Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder To Have Surgery on Hand, Return Eyed For Mid-2022

Go ahead and build a list of all the HWs in the top 50 who can take Wilders nuclear blast right to the chin and keep going.

Don't worry, I'll wait. Take your time.

Wilder is 2-2-1 against non-bums. Taking his blasts isn't the only way you win. Fury has a weak chin with great recovery. If he didn't, a guy like Cunningham(not even a modest power puncher amongst cruisers) wouldn't have put him on his ass. And if Fury can knock out Wilder, nearly anyone in the top 15 can. Fury is obviously remarkable. But he's the Mayweather of heavyweights. He has no business knocking anyone out. Wilder would be lucky to be in the top 15 of US heavyweights of all time.

Mid 2022 is a bit ambitious, no? He broke a bone in his hand in addition to getting beat up and knocked out.

Bones in your hand don't take that long to heal. Brain injuries are cumulative. Waiting 6 months or even 2 years won't change much if he's not having significant concussion symptoms right now and in the next month or so...unless he has very delayed symptoms which some people get. I know my last one got worse over the last 6 months after the trauma...8 years later and it's not any better. But all my previous concussions came with zero symptoms lasting past a day or two

Solid post above and thanks for the insight on your first hand experience suffering from concussions,sounds like you've had more than a few.

jonny C'mon man! Give Deontay a break will ya! Hasn't he been humbled enough? The man has fought the very best heavyweight fighter on the planet in back to back knockout losses. So he deserves a W in the win column in order to restore his confidence back.

Best Hw on the planet??? He only beat Deotay Wilder, for Fury to be called the best he needs to beat all the hitters out there...Usyk, AJ, Whyte,Ruiz etc...he doesn’t automatically beat any of them just because he beat the sheet of Beyoncé.

Fury also had a x-ray on his hand:

He's going back to beating low level bums while Tyson Fury rules the division.

Funny enough, they might meet for the 4th time if Wilder becomes WBC mandatory, which he very well might.

Fellas, Deontay Wilder has broken his right hand several times before and has come back fully healthy.

He was unlucky several times, then

Could it be that all those fractures have somehow diminished his right-hand power? One imagines that a fully functional hand would not have allowed Fury to get up after those punches.

Just a hypothesis, though...

I'm more concerned about the punishment he took in the last 2 fights and how he reacts to shots now. Definitely respect your experience but we know everyone reacts to trauma differently.

Probably . . .

Early in his career he would land that thing and guys would black out while slumped against the ropes and snap their ankles on the way down.

Either that, or they would go into seizures, convulsing like they'd been hit by a lightning bolt.

Now he's just hoping he can keep them down longer than the count of 10.
