Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Shoots Down Deontay Wilder's Travel Claim For Performance

[Atypicalbrit]

A few things

1. Wilder is 38, that's the sort of age where boxers are usually just about done, additionally Wilders style has never been very skillful, he relies on fast twitch responses and athleticism which is even worse when you are almost 40.

2. Wilder was coming off 2 brutal beatings, I think he has CTE, he was crying and being very strange after the helenius fight, signs of brain damage.

3. Parker was underrated. Guys like Gerald Washington, Artur Szpikka and Luis Ortiz were able to outbox Wilder for long stretches, it wasnth that unreasonable to assume Joseph parker would be able to do the same, the guy is a former champ who beat Andy Ruiz and went near 50/50 with AJ, he's a very good heavyweight.

That's all there is too it, you can add in that Parker trained with Fury who knows Wilder inside and out, and he just executed a great gameplan, there's no mystery to the fight at all.

Wilder is and always has been a lazy undisciplined fighter and that’s why he lost

[PBR Streetgang]

I hope someone checked Parker's glove for that dastardly egg weight.

Lmfao
Even for Wilder this excuse is not up to par
He’s losing his touch lol

Beat me to it. This excuse actually sounds somewhat reasonable. Regardless, given his history of being a horrendous sore loser and him genuinely believing he is the second coming of Christ, this is still another poor ass excuse. Dude blames anything and everything but himself and his lack of basic boxing skills and fundamentals. When the right doesn't land, he can't do anything else. Simple as that. My take is how this dude preaches that humble BS and is anything but that. The hypocrisy and fakeness is strong with this one.

Wilder has the mentality of loser. he better never come back. Fury really destroyed this guy.

I had to travel, what the f.uck an excuse is that?

So each time Euro guy must travel to USA for the fight and he loses, he can use that excuse?

It's crazy how one of the greatest knockout artists of all time is such a whiny ***** who can't admit when he messes up.

Some fighters need to find a reason why they lost in order to continue and the further out of their “control” the reason is the easier it is to digest their loss. It happens, athletes have to get themselves places in order to move on or hell sometimes win. Hell jordan lost money to everyone on the golf course but it was a trade for the ammo to beat your azz the next game. Ask Danny ainge about that shhh.

How do people still support this guy? I'm struggling to think of a boxer who is more out of touch with reality than Wilder.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wilder was never any good. But people here laughed at me when I told that before the second Fury fight.

Wilder is nothing, He was never any good. It Ortiz had been 5 years younger, he would have knocked him out.
