But let's be fair to the challenger... He's taken this fight on 3-4 weeks notice so he hasn't had ample time to prepare for an opponent of Wilder's class. Nevertheless, it appears Gerald didn't get memo about his chances of winning.

“He’s gonna be shocked, just like every fighter that steps in the ring with me,” Washington told BoxingScene.com last week. “I’m gonna surprise him, and it’s gonna be very humbling to him.”

But what about Wilder's explosive power? Isn't Washington the least bit concerned about that?
“Everybody can punch, man,” Washington said. “Everybody keeps talking about how Deontay can punch. Everybody can punch. If he lines you up, yeah OK, cool. I know I need to defend for that big punch....'
Washington is a big, strong athletic guy who is just as tall and long as Wilder so size won't be an issue. However, on paper Wilder is several levels above his foe in skill level and experience. As the fight progresses, look for that separation of class to get wider and become more and more apparent.
