    Deontay Wilder...

    The wild beast of the Alabama basin...will always be one right hand away from re-affirming the fragility of humanity, the longer he is avoided the more impulsive-neurons are concentrated at the end of the Hardest right hand in Human evolution. Deontay Wilder power will keep increasing as more neurons concentrate at his fistic dominated CNS system & at that reach he doesn't need reflexes to deliver the MOAB to the Cranium of his future HL-KO victim.

    Everybody who steps in the ring with Deontay Wilder, knows that there is a 99% chance he will experience the most traumatic experience in his lifetime, so it could be a long wait until any Belt-holder thinks its a wise idea to face his greatest fear. The life-loving-survivalist nature of human belt-holders will delay Wilder march back to his Throne, and will help Deontay Wilder become the oldest man to win back his Crown in a devastating-anticipated KO nothing less.

    The being two months shy of his 46th birthday raises it a level.

    There's a big difference between being 40 or 41 and being an athlete who is 45 just about to turn 46.

    I think I said the other day that would be like if Joseph Parker won a world heavyweight title in May 2038. What are the odds of that happening? Zilch. (LOL)

    Well, yeah I don’t think anybody is going to replicate Foreman exactly.

    Wilder has been a shining beacon...he has single handedly saved HW boxing in the usa culminating in the fury series.....his charisma,his talking ability,his throwback weight...the pulverising power....the look..the ring entrances....this man would have been a paper titlist in any decade since the 1980s.
