Is Wilder the best actor in boxing?

[BangEM]

I am and know people from bad neighborhoods. We never acted like that. That is over the top

Just saying they're not faking to be tough since they're from a tough background.

Wilder on the other hand is from the Church but started putting on an act at age 30.

Old Wilder used to talk like a Southern Baptist preacher although with very limited vocabulary.

It has NOTHING To do with where your from. It has EVERYTHING to do with your insecurities. Hence the word “ACTING” in “acting tuff”.

I remember this guy used to be some goofy and slow southern boy from Alabama who used to talk about Jesus a lot. And he never hid the fact that his father is a pastor and he grew up in the church as a good boy. The only mistakes he said he made was getting a girl pregnant and smoking some weed.

But since he turned 30 - everything has changed. He now has this thug persona and acts like he’s a gangster.

I have never seen anything like it.

Or is that how people become thugs/gangsters at age 30 in the US? In my neck of the woods, people retire from that nonsense once they hit their late 20s or early 30s - Americans might be different.

It's because he has to earn a living. If he wants to draw a crowd then he must be able to stir up enough interest, buzz and controversy in order for the people to want to listen to what he has to say. He is both in the promotion and hurt business. He has to talk like that because he doesn't have anyone to promote his fights

It's a put on; A gimmick, a schtick if you will. Actually he is really nice guy with good Southern hospitality and manners but most of all he is a family man. He is just a country boy at heart.

No. Fury is the biggest actor. And most of you have bought it.

He is certainly an actor but he's far from the best,, he has come across as a complete fake for years.

At least we agree on this.

You honestly do have a point.

Got like an old interview of this side of Wilder?

Never seen it. I've only seen him as a fake thug. He reminds me of Tupac Shakur a little bit. Another momma's boy who didn't have a father around to make him act like a man. Tupac grew up as a ballet dancer and hanging out with white kids doing art. In his 20s he became a studio gangsta.

Shut the **** up.

Seriously a bunch of anonymous low lives questioning a bunch of dudes who get in the ring and beat opponents half to death.

Something about Wilder really invokes a visceral fear in a lot of you.
