Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I'll Be Very Surprised If Usyk Stick To His Word; We'll See What Happens

[hhh1200]

Wilder should fight AJ in a "battle of the losers" clash.

Regardless of your loser comment, the logic would be to send Wilder to the UK vs AJ for MASSIVE money. Usyk brings nothing but the belts. Assuming he can get past the right hand for 36 minutes what does a 37 year older gain in defeat? It's almost like Wilder being beaten by Spilka instead of knocking him out. There is actually more interest in a Wilder vs Joyce. Either Joyce pounds Wilder or Wilder does a Breazeale him. Usky is basically pitty-pat Lomachenko for 12 rounds.

I think Usyk would welcome a Wilder fight. Hopefully that is next unless Usyk v Fury is next.

Hunch is that Usyk is not afraid of a challenge. Especially when he has the skills to outbox Wilder with relative ease. If Fury can’t happen, Usyk-Wilder and Usyk-Joyce are the best fights to be made

That is not the logic, since they'd make more money in the US. Filling stadiums with 80,000 fans that pay $25 a ticket doesn't gross more money.

Well, obviously Usyk wants Fury for undisputed, and also that's a more difficult fight to win.

Usyk and Wilder would be really interesting. Usyk would be favoured to outbox, and possibly stop Wilder later in the fight.

But it would always be exciting, because if Wilder lands a few big right hands, then he can knock Usyk down, possibly out. There's always that puncher's chance with Wilder, even though his fundamental boxing skills aren't good.

I disagree. Wilder is 37 yrs old. How many more cracks at supremacy will he have? I think if the fight presents itself with a decent payday, no doubt he accepts. The ass whopping can’t be worse than what Fury gave him lol.

Yep, this, it’s now or never for a run at a title and he won’t be successful against fury so might as well get on the next Usyk train he can

There’s a big interest in wilder v Joyce? Where is this interst coming from?

Usyk would not avoid that right for 12 rounds. If Fury wasn't 6'9 almost 300lbs then he would have never gotten up. Look at fighters faces after they get caught clean. Wilder has unworldly power and Usyk isn't more athletic than Wilder. Usyk goes to sleep.

Athletic has to do with stamina , balance and coordination . Usyk is miles ahead in just about every category . I think Usyk could avoid any punch from Wilder all night long if he wanted until Wilder got dizzy from missing so much which I assume would actually happen if they fought ? You can claim Wilder would win but he has to do it he is not over Usyk in any way beyond power punching which has never dealt Usyk a loss in his entire career .

Oh ar, the age might be a factor.

How do you get hold of these $25 tickets ? I agree with your statement but keep it clean.
