Why is there so little respect for Deonthay Wilder??

FWIW, googling "the new mike tyson" brings up a video and also at least one other article all about GGG. Nothing about Wilder.

 

I dont care what you think are the reasons why other people dont give him respect. I've just explained my reason, the reasons I dont respect him as a fighter. Take that as a truthful statement of my opinion.

And "3 very good fighter" who are they?

Stiverne certainly would count as one.

Scott was terrible in that fight and was most famous prior to that for a controversial stoppage against Chisora. Many believe he took a dive, and if he didn't then he's one of the most fragile men to ever become a pro-boxer.

Liakhovic hadn't been relevant in the division since 2008, had averaged a fight a year since then and was coming into the fight on the back of two loses. He hadn't beaten anyone of note since Lamont Brewter in 2006 - over seven years earlier.

Harrison was shot to pieces and never made it above domestic level as a pro-fighter anyway.

 

Scott is only bad because Deontay wiped him out in a round.

And then you crybabies started whining about him diving which was not the case at all.

Kelvin Price was very good when Wilder got his hands on him, undefeated and a good prospect.

Stiverne was a top 5 fighter and a champion. :thumbsup

 

LOL @ the denial over Scott's clear dive. If my favorite fighter won a fight like that I'm pretty sure I could still admit it looked a lot like a dive.

 

Wrong, the left hook was what did him in. It was that devastating. Scott looked visibly very hurt.

 

It was clearly a dive MVC

Please don't bring your Toronto gang after me

 

I'm the Pindar

 

No, it was clearly not a dive. :deal

 

Devastating? He didn't even follow through with the hook and it looked like a palm slap, setting up the right hand that didn't end up even really landing.

GERONIMOOOOOOO!!!

 

It wasn't much of the right hand, it was the left hook, Deontay confirmed this.

Now who am I going to trust - Deontay Wilder (A professional who actually threw the punch) or internet keyboard warriors? :huh:think

Hmm that's a hard one.

 

LOL when I'm a heavy weight contender I'll do that, jackass.

 

He wouldn't be here typing if he was hit by one of those. :yep
