Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Whether It's Andy Ruiz or Oleksandr Usyk - I'm Ready!

[Kannabis Kid]

120-108 Usyk .... That is if Usyk doesn't take him out in the later rounds ... Of course there's always the chance of that Right landing, his ONLY weapon since he has a pretty average ring I.Q. and lacks fundamentals to get out of trouble...

He disposes of Ruiz in a fashion way though...

Wilder is doomed to be the 3rd Guy for the rest of his career ..

If Chisora and Joshua can catch Usyk so can Wilder he's faster than both of them. I still favor Usyk to box smart but that size difference could play a huge factor.

[STREET CLEANER]

Any top opponent against Wilder is interesting. He has that legit right hand that does land and has landed on every opponent that he has faced and it affected them.

IF a fighter is able to neutralize it he can get out boxed and out hustled.

There is nothing more true that everyone has to be perfect against him during the whole fight. He is a one trick pony but what a trick it is.

What about Wilder vs Joshua???

I'd like to see that one as well. But have come to believe it will never happen. I put all the responsibility for that on Joshua and his team.

[OldTerry]

what the hell was He doing running in circles and Hellenius was catching him all the time with the Jab.Bad footwork, circling is not footwork especially if you can not fight on the backfoot is useless to circle around, You oinly end up getting tired. Wilder needs to have both feet on the canvas to land. He only landed one punch. Do not believe He is ready for Joshua or Usyk.A Brawler is always a brawler.Same fury same mistakes

Yet Wilder ends the fight in the first round despite all the negatives you say he has? Wilder doesn't try to win a boxing exhibition as he rather when the fight by hurting his opponent.

Notice he didn’t call out Joshua, the guy who can bring him his best payday.

He did say he would like to fight Joshua and have the fight happen in Africa. Personally, I don't believe it is a fight Joshua wants and Wilder isn't going to waste his time calling him out. If it happens it will be because of the money Joshua realizes he will make.

You think Wilder stands any chance at all of legit winning on the cards vs Usyk?

I think he does. No doubt that Usyk in the superior boxer, but there is more to winning a fight than that. Wilder never intends to win on points and the odds favor him in the sense that at some in the fight he will land a knockout punch. If it's only a boxing match then Usyk wins, but if it is a fight then Wilder wins.

[OldTerry]

If he fights Usyk he looses after getting tired by round 4.
Usyk by KO or UD.

I think Wilder can KO Ruiz and Ruiz is nothing special.

"Nothing Special" stopped AJ in their first fight and put AJ on his bicycle in the second fight.

Ruiz from Parker fight and from 1.st. Joshua fight was a very sharp hungry fighter with an excellent hand speed.

Things changed, he made his money in Joshua fights, he probably still trains, but he looked like a trash in his last two fights.

If Ruiz from the first Joshua fight was around, I would pick him to KO Wilder.

I can see the "first Ruiz" stopping Wilder, but I can also see it going the other way. Despite all his faults, Wilder is better than many will give him credit for. He knows his limitations and has adapted a style that works great within those limitations.

People who are thinking Usyk beats Wilder easy are crazy he (Usyk) wins almost all of his fights that do the distance 8-4 one KD from Wilder assuming he manages to get up and he's in the position of having to take risks and that doesn't end well...

But on the flip side Wilder is extremely prone to being outboxed and we've not seen an improvement in that department and Usyk is arguably the best technical boxer in the division so he might never get the opportunity to land that backhand with Usyks pace and Wilders questionable engine.
