Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder 'Not At All' Concerned About Inactivity, Ring Rust Entering Joseph Parker Fight

[Toffee]

If this goes 12 I'd be more surprised than if Parker won by KO.

With Parker getting tips from Fury I expect the move will be to be aggressive & try to get Deontay on the back foot where Fury had most of his success in the 2nd & 3rd fights. And that'll likely lead to a KO imo. And more likely Parker being the one KO'd. I don't think Parker is defensively responsible enough to avoid getting touched by Deontay all night if he tries to outbox him. I think it'll work for awhile but one of Deontay's advantages is his quickness & athleticism.

I can't see Parker going the Fury route. It's just never been him.

But I think he can outbox and hurt him still.

Wilder's always got a puncher's chance. It's all he ever had any time he fought someone slightly capable. It's hard to believe that puncher's chance hasn't reduced over the last few years. He's an old and inactive fighter now.

Only if you're a delusional fanboy. Parker has no power, no heart, no stamina, and no desire to win. Ever since he showed up and turtled for 12 rounds against Joshua he's just been a punching bag.

There's a classic kiwi saying that goes...yeah nah.

Yeah i hear what you're saying, but nah you got it all wrong.

Parker UD.

Wilders only chance is if Parker gets greedy with the combos and goes for a KO.

Wilder has to believe that. He doesn't have any choice.

But I reckon Parker would have been a problem for any version of Wilder. Parker is a decent heavyweight - that means he's better than anyone Wilder has beaten.

It's a proper test for Wilder. My money is on Joe. Wilder has his usual puncher's chance but I think Parker is good enough to stop him around 8.

If he can't beat Parker, rust or no rust, he should just retire from boxing forever. Parker is absolutely trash.

Im sure Wilder cracked the heavy bags ribs, concussed the pads and put a dent in the speedball's head but none of them punched back.

Its gonna be a different story when Parker lights him up with combos.

Wilder literally wont know what hit him when Malik sc****s him off the canvas.

He should be if he isn't. I give Parker a fair chance in this fight simply because Wilder is much older and has been away from the ring.
