Comments Thread For: Arreola Confident Deontay Wilder Will Beat Tyson Fury in Trilogy Fight

[OldTerry]

Wilder has not fought power punchers in his entire career .

Ortiz was a power puncher, Wilder fought him twice and won twice.

one fattie deserts another fattie, wilder has a shot in the first few rounds and if he has a total homer ref that doesnt allow fury to do anything he wants, if i was wilder i would be giving tony weeks a call, hes your man, bayless tried but no cigar cos u could barely stand up in that one

And they absolutely do hate this man…all because he opposed Eddie Hearn….

For me, it has nothing to do with Hearn. Wilder is a protected HW who claims to be "The Annointed One". He has also claimed that he will unify the division, that he wants a body and has made a host of other ridiculous claims. To date, his only true notable opponents are Luis Ortiz, who is clearly past his prime, and Tyson Fury, who after three years out of the ring, gave Wilder difficulty in their first fight and handed him his ass in the rematch.

Fury needs to get his ass in the ring and fight or his mind will continue to wander. He is not focused on this fight. If he don't fight soon then he might as well retire because he is gonna get his whooped the longer this fight is delayed. He won't be his normal self. He has been running on this Wilder high for so long that he has now lost his hunger and passion to want to train.

These anti-Wilder comments are so similar to the comments these same people were making over the likelihood of the Arbitration being successful for Wilder. All of the same ridicule and disparaging Wilder comments ... same cheerleading for their biased choices of what they would like to see happen ... etc, etc.

The fact is Wilder took a beating (gloves, suit, etc or not) and didn't like it. He doesn't accept it. That anger, disbelief, and humility combines to form a massive dose of motivation ... without even talking sbout the fight to keep his contracted rematch enforced. This is a very motivated guy. Nothing changes things more in boxing than motivation. Fury had a huge dose before ... which led him to Kromk Gym and some real tough guys as sparring partners. The rest is history. It seems that things have gone full circle and Wilder is the suprememly motivated one now. That much motivation makes a guy dangerous. It makes a dangerous guy even more dangerous.

Fury is a great, underrated Boxer for sure. His size, strength, lightness on his feet, and reach make him hard to hit without being in the danger zone yourself. Kronk made him a hard, prepared, full of stamina tough guy last time out. Will he have that going in this upcoming fight? I don't know ... but if he does he will be very hard to beat up. Wilder however, is in a different zone this time per preparation and being in tough-man shape. This is going to be very interesting.

I'm pulling for Wilder, but I like both guys. If both come in ultra-fit and prepared we will get an amazing fight and war for the ages. I don't know who is going to win or how, but I do believe everyone will walk out of that ring with some serious respect (barring an early devastating punch ... which either guy is capable of delivering). This will be epic ...

... if it actually happens. There seems to be a lot of delays and bad karma for the schedule of this fight. I won't judge people's motivations or unfortunate circumstances for all of these delays, but it definitely throws some doubt into the mix of whether this fight really happens. Hoping for all us real boxing fans that it does. I'm also hoping all the biased fan-girls, haters, racists, bus-riders, bum-kissers, etc. will put their biases away and for once become real fight fans ... and appreciate the potential and realization of this tremendous fight. I hope this is the first in a line of great HW fights going forward.

So you hate him for that?

So you hate him for that?

I don't hate the guy, I just don't care for him talking as if he's the man when he hasn't beaten anyone of note to prove it. And making all of those excuses when he lost causes me to seriously question his character.

He proved it last night not prior to that .
