Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: You Can't Be the Face of Boxing When I'm Here Fighting Guys 20, 40, 50 Pounds Heavier than Me

[MastaBlasta]

Jake Paul is a multi-millionaire and he is crap. Wilder is a very good fighter but face of boxing?? lol Usyk is not the face of boxing and he is a small guy with no great power at HW. He came up from crusierweight and within 5 minutes won more titles than Wilder ever had.... Wilder has been too scared to take the big fights in his career. Even Fury was an easy pick that backfired - big name, retired, fat

Yet here we are talking about Wilder for the 1500th time. Face it, Wilder has been A face of the game for a bit. Not THE face, but A face. He and AJ both.

Fair comments. Tbh I’m defo one that rips his technique, but my point is his KO power has/had much, much bigger crossover power with non-purists. So many, many casuals could and should’ve gotten on board with boxing off the back of his stuff

Boxing doesnt really seem to reach many casuals anymore, and when it does that third point comes into play. Like Highlander, there can be only one....after losing to Fury, he doesnt get to be that one.

He was saying he was THE face of boxing. I never said he wasn't A face. He definitely has that hype around his punch power.

The face of boxing is about as relevant as who tunes in to watch. I ask an MMA buddy at my job, he would think for a moment and say, Ryan Garcia. I ask a casual boxing fan latino, they'll say Canelo. I ask someone from the hood, they'll say Tank. It's all really irrelevant. I watch when I see a good matchup is put together. If you want to say Canelo is the face and he goes on to fight a guy nobody asked for (Charlo), no way in hell am I tuning in (I didn't see that match).

I think P4P is more fun when you have both, a popular guy and he's really good. That should really be the face of boxing. Perhaps then Canelo can be considered, but honestly, he hasn't faced a lot of guys lately that people wanted him to. I don't know, that's probably why boxing is walking around in a room with the lights off looking for the door. It's got real bad direction right now to pull in fans.

Joshua defeated more ranked guys ,more notable wins you only use rankings when it suits you . You even ran off the ring rankings topic when you brought them up how great they were except it showed Joshua was ranked higher then Wilder and Usyk over Fury , you left that one quick after talking up the ring rankings . Lol

But besides all that anyone who follows boxing closely knows you can’t compare Joshua’s wins to Wilders and only in a warped individuals mind would one try and do that . Joshua already has Parker on his resume it’s not his best win either if you think that you’re proven to be one of these warped individuals .


Wallin is a trickier opponent then Parker it’ll show the levels you choose to continually ignore on here if the opposite happens which is more likely you will see a usual Wilder fight where he struggles badly if he can’t get a quick knockout .

The blathering aside, and the long history of sop****ric posting forgiven; you may be right.

You very well may, indeed.

In 12 days, we'll know a good deal more that we do today.

Wilder's "Struggling" has, to date at least; never amouted to a hill of beans; as the clean KNOCKOUTS came.
He was never faced a man that he didn't at least fight a draw with

Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, The Klitschko Brothers, Joshua, Ruiz........cannot make that claim.

I've always said he was the biggest puncher in boxing.

Nobody regularly knocks out guys who weigh wayyyy more than him.

Nobody fights guys who weigh wayyyy more than them so how are they expected to knock them out ?

Exactly...Heavyweight is the only division where it's possible so it's not like you're on some Dog of Wisdom shiz.

You don't get a good weight to durability ration as it relates to welters to middles to light heavies and finally heavies. Once you're a certain size and hit with enough force you can ko pretty much anyone. Little manlets? generally not so much.
