Deontay Wilder, one step away from superstardom. PPV in 2018?

Lol

 

And half step away from getting starched.

 

absolutely, yes

 

PPV?

Must be on the undercard of a big fight or something...

 

I concur. Unfortunately it's no one holding Deontay back from stardom but his own inability to market himself. When you let another big Black man in the same division (Anthony Joshua), that has never step foot in the ring of the country that you were born in (Anthony Joshua), have better recognition on the streets than you (Anthony Joshua) then you are many steps away from superstardom. Joshua has been champion for how many years now?

A heavyweight Champ from America usually known through out the country and the world.
Give credit to wilder though, he is well known in Alabama lol

 

All that is true except the second bits lol.
Tyson have IT, he is a star even before became a champ. Wilder wasted 5 years but hasn't captured public attention.
Joshua starting later but beats him cause he dares to fight Wlad. Now wilder needs Joshua to be mainstream.
Beating King Kong and Parker will not do it.

 

But Wilder has a statue of himself in Alabama!

PPV?! How much will they pay the fans to watch him fight another wino from the alley?

 

More like one punch away from being irrelevant.

 

If that step was a fight with Anthony Joshua to unify the WBA (Super), IBF and WBC Title then you'd be right, but there's no one else out there who could make him a "superstar". No one else in the division has the high profile or drawing power.

 

your right. the thing is, he would only be on PPV because of joshua. not becasue of his own recognition lol

 

That's not even a possibility until he steps in that ring with Aj.. They are the only kryptonite for each other.

Can't wait till the Sunday following the dw/ortiz fight. We will have 90% of this forum eating endless crow.

 

Black man? Anthony O'Joshua is an Irishman! First and foremost! Like Ali before him!!!
