Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Plans To Fight Till Age Of 40: Comeback Was Hard Decision

[Boro]

All it takes is just one punch by Deontay to finish Usyk off. If Wilder could floor Fury’s 300 lbs doped up ass 4 times then what make you think he couldn’t do the same to Oleksandr?

Usyk would have to fight the perfect fight for twelve rounds. All Wilder has to be perfect for Is only one punch. Wilder is going to eventually catch him. He can run but he can’t hide.

No he really doesn't have to fight a perfect fight, Szpilka was outboxing him for 9 rounds ortiz basically outboxed every round he was in there with him

And neither of them are on Usyks level as far as technical ability is concerned, if you think Usyk has to be perfect to outbox Wilder you're naïve.

I've said it before on these boards and I'll say it again, Szpilka isn't the bargain version of Usyk he's the bloody homeless version and he's only got more patient/lazy since then... like I said recipe for disaster.

Ok, fine now tell me what inevitably happened to Szpilka once he tasted that slammer from Alabama’s power? That’s right he got knocked the fuck out. Let’s face the facts and the truth.

Wilder does a lot better against guys who attempts to box and stick and move on him than bruising type fighters who attempts to walk him down and back him up on his back foot.

Who the hell taught Wilder the word renaissance?

You completely refuse to accept that he took up until rounds 9/10 on several occasions to get to people like Szplika, Molina, Ortiz, Duhaupas and they aren't on the level, I don't get what you're struggling to understand here, Fury has regressed since his comeback and he still beat Wilder arguably every single fight, Wilder is not what you think he is.

I wouldn't be shocked if Helenius finished him and that in it it's self is laughable, the irony of it all is IF he beats Helenius it'll be the most accomplished pro he's beaten... think on that for a moment and reconsider how good you truly believe Wilder is.

I am not dis*****g the amount of time it takes for Wilder to finish the job. You are absolutely right.

Wilder is a very slow starter. So it may take him 11, 9 or even 10 rounds to get the job done but the bottom line is he gets the job done.

It doesn’t matter how many rounds he is losing or how well is opponents are outpointing him; He will eventually find, catch and then knock them all out.

Wilder could never be counted out of a fight with that equalizing right hand of his.

First - I wish Wilder would sit out longer. I'm not even sure he should come back. Concussions and head trauma are so very serious.

That said, if Wilder is himself and healthy enough to be his normally elusive and resilient self, his fight could be a trememndous start to a big rewind to his career. Because he has been great to and for the Sport, I hope everything goes really well for him. However, If I were his advisor, he would be training cardio and techniques ... and perhaps beginning sparring in another year, maybe.

Love him (Wilder) as a boxer with flaws, and pulling for him. Helenius is a strong opponent, his later career all set to surpass his early career. This is no cakewalk for Wilder. Nor will any other Top Ten fights be cakewalks. The old, original Wilder would probably have blasted through this fight (with ot without trouble from Helenius), and most others too. But the landscaoe is changed. Wilder will be rediscovering how much his body can take at this time ... and it might be a good reveal or a bad one. Time will tell.

Pulling for you Champ! Best wishes to Helenius also.

I agree that Usyk would not be able to maul Wilder and don't think he would have that tactic in mind. Usyk would get inside Wilder's power range and land several quick sharp punches and then retreat. He would do this repeatedly throughout the fight and eventually exhaust Wilder resulting in a discission win or late round stoppage.

If you fight Wilder, you must be perfect for 12 rounds, but Wilder has to be perfect for 1 second. If Wilder catches him with big shot..

Wilder's power is what levels the playing field, that is for sure.
