Comments Thread For: Froch: Those Fights With Fury Took A lot Out of Wilder, I Think He's About Finished

[BoxOfficer]

He’s 38 years old and was out for a while before this fight. He’s not what he once was, so better to retire at this point. He may come back for a check, but he’s no longer one of the top guys in the division.

He was never a top guy to begin with. All he did was avoid tough fights.

Wilder got arrested 5 6 weeks before fight! Police could smell weed in car! Looked off his head fight night ! Sorry but maybe not living the right life

Dont really know for sure if 38 yo Deontay is finished but the gypsy trilogy def took something out of him no doubt.

A gun charge too, don't leave that out. I'm not anti gun, but whoever says, give every damn fool a gun, is crazy.

They still want to sell the narrative that he was something.

When I first said Fury was going to knock him out you told me I was crazy, Nope, the problem is that Wilder only fought tomato cans.

smoking weed would explain why he looked like like he had totally lost his killer instinct against Parker

weed makes you a warm, fuzzy person, who only wants to laugh and hugh everyone

Wilder needs his nastiness back. He should do ******* instead

Cant box, has no inside game, holds a reach advantage 99.9% of the time yet never uses it. Wilder has been blessed with marketing no other person can be so unorthodox have close calls yet do none to improve after the stiverne fight wilder should've worked on the basics and after Ortiz who was aged out schooled him, wilder should've been in boot camp on the basics yet nope

Getting beat is never a good thing. A professional beating is the worst. There's no difference to what's happening to AJ. Wallin was just a confidence builder for AJ, like Helenius was for Wilder. Eddy is making like AJ is back, but like Wilder can't get past Fury, AJ can't get past, much smaller, Usyk.

I agree never a good thing to get beat. I disagree that Wilder and AJ are the same at all. Joshua has actual boxing skills, he has power in both hands and he got up from a Wlad knockout shot and knocked Wlad out. He fought better competition than Wilder. The shot Ruiz caught him with was one of the worst shots a boxer can take....it was an equilibrium shot. AJ has a good chin, always has. When Ruiz hit him he was confused and could not recover. You could see he was shocked.

It would have been better if Ruiz had knocked him cold. Guys bounce back from those shots most of the time. AJ has been fighting with the fear of feeling that equilbrium shot again. He appears to have built his confidence back up under this training situation. Wallin, or anyone, could hit Joshua with that shot. He is showing signs of not being concerned about it. A mentally and physically healthy AJ gives Fury problems. He could KO Fury.

Wilder has always been a huge hypejob. He cannot box. He has one weapon, and any decent boxer will nullify it. Fury got careless against Wilder because he realized the guy cannot box whatsoever and so he took silly risks. Wilder sucks. Any fighter with a skill set will move away from his right and take it away from him. He is an easy win. He just fought reaallly ****ty fighters for most of his career.

Why is there so many Carl Froch headlines on here? I liked him as a boxer but as an analyst he’s a complete moron. Biased and uninformed…..
