the world junior amateur championships at light heavy in 2004.

I think Wilder is better than you think. He's just still very raw and has been in very soft. he may be a train-wreck waiting to happen but from what I've watched recently he looks to be putting things together better behind the jab. He's KO'd everyone in 4 rounds(against the worst oposition, I know) I fail to see where you can make the assertion that he is utter crap when he can actually move pretty well and has a decent jab not to mention big power. I think Furry sucks, he looks off balanced and un-athletic(dude punched himself in the face lol). Furry definitely has the better resume(and I'd favor him right now) but Wilder has far more potential.
