Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Did My Best, But It Wasn't Good Enough

[davefromvancouv]

I lost my voice screaming at the action last night. Even the announcers were saying they didn't care about the scorecards because it was non-stop action for 11 straight rounds.

I wanted Wilder to continue his success to the body, but it's a fight. Just like I said in the buildup, Fury fought back harder after every knockdown and after every big shot. His wife was concerned about the punishment Fury was taking, but he pulled through and knocked Wilder out.

Nothing like seeing it live. And nothing like watching top fighters in their prime fighting it out, digging deep, and making history.

Wilder beats every other heavyweight out there not named Fury.

THE
BEST
HEAVYWEIGHT
FIGHT
EVER!!!

Tyson Fury finally proved he is the king of the division. He went through hell and fought back harder every time he was knocked down or hit hard.

Deontay Wilder proved he is a GREAT fighter!!!!
He never quit and he should be proud of what he did tonight. He lost to the better man. He joins Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and Lennox Lewis as my favorite fighters of all time. Looking forward to ANY fight involving Deontay Wilder.

Both fighters proved their greatest tonight.

Damn! Give Wilder a break will you! Fury only outweighed him by 40 pounds or more. Those are some very tremendous odds to overcome. Shit, how much punishment can the human body absorb before reaching its breaking point?

Tyson Fury has more physical ability than Deontay Wilder which he used to his advantage and was a huge factor in the fight. His size was his main key to victory. A good bigger man will always defeat a good smaller man!

The biggest mistake that Malik Scott made was to pack on all that 30 lbs of muscle to Deontay Wilder's frame. It helped wore him down physically and earlier than usual by making him slower and taking away his legs.

Any more excuses? What happened?

Any heavyweight who can punch, who is extremely aggressive will beat Usyk.

Wilder beats Usyk, hits too hard, and is too naturally aggressive.

Fury & Wilder may well be 1 & 2 ranked in the division.

Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Whyte they're the big four.

Usyk is getting done in the rematch with Joshua.

Wishful thinking

Fury has skill with out a doubt, but his weight won him this fight. If Fury was lighter he would have lost, not because Wilder is more skillful, but because he would not be able to take Wilders punches, and Fury's punches would have been far less affective. Back in the day Fury would have been a super heavyweight fighting against the likes of butter bean. Ever since I saw how Canelo would swell up multiple weight classes, I have said that there has to be a weight gain limit, and that should also apply to heavyweights. Out weighing your opponent by 40 to 50lbs is not only an unfair advantage it is also dangerous. Credit to Fury for the win, credit to Wilder for fighting his heart out. But based on what happened last night, if Fury was with in 15 to 20 lbs of Wilder, I suspect we would be having a completely different conversation this morning.

That's a lot of couldve wouldve. Weight was a factor but so was skill and resiliency. You could also say that if Fury was lighter, he would've been faster and quicker on his feet. The truth is that Wilder has only one tool and never a plan b or c and that's where Fury is way better that Wilder. Better skills, better footwork and ring IQ. Fury is just on another level

i agree with him too! smartest poster alive! beating wilder isnt some all time great win. the guy was overrated and fury nearly got ko'd in 2 of the 3 fights. he also almost lost to otto wallin. there is a chance fury would lose to the real top guys in the division. wilder really wasnt a top guy based on resume or performances. both of those categories he was abysmal in. the category he did excel in was hype though. "to this day" ring has him ranked over whyte. thats just nonsensical and irrational. wilder hasnt won a fight in 2 years and whyte has a resume that is 5 times better. that is the benefit of hype and whyte isnt some great fighter either but hes just a solid top 5ish fighter. "to this day" they still have ortiz ranked even though he hasnt beaten a top 10 guy in 6 years! its some kind of group psychosis. they never stop to say "wait why do we think this guy is so good?" its just baked into their brains

Wallin almost beat Fury due to the cut not because he was winning the fight. There's a reason why Wallin and his trainer were desperate to open the cut at any cost because Fury was outboxing Wallin.

Felt kinda bad for Wilder. He was gassed by round three - but he was trying the best he could. Takes a lot of balls to go on as long as he did to be completely exhausted. No matter what, great fight for everyone. Wish the best for both guys

Nope. I'm a Wilder fan. I just acknowledge that Fury is the better fighter (right now). If they fight again, I'll always be picking Wilder to knock him out.

Your sig quote I agree with that guy he knows what hes talking about

Yeah what a brilliant guy he is

[praxst]

Was a great exciting fight! I think Wilder has taken too many hard head shots the last 2 fights, probably ruined the rest of his career. Not sure he can bounce back from these beatings, punch resistance probably not good in the future. Great effort from both.
