Comments Thread For: DiBella: Wilder's Career is On The Line in Fury Trilogy - And He Knows It

[medic5678]

What’s his diagnosis? Is he using illegal narcotics? Has he used performance enhancing drugs that may create a hormonal imbalance that may induce psychotic states? If so, why are you not being supportive and nurturing the way people supported Fury during his well documented cases of illegal drug usage, PED usage, very public battles with bi-polar disorder?

Who cares? I don't care at all. It's the guy who wins gets my vote. Nothing you can say is going to change the fact the Fury is a vastly better fighter. None of these questions will matter after Wilder gets driven into the canvas. At least Fury is a nice guy. Wilder acts like a ****.

The WBA would rank him, they are now in bed with the PBC more than the WBC, he would be given a shot at one of their baby belts (Regular, interim, Gold) that the PBC seems to be parading around a lot these days. And then the internet would be flooded by the "Anthony Joshua doesn't want the smoke" hourly videos....Like they are doing now with Dillian Whyte and Charles Martin (The same Martin that had a final eliminator with Hrgovic but pull out with an "Injury")... Hrgovic is still looking for an opponent and Martin is ranked number 2 if i remember correctly by the IBF.

So there is a grand, treacherous, q’anon like conspiracy by the pbc to control the wba is it? What belts do Plant, Jermall Charlo, Spence, Russell Jr, and Nonito Donaire have? Shall we include the the IBF and the WBC in on this Cobra/Destro like plan to control the world? Is Haymon cobra commander or Destro? Or is Mayweather cobra commander? Which characters are Ellerbe, Watson, Schaefer? Tom Brown?

Very intersting. Dibella has no use for the queens English and is far from Received Pronunciation. So to is the case for young Deontay but many folks on here don’t use such “controlled” and subdued descriptors of his manner of speech…..”dumb”, “bumpkin”, “ignorant”, “******”, “hood rat” etc etc. Smacks of a sinister motivation methinks….

I only watched a third of the video but the guy sounds like a demented poet at one point.

"You get paid on promoting a fight. You get paid partially on the performance of a paper view."

Not going to bite on the Wilder stuff. However, I will ask how much elite talent is there really at HW? Even if Wilder loses, if he takes it in stride, he should still remain relevant. He's not all that young though. But I suppose heavyweight is the division where age is the least relevant, albeit still a factor. Could see him sticking around for another 5 years or so if he's smart about it.

Hold on there thunder….I’m calling fury to win and I was leaning towards fury winning in the rematch when wilder said he couldn’t punch. Now that that business is out of the way, obviously you do care because you mentioned psychiatric problems. You brought it up. Now if you are saying you were wrong or you did that in error then credit for correcting yourself. As to who fits your fancy more clearly it’s fury….though let us be clear, my fellow GM worker bee had made some truly execrable and abhorrent statements attacking ***s, hanging his sister for promiscuity, telling folk they would go to hell because his religion says so, etc etc. But…you fancy him so…..

Dibella is a smart man with a diversified portfolio of investments outside of boxing namely in minor league baseball. But he is far from an elocution professor. There was no baiting for the Wilder question, it was merely an exercise in rhetorical questioning designed to invoke thought….particularly for the habitually thoughtless.
as for the heavyweight division, other than the top 3, I don’t see a lot of talent. It is my conjecture that Jarrod Anderson will own the division in the next 2-3 years barring a serious flaw in his game declared such as a Glass Joe like ability to take punches or a David tua addiction to all you can eat buffets, or a McCall like preference for crack coccaine….

LOOOOOL is the bolded for real????

[N!Ck F.]

Wilder needs to hire someone like Mackie Shilstone to work on those chicken legs. Then he needs a real trainer, not that absolute clown Jay Deas and now Malik Scott...wilder can’t box for **** but if he developed a more effective strategy for landing that right hand he could stay relevant in the top 10.
If wilder tries anything other than complexly bombing out Fury in the first few rounds he is going to get another savage, embarrassing beating.
I’m actually going for wilder, all these videos, pictures and accounts from sparring partners implying fury tampers with his gloves makes me think he’s truly a gypsy piece of cheating garbage.

Lol his career is definitely NOT on the line. If he lost the fight, he would only have two losses to one fighter. Plenty of fighters have been in that situation before and continued fighting. Will he get the same type of paydays? Probably not. But he'll definitely be relevant enough in the division to where he can still get big fights for good money. He still has the KO power to cause upsets.

[mromano]

Wilder's career wont be over, his marketability would be. The only way back from another loss to Fury would be to start from square one. Get 5-6 wins under his belt vs top 10 opponents and then maybe by then he'll get another shot. He would have to stay active and fighting at least 3-4 times a year. He can't fight just once a year and expect to get back to the top.
