Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: ?I lost my confidence... but it's back?

[Loveherize]

If he leans too much on just “feeling confident,” he could get caught off guard again.

How is he gonna get his confidence back if the keeps wearing women's j-e-welry??

You know he'd beat the snots out of anyone you've ever met, right? Maybe 3 at a time.

Not quite, Pillow the Wimp! I know some people that would scare the **** out of Deontay, without even throwing a punch.

The latest in a tediously long run of hapless knock overs by the Olympic bronze medalist.
Wichita, ain’t that the cow town that Wyatt Earp cleaned up, pardner?

Molina and Breazeale are both on Joshua's resume as getting title shots as well. Nobody giving Joshua any guff about that. Interesting.

NOBODY ranks them as top guys is the point.......AL'S resume sh.its on Wilder's

Not true. At all.

Fury had been back in action for two fights, in great shape, and fought the best fight of his life when he fought the undefeated Wilder in Wilder-Fury 1.
Same number of tune-ups Ali had when facing Frazier in the 1971 classic, after being inactive for a similar amount of time.

More than that, Fury was the undefeated Heavyweight Champion of the World, and Wilder wanted the most important fight out there - and that's what he got...three times.

Nothing that never champions like Ruiz, Joshua, Parker, Zhang and Ortiz ever matched in their careers.

These Joshua fans are ridiculous!

Your guy had some big audiences, won a few very good matches, wore a few plastic belts, as most contenders eventually do; but he got blasted out before he could earn a title shot.

Wilder made the most title defenses of the era's title claimants, yet never once lost in his prime (like Joshua and Parker and Ruiz and Lewis, Dubois and both Klitschko brothers did), and took on many of the same guys as his contemporaries.

That's HOW History is going to record the era.

im sure his fangirls will. He wont even sniff the hof.
Autopsy. Egg weights. Bum squad. Till this day. Till this DAY.

Noooo, not the "mom's basement" comeback! You're definitely a master troller...

Wilder doesn't speak about the elephant in the room -- all of the brutal knockouts he has suffered against Fury and Zhilei Zhang.and the punishment his brain has taken as a result. I mean he made an allegation that Fury literally put a dent in his skull and posted a photo of the dent. Fury walked to him and beat him half to death in their 2nd fight, and folded him like fresh laundry in their 3rd fight after battering him over 11 rounds of pure hell. Then Zhang just about knocked his brains out of his head . Now he's back facing a guy who has 30 fights and not a recognizable name on his resume in sight, except who he lost to. He was KO'd by Ajagba in Efe's pro debut back in 2017 in one round. In 2019 he lost to Brandon Glanton on a.DQ. And Ricardo Torrez smoked him in 2 rounds in 2023. This guy won't do much except lay down quick and give Wilder some false confidence that he's back. Then some real beat downs are waiting for him no matter which way he goes next. And some more brain cells will be knocked out of his stubborn arrogant head once again

It was a mandatory defence, so he had no option in that respect.

What puzzled me was why the WBC ordered him to fight Povetkin in the first place, when they were clearly in Haymon/PBC's pocket at that time. Maybe, for legal reasons, they were compelled to?

Correct. Wilder's mandatories weren't so much fighters that he had no option to fight, they were fighters that his team accepted.

Like I said, I don't know why that fight was ever happening. It was so far from anything else he did. Which makes it very su****ious that the fight didn't go ahead through, apparently, no fault of his own.
