Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder invited to bridgerweight to face Kevin Lerena for WBC title

Unless you're hard up for cash, don't do it Deontay. This is only a step backwards and a loss at BW will be the end of his chapter. Take an easy fight at HW and call it a career.

In an era when us fans are sick and disgusted over the zillion weight divisions and dozens and dozens of champions what do these bozos go and do? Let's just add yet another division and another titlist because somehow this equates to more $$$ somehow. It's ridiculous. I wish all of these fighters, managers, promoters, and most of all the fans would put their foot down and boycott anything to do with this kind of bull****. I wish the fighters, in unison, would all refuse to pay the 3% sanctioning fee across the board forcing these yahoos to merge and make one champion so we can do away with this idiotic notion of "co-best". Imagine having four different world series champions or four super bowl champions. It's all so absurd.

I wonder what position Al let Sulaiman fcuk him to get this for Beyonce lol

This would be an ideal fight for Wilder to not only get a win but to be seen wearing championship gold again. Winning a title would once again elevate him in the eyes of the public and he would be in position to garner interest for another high profile fight almost instantly. The problem is that Wilder just doesn’t seem to have the mindset he did when he was knocking people out left and right. He started using psychedelics and his whole outlook changed. Let’s be honest. Wilder is for the most part a one dimensional fighter. His raw power meant he was pushing bigger guys back because they knew and felt that a knockout punch was coming. But he just doesn’t have that killer instinct anymore. We can hype this up and I would tune in. But deep down it feels like it’ll just be smoke and mirrors. I think we’ve seen the best of Wilder. Do I want to be wrong? Heck yeah.

lmfao.....bridgerweight is a fake division that nobody but that fat mufu.kin greedy bas.tard Sulaiman takes seriously.

Wilder is used to fighting slower guys. It could be a mistake to fight somebody quicker. I've never seen Lerena fight, though.

What do you mean , you've never seen the Undisputed Bridgerweight Champeen of The World fight ? Do you even watch boxing , casual ?

I wouldn't want to say wilder was exposed, as he nearly had fury out in 1st and 3rd fights. But unless he becomes a Willie pep or floyd and Pernell he is finished at top level.
But he's entitled to make money and retire when he wants, but must be realistic about what he wants!
Maybe a Josh fight still

Emperor Zhang effectively closed the door on me ever wanting to see Wilder again.

Dude should enjoy his millions and his shrooms away from the ring.

[El_Mero]

Deontay Wilder has been knocked out by Zhang, Fury twice, and rocked severely by Ortiz twice.
He should retire from contact sports altogether, that way he can enjoy his money, family, and health, he's earned it!

You forgot to add....treated like a punching bag by Parker
