Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Deontay Wilder Is Not the Same Fighter He Was

[Claude Palle]

Wilder has lost confidence and punch resistance. Two things that end a career!

[hugh grant]

this proves what? Pac had wars and guess what, in his late 30s early 40s he was NOT the same fighter he was 10 years ago.

That is all hearns said about Wilder, hes not the same guy from Fury 1.

Maybe wilder not the same, as he's older now, and not necessarily because he had wars with fury. Having wars you learn a lot about yourself, and more than from having easy fights. The experience wilder and fury would get from the wars with each other.
Its like people tried taking credit away from pac beating morales and barrera by saying they had wars with each other so we're past prime? And even tried making out pac beating thurman was no big deal, as thurman didn't shine in fight prior to fighting pac, even though pac was 41?

The Wilder hate here is still atrocious.

Bermane Stiverne was a champion you **** sniffers. Instead of giving Wlad **** for allowing that to happen, the kid from Alabama gets shat on for obliterating that atrocity out of the sport. Makes a ton of sense and doesn't at all drip with anti-american and anti-black sentiment.

Stiverne was champ because he beat Arreola for a vacant belt. Not great. Once wilder had that belt he hung on to it with a bunch of easy fights. Not impressive. He wasn't a bum but he was a fringe kinda guy with high powered manufactured promoting

Pac had wars with morales, jmm so it makes you battle hardened and tested, but they don't make you past prime but wars can shorten career. But tell that to pac, who fought till 41.

Yes he is. He's just fighting better ranked opponents (in a shlt division)then got exposed. But to be fair Emperor Zhang would destroy anybody in his path.

Hes like 40. hes not the same. lennox lewis was 37 when he retired and everyone agreed he was way past it. wilder is older than this

[hugh grant]

Yes. How can be somebody ruined after 3 tough fights?

If Fury , Wilder and Hrgovic are that soft, than they are not for pro boxing.

Yes, maybe werent good in first place? Having tough fights means you are proven and battle hardened and not green. Fury hasnt even had half the fights of Pac.
Having lots of wars might shorten a career. But Fury not had many, many fights, although he is getting on in age. But youngsters like Flip should be able to comeback.

[DavidF523]

You mean not fighting the same scrubs he used to fight

*Fixed*

Wilder and Fury tried to kill each other 3 times. They were both done after that. Someone tell me something: after Wilder, AJ Fury and Usyk are done. ...what happens to HW boxing?

Wilder is exactly the same guy that fought Ortiz and Fury. Just a little older.

And please, be real, parker and Zhang are better than anybody Wilder fought in his pre-Fury era.
