Never have I seem a young up and coming heavyweight garner such polarizing opinions. I only ever hear two things: 1: He's the "savior of the heavyweight division", "he's the next George Foreman", and he will destroy Klitschko if he ever fights him. 2. He sucks and is knocking out all bums. "Bad chin exposed from the amateurs", no stamina, no skill and "if he fights a legit contender he will get killed". Do you think he's the next big star or the next Micheal Grant?
He's a entertainer and I respect him, even wish him a good career. I respect him because he starts boxing because of his daughter, who's ill. A father, stepping into the ring, to make much money for her. Not this RJJ, Holyfield, Tyson bull****, who will never pay off their debts because two cars were not enough .. he's a real family man. Unfortunately, he has one of the worst chins in boxing history, maybe worse than Andrzej Wawrzyk, who's right now undisputed no.1 in the glass jaw P4P rankings. Wilder's only advantage is his reach, height and punching power. He has no idea how to box, I think I could beat him if I step up into HW. YOu need to make pressure, like Arreola with Mitchell. But if Wilder makes pressure too and lands first through luck, he will win. I think his aim is a fight against Wlad, for the payday. A fight against Wlad can bring him more money than he would ever earn with work his whole life. Since he's not wasting the money like others, he fullfilled his aims. After 2015 we will never hear from him again.
I used to be a believer when it came to Deontay Wilder. But then he went ahead and beat that woman up in 2013 "The woman had swollen eyebrows, a possible broken nose, a cut lip and red marks on her neck.". And then he gave ******boy Charlie Zelenoff a streetbeating with gloves on and all of this while never participating in any of the big fights that he could have signed up for. Deontay Wilder is a fake and a ******..... and if you're reading this Deontay.... I'd be more than happy to have a Zelenoff type of encounter with you so don't be shy now.
i jast sot ebaut kompering Wilder wiz Grant yesterday or d dei b4, bat Wilder lax d rezume 4 it. Grant>Wilder end wil rimein so.
He's awkward and he's the hardest HW puncher since Wlad. Stylistically, I give him a better chance than anyone else vs. Wlad but he probably gets wrecked. He's good though. Will be top 25 for a while. Edit: If it was an option, I'd pick "Better than boxing fans give him credit for but probably will never be a long-reigning holder of any belt that really matters"
I lost any respect for Wilder when he started ducking opponents calling him out. Charr tried to arrange a fight with Wilder. Wilder ducked him. Chisora has called Wilder out three times. Wilder ducked him three times, even faking visa issues to avoid him. Fury has called Wilder out. Wilder ignored him. Price's team were trying to organise a fight with Wilder before the fight against Thompson. Surprise, surprise, Wilder ducked him. Tony Thompson tried to arrange a fight with Wilder shortly after he beat Price. Wilder ducked him. Yet then, Wilder has the audacity to claim everyone in the heavyweight division is scared of him? Even after he's ducked such a long list of opponents. He's a coward. The Chisora duck was BLATANT since a week after the fight was supposed to take place, he was over here sparring Haye.
--This all happened at a hotel at 7:30am, the morning before the Mayweather fight. Police say a male (Wilder) and female (a hooker) got into an altercation. The woman was taken to the hospital with possible broken nose, swollen lip and eyebrows and strangulation marks on her neck Wilder's attorney said, "Deontay instinctively acted under the false impression that someone (the hooker) was stealing from him. That wasn't the case.-- [yt]2nvhLbDhKyY[/yt]
How did Wilder get ranked # 3 WBC by not fighting anyone even nearly ranked? Wilder has refused to fight anyone ranked period.
