Comments Thread For: Colbert on Wilder: What Will He Learn From Someone He Knocked Out?

[champion4ever]

Go and get a drink, Champ. Antagonising people on the internet all the time is no life. It looks miserable, like Wilder's life and "Career".

You know what Sid? You are right. That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. I do need to take chill and relax a bit. I have been a bit too zealous and passionate in my defense of Deontay Wilder. So thanks for the advice mate!

Then be self-aware enough to go and get some sunlight and a life. Try and bring a bit of joy into your life before it's too late.

Advice, well taken. I receive it! Thanks for the guidance Sid!

Just like yourself, I had no clue why Colbert did his hair like that but after listening to some of his interviews all his hair colors are for certain causes. Cancer, Mental issues, Pride month, Black history , whichever seems to be the theme that month he does his hair color for whatever cause.

He already said the orange is for MS (multiple sclerosis). Very admirable of him.

Freddie Roach was coached on how to be a trainer by Eddie Futch and blossomed into one of the best trainers of all time.

Please do not compare Freddie Roach to Malik Scott.

It wasn’t a direct comparison. I was just providing an example of a former fighter who trained someone with much greater talent than their own.

Is Manny Pacquiao not a greater fighter than Freddie Roach was?

And Eddie Futch never fought professionally yet he trained several legendary pro boxers so that proves my point.

Did Malik Scott learn how to train boxers from Eddie Futch?

Don't compare Malik Scott to Freddie Roach ever again.

I don’t think anyone made a direct comparison, and Eddie Futch himself never fought professionally yet he taught Roach and trained many legendary fighters.

If NSB and the internet had existed in 1951 (when he was Malik Scott’s age) then trolls would have been calling Futch a bum too because he hadn’t trained any world champions yet.

But, but, but... Roach also worked with and learnt from a legendary trainer. He spent years with Futch both as a fighter and as an assistant. When Pacquaio picked Roach, Roach had already trained a world champion and had plenty of experience.

What exactly is Scott's experience that gives him the proficiency or knowledge to justify training at this level?

Scott may one day become a great trainer, but it is really hard to believe he is there already.

I do believe he can probably pass on some stuff about footwork, but I doubt there is a great deal beyond that and --crucially -- does he have the gravitas/leverage/respect to really push Wilder and force him to learn knew tricks?

I honestly don’t know Malik Scott’s training proficiency but I do know that Futch hadn’t trained any world champions yet when he was Scott’s age.

I’m not saying Scott is a great trainer; he may crash and burn for all we know but Futch himself never fought professionally so let’s see what happens.

I don't know what point you are trying to make. Futch never fought professionally. Correct, because of a heart murmur. Up to that point he had fought to a high amateur level. So what?

Futch trained a fighter to the level of contending for a world championship in 1946, when Futch was 35 and had been involved in training for a decade. His fighter faced Jake La Motta and didn't take an L. So simultaneously, Futch was younger than Malik and with more experience.

As I say, Malik could well turn into a good trainer, we don't know. There is a big question mark over what he is like as a trainer right now. Who has he trained before that demonstrates his aptitude in this area? Is it usual in any sphere to go to effectively the top of the tree without any kind of proving ground? It happens in football (soccer for our American friends) I suppose -- high level professional players retire and sometimes walk into top level jobs (they are often bad and get sacked). Even then, they have to achieve coaching qualifications.

Maybe this will be the big break that makes Malik a force to be reckoned with as a boxing trainer. Or maybe he will be thrown under the boss afterwards like Breland. I know which I think is more likely.

I would also love to see any evidence of the genius that Wilder claims Scott has in this area. I'm keeping an open mind, but I have to be honest: I'm sceptical.

Ok,mate! I am going to give it a rest for awhile. However, I promise I shall be vindicated and proven right on the night of July 24th.

You guys are going to look like fools once Deontay Wilder regains his WBC title from one Tyson Fury. I fucking guarantee it!

Tyson Fury is not the fighter that everyone is making him out to be. He is overrated and Wilder is going to prove just that on the night of the fight. Just remember where you've heard it here first!

HA
After Fury wins Just remember to Western Union or PayPal my $100 July 25th

You got it pal! I just don't see what you guys see in Tyson Fury that makes him so great. He is overrated.

He can't compete within the confines of the Marques of Queensberry Rules of boxing. He has to bend the rules just in order to defeat Deontay Wilder by punching him through the non-padded area of the gloves.

He is just a pure bare knuckle boxer. You will see once he is exposed on the 24th day of July.

[eco1]

the problem with Wilder is not that he lost, it is all the multiple ****** excuses he came up with.

Now he hires Malik "I dive in style" Scott and has his wilderettes (Who cant afford paying for the PPV) going crazy with this revenge BS.
The worst thing that can happen to a fighter is come into a fight with a heated head looking for revenge, lol. What a bunch of blind fools.
