Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Back in Training, Is Ring Return Looming?

That’s all he head for 95% of his career and he only had one lost. I think it’s too late to teach a old dog new tricks. However I think he should call Freddy roach.

He needs to call someone, mate. Once a man is taken apart in the ring everyone believes they can do it and self belief is a big part of the sweet science. He didn’t used to fight like that when he was coming up, he didn’t win the title like that....he thoroughly outboxed Stiverne when stiverne was at his peak. That first appeared against Molina when he stated he wanted rounds. I didn’t see it against Duhapaus, it came into the norm when he was in with Szpilka. It’s an extremely lazy way of fighting and I criticised it from day one. No great fighter in history would have purposely given away rounds like that. Even in the rope a dope, Ali was landing the better shots against Foreman and had an actual strategy and knew when to turn it up. Even now thinking about Wilder’s horrid style angers me because it’s a waste of talent. That man is the best pure athlete in the heavyweight division and he could have been totally dominant

Wilder isn't a 'waste of talent'... he has no talent to waste. A punch. That's all he's ever had. Way too much of an ego to listen to anyone. He'll beat a few 2nd/3rd tier HWs, then lose vs any top guys. Hardcore narcissism has never done a fighter a bit of good in the long run.

Ok so anyone with a big punch can you in a bronze medal in the Olympics and win the heavyweight title, defend it many times, draw with Fury the best heavyweight of the last 15 years or so.....yeah, no. 50+ years of watching boxing won’t allow me to think that way

Would be great to see him fight Ruiz. Would be long overdue if he fought Whyte.

We all know it will be against Martin.

Going off the picture from the article it looks like they did a pretty good job hiding those autopsy scars of Wilders

theres no chance he's making his comeback v Whyte . Whytes been active and Wilder will be rusty , a rusty Wilder will be getting caught plenty by Whytes left hand and knocked out

Why doesn't BS call their asses up? Is this journalism or speculation fans do every day put on a higher platform as if it's worth a damn thing?

[Redgloveman]

Hopefully he makes adjustments to his style, that lazy wait to land a right hand while giving away rounds is the worst strategy ever

That’s not a strategy. It’s a lack of boxing skills and being bailed out by natural athleticism.

You all talking nice about Deontay now, when you hated on him for months can KISS MY ASS! BOMBSQUAD!!!

[Boxingkeen]

Who better to beat up/train with than your own personal punching bag. He knocked that guy out in less than 2minutes. This won’t help him beat fury, or Joshua. He’s lucky if he has more than 3 fights left in his career.
