Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: It Looked to Me that Wilder Wasn't Focused [Against Parker]; He Lost His Spark

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Heavyweight great Lennox Lewis was greatly disappointed by Deontay Wilder's latest effort in the ring. Wilder, the dangerous puncher from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, lost a wide unanimous decision to fellow former titlist Joseph Parker in their heavyweight bout last month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in what was one of the more surprising upsets of the past year.

Does Lennox Lewis really believe Wilder can develop and implement a, "Great hook and a great uppercut," at this point?

Wilder looked awful because that's what he is. Very limited fighter, with a decent right hand that has been overblown by the media and the false illusions created by a lot of set up fights against PBC patsies. Wilder is a fraud and always was a fraud. His spirit is dead, he's had enough of being a phony scripted pretender. He's at the end of his fraud career and had to fight for real this time to get the Saudi payday, and guess what, he showed he can't fight against a real fighter. Wilder failed. The whole scam would have worked if he could have beaten Fury but those losses ended the charade.

Lennox had to shill for Wilder to keep those PBC broadcasting checks coming in. )

"Well, he's bleeding from the nose, so he definitely got hit in the nose". -Lennox.

I can't tell how many times I cringed during fights listening to Lennox commentate.

I thought Wilder's ringwalk costume drained his legs, that crown looked heavy.

That and the Maori voodoo hex Joseph Parker put on him. Not to mention Parker loading his gloves with fists.

It's time the authorities started checking fighters gloves and allowing someone from the opposing fighters team to watch the handwraps.

I dont think theres any guarantee Wilder would have beaten Parker 5 years ago either. Its not like Parker is incredible or anything but he is a top 3 career opponent for Wilder and has always had the durability, skill and speed to cause any version of Wilder problems.

Honestly he's been fighting this way for some years. He hangs around throwing potshots, waiting for his opponent to give him an opportunity. Parker stayed focused, didn't give Wilder many opportunities and Wilder didn't make any for himself.

I'm sceptical about the heavy crown theory -- those legs are so strong and sturdy

Lennox Lewis is right on the mark. For those who can actually think for themselves and are not easily swayed by false narratives and blatant (obvious) lies, Lennox Lewis's views were confirmed by Wilder in Wilder's latest interview: his timing was off, he lost his killer instinct and he believes he'll eventually get it back. However, the BUSINESS of boxing prevented him from being active most of last year and the Saudi event was an opportunity he couldn't pass up, knowing that he needed a full training camp to get his timing back, but still open to the challenge of fighting someone who WAS very active.
