Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I'll Be Back, And If Not, Then It's Been a Pleasure

[megh50]

He has a 28 percent ko ratio against top 10 ranked opponents. He was not a ko artist. He just kod a bunch of weak opponents but boxingscenes motto has always been its easy to ko bums cause it's true. Wilders weakness was apparently good opponents which is why they tried to avoid them

How do you figure 28% against the top 10 when he’s only lost against two men in 4 fights? Stiverne, Fury and Parker were the top 10 fighters he fought in those fights and he’s knocked out 1 of 3 which is 33% of former champions he fought. The only man he hasn’t knocked down is Parker at the tail end at 38.

The following fighters were top 10 when he fought them
1. Ortiz
2. Splika
3. Stiverne
4. Washington
5. Laikovich
6. Helenius
7. Duhaupas
8. Kelvin Price
9. Chris Areola
10. Eric Molina

All top 10 at the time.

They were top 10 by the Ring ? Bull.****. I don`t care about WBC rankings.

No he was the biggest puncher in boxing history...kod one fighter in the top 10 his entire career...scary how people can fall for hype so easily. A warning to us all

Well said, bro. I am a big fan of the sweet science but Wilder doesn't have what makes me to watch the sport, his total lack of skills other than his right hand is the main reason. There's a reason why he has never been a draw in his own country despite his enormous ko percent ratio.

You'll be back... Back to Alabama....

His team and him should've had a a better plan than set up the right hand. No plan B or C.

But he did score some highlight reel knockouts in a decent career. No one will forget the first and third fight of the Fury trilogy.

AJ has worked to get himself back on track while Wilder has been twerking with Scott, waiting to cash out. I have no problem seeing them fight but Wilder has to work his way back. Give him a real tune-up and Ruiz after, no skipping the line anymore, hoping he can catch AJ with one punch and get back in the picture. The two best fighters he fought beat him convincingly. Ortiz is an LDBC creation. He was never considered the best HW to come out of Cuba and he doesn't even have the amateur pedigree.

The last thing to go left.

Did Fury take his soul? Or was there always zero adjustement ability?

The Bronze Bomber wasn't given much chance to land and looked slow and jaded , I doubt he'll be back , he's old, knocking on forty and made a fortune and seems at piece with himself.At one time he had them all making excuses and running for cover . Good luck to him , a boxing success story.

You can't retire yet deontay. Your legacy will be to be seen as one of hardest punchers ever. You first need to ko a man with renowned chin. Mercers retired.
So deontay v jarrel Miller is next
