Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: "I'm A Hall Of Famer, No Questions Asked"

[DClefthook]

The current era's black American Olympians who went on to become world champions and future hall of famers:

Mayweather, started boxing at birth.

Ward, started boxing at 9.

Wilder, started boxing at 20.

That's not too bad.

Now give us the list of current white, mexican or asian american olympians who went on tobecome world champions and future hall of famers.

Why is that?

I’m a hall of famer too. When I retire from posting here I will be inducted into the IBHOF along with Wilder and Abner Mares.

We’re all hall of famers.

What shall keep Deontay Wilder out of the Hall of Fame? He has never popped dirty for doping, he has a high 91 percent KO ratio and he has the fifth most title defenses of any Heavyweight champion in history since Muhammad Ali.

Therefore, eventually and inevitably, he will get in. Perhaps not just on the first ballot. However, if he regains the Heavyweight title for the second time then he is almost a shoe in for a first ballot selection.

With the exception of an old past his prime Ortiz, which was Wilder’s best win, the rest of his title defenses were against cans…with most being “voluntary defenses” the Wbc allowed at leisure. Combine that with getting a gift draw and two beatdowns by a Fat Gypsy…yea Wilder sure-fire Hof.

You nailed it! All those who day differently do so simply out of dislike for Wilder, it clouds their objectivity.

He's going into the Hall of Fame for excuses. Having said that, going into the Hall of Fame is a bit overrated IMO

[Amir Imam]

Not yet Deontay…He needs wins over 3 Top 5 HWs and a stellar championship run before he can be HOF. He already has wins over 5 Top 10HWs. Why y’all only post his quotes that’ll get the fans to hate him?

You are right. Even Anthony Joshua is a future Hall of Famer.

[champion4ever]

You're damn right he is. He never set his sights on becoming an Olympic Bronze medalist with only 38 amateur fights or a heavyweight champion with more than 10 title defenses and getting into the Hall of Fame.

He only took up boxing at the age of 20 just so he can earn enough money to feed his family and pay for his daughter's medical bills. He has already achieved in his 14 year career what most heavyweight fighters have never achieved in their lifetimes.
