Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder On Comeback: Boxing Dies Without Excitement Of American Heavyweight Champ

[hitmanjosh]

I would agree if it were any other fighter, but this clown took advantage of good people working for him and blamed them for his poor ass proformance and spiking his drink and so forth so if you decide to comeback, please fight someone real so we can watch you get that a(Ss) beat again! By the way this your biggest fan MF'er!

Last time I checked, the lighter weight divisions are the ones driving boxing, as a matter a fact it's been like that for the past 20 years. The biggest ppv attractions, have All been south of the HW division, the record breaking fights have all been south of the HW division, at one point in boxing HW we're king's, not the case anymore, and certainly Wilder does nothing for the HW division....

I think the future for Wilder still looks bright. He needs to get back down to a proper weight - no more than 225 - and fight Helenius followed by Ruiz. By late 2023, Joshua will have beaten Usyk in the rematch and pieced up Fury (who, make no mistake about it, really wants no part of Joshua despite his blustering and woofing - and will be shamed into fighting AJ). The stage will be set for the Wilder-AJ blockbuster we should have had years ago, were it not for Hearn’s arrogant, alienating negotiating approach.

Wilder is exciting without doubt and would take care of the likes of Ruiz , Joshua and Whyte but I don't like this American champ business. Maybe to Wilder and his small mind that hurts but to real boxing fans it doesn't matter.America had the history and great heavies but over the years came great fighters like the Klitchko brothers and Lennox Lewis and then the sore one for Wilder, Tyson Fury. We sometimes find ourselves routing for our countrymen but more often than not the great tradition of our sport is may the best man win. It certainly doesn't matter to me wheather they are British but the way they carry our sport like the great man Ali and many more.

Wilder did really well to win a title, even with his limited skillset, he has that right hand power.

America hasn't had a top quality heavyweight champion since the time of Bowe and Holyfield, who with all due respect, were much much better than Wilder.

It definitely helps boxing’s popularity in the usa when there is an exciting heavyweight champion in terms of the casual fans. He is definitely right about that

[hhh1200]

He still has a couple of big KOs over at PBC. He is going to spark Helenius, Kownacki, and Ruiz. Any HW who can get inside in right with good punch resistance is going to be the breaks off of him, but he'll wax guys who stand in front of him.

[SUBZER0ED]

Boxing is fine Wilder, and you'll never be HW champ again.

I was certain it would be Helenius he came back against, but now I'm kinda thinking Ruiz.

Ruiz has proven he's the modern Buster Douglas - he's lazy and isn't going to accomplish a single thing more. May as well cash him out.

There is always the excitement for big ko from Wilder but that's it. I can live and watch boxing without that

Yeah, Wilder was tomato cans slaughter. Lol. There's reason why he was never a draw in USA upon all his ko's. In fact Fury made him famous.
