Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Anthony Herndon set for June 27th in Wichita, Kansas.

Yeah.... It's getting to that point.

I think someone scrubbed the net of it tho

 

Never heard of the guy.

 

He’s finally found his true level. Hopefully Wilder didn’t let his 8 managers steal all his money.

 

I think at this point he just needs a sure thing. Feels like he said "feed me a HW from the South" and this guys the Texas champ so they went with him.

 

Who do people think he roughly 40year old who can’t pull the trigger anymore should fight?

 

Another hypocrite. When Foreman was Wilder's age he was fighting Tom Trimm and Frank Lux.

Foreman arguably fought more of these guys in his career than Wilder.

 

Yeah but that was during his comeback. He had already beaten Frazier, Norton and Lyle. Wilder’s legacy is fighting bin men then getting starched by a fat coke head lmao.

 

Yeah but ... Yeah but ...

Foreman is an all-time great, and he fought these types of fighters regularly for years. That's the truth.

It's been a decade or more since Wilder fought someone like this. You all know it.

Seriously, you guys need to get a clue. Nearly all your favorites have fought someone like this in the past decade.

Wilder shouldn't be fighting at all. He's old. His timing is gone. Everyone outweighs him. He has one win the last five years. Bashing him for not fighting a top guy is ludicrous.

The careers of old guys fighting on the Midwest circuit, where there aren't very strong athletic commissions, tend to end badly. Those careers tend to wind up more like Greg Page than George Foreman.

You don't want to finish up on the Midwest circuit.

That's where it ended for guys like Morrison and Aaron Pryor and Page, and too many to count.

 

I don’t think he should be fighting the best anymore. That’s why I said he’s found his level. He’s a one trick pony and that one trick is spent.

 

Wilder was badly managed more than anything

I think if he got the povetkin fight he would have either got chinned off or KO'd him in spectacular fashion and given him and his management confidence to stack that resume better

 

Avoiding Povetkin (and Whyte) was probably the wisest move his management could've made - he made them (and himself) a lot more money by beating on lesser fighters...

Put him in with Pov and even if he'd managed to get through it (honestly, I think that's unlikely), if they'd then tried to stack his resume more by fighting the likes of Whyte, Joshua and even Chisora... He'd have lost several times. He might've got through the first, maybe in a rematch (and avoided a trilogy as he'd still have the belt) but you can't win multiple fights with just a punchers chance against guys who are a level or two above you.

I don't honestly think his resume could've been better enough to favour him against those guys - it could've been deeper in gatekeepers, but he was just too limited (and too stubborn to learn) to go a whole lot further.


If anything, Wilder is a case study in just how much money good/correct management can get out of a relatively limited fighter.

 

Wichita Kansas lol.

 

Right!

 

Which hit a can, sass?
