Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder is Still Mulling Final Decision on Boxing Future

[Oldskoolg]

He's done too much to mention. One incident that was uncalled for was the way he got in radio raheems face. There was no need for that. De****able.

So the Hearn and Joshua things are part of it?

There's lots of fights out there to show how good or bad you are. Can many beat you or is it just Tyson?
Many feel anyone in top 10 beats wilder so maybe wilder still has a bit to prove?
Josh, usyk, Joyce,DDD,flip. Ruiz, Parker beat wilder and that's just off top of my head. Maybe wilder needs to prove people wrong. But it's up to him he's one taking punches

maybe he could’ve beat some of those guys two years ago but he’s taken 2 absolute beatings from the best in the world. There is a big chance he won’t be the same anymore and he’s not exactly a young heavyweight now either.

The problem Wilder has now is if those beatings make him gun shy and he can’t pull the trigger the same way, which often happens, what has he got really?

I think it’s odd that Ruiz is coming back but not against Wilder. Ruiz doesn’t have a future, he’s the Buster Douglas of this era. Luis Ortiz will beat him and Ortiz isn’t exactly a marketable guy.

Wilder isn’t doing a camp for a small time fight - I don’t know if they could get him up for Helenius, especially considering the two of them appear to be friends at this point.

If only Deontay Wilder was a British based fighter. Then the heavyweight boxing landscape would resemble the 1960s and 1970s. All the best heavyweights fight in the U.K. America doesn’t have any good heavyweights. There would be good matchup after good matchup.

He's more relevant than D-Bag Whyte though I mean they both lost to the same guy except Dillian flopped and Wilder at least tried. I'm not sure if you know this but Dillian Whyte has never been a world champion and he never will be he's also not British he's Jamaican.

Red - He is both.

He has a lot to think about after fury took his cheeks and humiliated him in front of a worldwide audience of millions

By scoring 4 hard knockdowns of Fury? Please.

Deontay Wilder, whether you like him or not, is a must watch. Freakish puncher who has now been in some of the best fights in heavyweight history. I think when he talks, he frankly sounds like a moron, but this is boxing not a presidential debate.

Wait, so nobody ever souds like a moron in a Presidential debate??????

No, Dillian Whyte is a British citizen of Jamaican descent.

What standing up to are you referring to?

As in not signing with Hearn when Hearn was ridiculing him as an attempt to goad him into signing with him and on dazn. A lot of sweet Carolines took offence to that as well as wilder being seen as an American rival of olawufemi
