All bias aside, do you think people are being way too harsh on Deontay Wilder?

    No I absolutely meant Quick Tillis. It was a tough night for Tyson. After Tyson/Tillis there were legit people that thought Tyson wasn’t gonna amount to much

    Yes


    Wilder is getting what he deserves -given as limited as his skills are and combined with cocky as he has been about being an “all-time great/ I am a king “ nonsense

    I would say so only if he wouldn't have made so many excuses

    Overall, of course. Wilder has given the fans their money's worth and has been entertaining and interesting and that's what we should expect from any fighter- that they don't cheat us for the price of our ticket. No way he deserved all the criticism he got pre-fight or for his performance itself. He fought through some rough terrain and stood up to a pretty good beating. No cheating the fans there.

    After the Fury fight, no way. The weirdo excuses deserve some level of disdain from us. He should get whacked for that.

    Fans are too harsh on fighters in general these days. Wilder has been, and most likely will continue to be a great and exciting addition to the HW division. The hate is childish.

    Yes, people are being too harsh. Boxing fans are like jackals, always ready to tear in to any available carcass.
    Wilder fought bravely in both fights. The first fight could have been called a KO by a different referee.
    As for his resume, I agree that it's mostly shitty, but I do believe that he wanted the Joshua fight, and he did fly all the way to Russia to fight Povetkin.
    I like Deontey when he's just relaxed and being a normal person, but when the pretentious grandiosity kicks in, one can't help from cringing. We all laughed when Charles Martin said he walked the Earth as a God, and Deontey is doing the same thing now. Maybe the two of them should fight next for cosmic supremacy in this harsh universe.
    But yes, I think Wilder is a unique and dangerous fighter and deserves respect.

    Of course. The boxing community has always been overly harsh on Wilder.

    That being said... he brings a lot of it on himself. And I will say that I think his post fight conduct has dropped his stock almost more than the actual loss did.

    Wilder deserves all the hate he is bringing, he is hanging out with the wrong crowd and also pandering to the wrong people

    Hes American who isn't the most articulate guy in the world and right now the majority of hw fans are fans of AJ and/or Fury which is where most of the hate comes from.

    Not at all. I actually think they're going too easy on him. Way too easy in fact. If he doesn't like the fans talking about him then come and shut us up.

    Wilder was extremely babied and coddled and it shows. His first 5 or 6 title defenses were embarrassing.
