I somewhat see you point. Black fighters are in the United States a dime a dozen so to speak. Floyd Mayweather was not the big star until his fight with first Gatti, da La Hoya, and Hatton. he did a lot of talking that he had really not done before, and this seemed to put him out into the public. If Hearn did that, shame on him

Suprised that he would say anything like this, because he always seemed like a class act.

I guess the forth paragraph must have originally been written in Spanish. It does not make much sense from the other guy that is not Martinez. It seems to state, If I am not ready, I don't want to lose, but I feel perfect. It would be an interesting match, but these guys aren't really going anywhere. One for nostalgia I suppose.

For me the question is how Wilder will be mentally after his loss. It was a real beatdown. But many boxers in the past showed that Wilder was beatable, but they just were not able to do it. Ortiz, was much older than Wilder, whereas Fury is younger, even many felt that Gerald Washington was winning the rounds before he was stopped. I remember a forgotten fighter now, who like Wilder was a Bronze medalist in the Olympics named John Tate. He had won the WBA heavyweight championship. He was leading Mike Weaver in his title defense going into the 15th and final round. but starting in the 12th, it seemed something might be wrong. He was knockout with some 50 seconds to go. Some months later Tervor Berwick stopped him in 8. He fought again, I don't think lost, but never fought elite competition again. If Wilder can come back from this, it will show what character he really has. He does not even have to be champion. Floyd Patterson, while he may have been world champion, really racked some of more significant wins after his two one round knockouts at the hands of Sonny Liston. He beat George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Oscar Bonavena. Lost close and controversial decisions to Jimmy Ellis and Jerry Qarry, one which was a also a draw with Quarry. He actually fought better completion than he did when he was champion.

First, how amazing that Haye is his manager. After what happened those many years ago. Makes you think the incident was planed like in professional wrestling. Usyk is not getting any younger, so this is really a good match for him. I would rank Mr. Chisora not in top ten of heavyweights today, but top 14. He is a good test for any up and coming heavyweight.

I sued to watch Jeff Fenech fight, and felt he got robbed like many did in the first fight with Azumah Nelson. Really though Jeff, Mike is 53 years old. Look what happened to Bernard Hopkins when he fought Joe Smith.

got to give this boxer some credit, he was one of the very few people to say that Fury was going to stop Wilder. Though considering before his fight with Richard, he did not look apparently against a Japanese fighter.

My former girl friend who I am still friendly with commented that she felt that something was wrong with Wilder. She had seen the first fight with me, and was shocked how Fury beat him up in the second fight on Youtube. Now she was very impressed on the this fight that Fury moved so well, but I mentioned to her when we watched the fight I though he was wasting a lot of energy. And I think that would be shown to be true, as I only gave Fury the 10th rounds, and actually had the fight a draw. I do think in that fight the knockdown may have made Fury more wary, and I think that the knockdown that Wilder suffered also had an impact on him, and even the time he went down in the same round, it should not have been a slip but a knockdown. Also in 4th or 5th, wilder was hit and the ropes seemed to save him, but I think that should have been ruled one as well. he mentions being in retreat mode, I just don't think he really expected Fury, who had promised this, that he would be going after him, plus the weight that Fury put on him was a huge factor. It was 273, not 40 pounds that hurt Wilder. Plus he had actually put on more weight from there first fight tan Fury did. ten pounds might have been better. However, I think Fury just has his number.

His answer is a rather poor one, however he is still immature at 21. Don't really know him, but how does he act around people is what is important.

well I always remember when Bernard Hopkins said that, First before the Calzaghe fight. He lost a split decision, in Vegas with American judges. Then he lost every round to Sergie Kovalev, and finally was knocked out of the ring and stopped by by Joe Smith. Yes he was old, but that is what sometimes happens. In heavyweight champions history, the only ones never to lose to a white fighter were Liston, Ali, Franzer, Michael Spinks, Moorer and Lewis. Haney has not yet defeated a whose who of fighters. he is only 21, and I would excuse his arrogance and silliness due to his age. Hopefully he won't go the Broner way. He has never been tested, and when he is that will really show who he is.
