Comments Thread For: No Comment From Deontay Wilder On His Future

[TheOneAboveAll]

I hate to admit this but after a 16 year career; Wilder still remains one of the top tier heavyweights in the world today due to his name recognition alone.

He is every promoter’s dream. They can still milk his name for all its worth. Even when they know he is no longer the same fighter that he once was.

They can add him to the next 5v5 if they want but Wilder is not selling many tickets on his own going forward. Only the most disconnected casual still believes he is a player in the HW division. Wilder is as shot as can be.

Try out Bridgerweight or retire.

Wilder is 1-4 in his last 5 and his win was against an absolute no hoper in Helenius.

And he hasn't shown any desire since, you'd have to be one of them SLDBC guys to believe Wilder has anything left or that he's even domestic level let alone world..

I will never understand why he hired Malik Scott as his trainer. He could have went with anyone else or simply stayed with who he had. He was never the same after that switch. Also as he stepped up in competition you could tell how the ability to set up his right was non-existent, which is why he could not do much against Parker, Zhang and to an extent Fury.

Meh......
I remember all the "love" fight fans had for Wilder when he said he wanted an actual dead body on his resume.
Now he's a sympathetic guy.

I happen to think he's acted like a complete idiot many times, but that doesn't mean he's done anything that I know of where I would wish him brain damage. I still respect what he accomplished, especially after starting at such a late age. Regardless of what nonsense (he's not Shakespeare in case you haven't noticed) he's said in the lead up to a fight, I can promise you he would not have wanted to live with having killed someone in the ring. Look up those who have. I hope he's been smart with his money. 8 kids and 4 baby mamas...that's a lot of mouths to feed and palms to grease and certainly a possible reason to fight way past your prime and take unnecessary punishment.

I agree. However, Wilder is still more famous in the U.K. Than he ever was or shall be in The U..S. Due to his trilogy with Tyson Fury.

Their trilogy helped boost both of their profiles. That is the reason why Tyson Fury is so popular.in the U.K today. He was never the box office draw he is now before Wilder.

Also, it’s the reason why he is even more popular than Anthony Joshua in the U.K. Due to his trilogy with Deontay Wilder.

Lastly, if Eddie Hearn was to announced a Deontay Wilder vs an Anthony Joshua fight today at Wembley.

Then it would sell out in just a matter of hours and shatter box office records everywhere.

His health is good, reached the goal to become champion and is financially loaded. I hope he walks away and enjoy life with his wife and two kids.

Make that 4 baby mamas and 8 kids (he said he'd like to have 50 if he could find the women-no I'm not kidding).

You are one slow, stupid and ignorant dumb ass! Learn how to comprehend you fucking Idiot!

I know that Wilder is now a broken and ruined fighter who is a shell of his former self and needs to retire. I’ve already conceded as such many times since Saturday.

All I am saying is that it won’t deter promoters and managers alike; From cashing him out and Milking him dry due to his name recognition.

Deontay Wilder would be a huge feather in any fighter’s hat due to his name; Especially the young prospects.

Even though, Deontay Wilder is now a gatekeeper status; It still won’t prevent promoters from sending him offers.

They would be more than happy to use Wilder’s name as a stepping stone for one of their young fighter’s resume’

The Wilder family should plead with him to retire! They should watch interviews of Rid**** Bowe, Meldrick Taylor, Terry Norris etc. He took 2 brutal beatings to Fury and then received a severe knock out to Zang. I could not believe he got up from that shot! His head bounced off the canvas. He has children to think about.

No one is slow or stupíd apart from you, you're just terrible at forming a coherent sentence similar in fact to Wilder and can't think critically either.

What promoter dreams of promoting a guy who has last 80% of his recent fights, hasn't even been remotely competitive in them and even his ret@rded fan base has turned on him, who support solely based on race, so them turning on him tells you all you need to know.

He's not a huge feather in anyone's cap, he's a bum (and I don't ever call fighters bums) who's lost every single fight against guys with a modicum of skill, half the talk about Wilder lately is discrediting him as a win for Fury when he was an undefeated "monster", how he avoided AJ and Whyte.

And how he didn't start fighting a string of heavyweights until his 30th fight and his first real step up was against the cruiserweight Liakhovich in his 29th fight.

Where you get this idea promoters dream of him is beyond me, he doesn't sell out in his own backyard and there is no intrigue in the man anymore.

Even your idiotic joke response to the other guy about him being selling out Wembley with Joshua is laughable, firstly most people think Wilder is a joke over here and secondly AJs own popularity is waning and it almost entirely hinges on him not Wilder to sell out.

Also Fury popularity doesn't convert to PPV buys because most of his fanbase is dole dossers ironically, so if any of them converted to Wilder it's of no benefit to him.

Also he's (Fury) never even sold 1M PPV buys in the UK market making him significantly less popular than David Haye, so the popularity you think he has, it's an illusion.
