Deontay Wilder needs to bring back Mark Breland

He needs to call out Jake Paul at Bridgerweight

Deontay the wise Wilder should definitely forgive Breland for poisoning him and not checking Fury’s gloves properly. He still can’t deal with that betrayal that’s why he’s been fighting below his best. Time to forgive him.

No, Deontay Wilder as a fighter does not need to think too much 'We saw that during his time with Malik Scott. Now? Scott is a solid trainer, but in my opinion he seemed to convince Wilder that was a skill for skill fighter. That was my perception of his training, and how Wilder was performing during the workouts which I saw'.

What Deontay Wilder needs at this stage of his career is 'Familiarity, consistency and simplicity. That is why I personally like that Jay Deas is still working with Wilder, and is a factor in the training team'.

Wilder's entire game is centred around his power 'And the certainty which he has in his own power. Deontay Wilder at his peak, believed that he was one of the most powerful sentient beings in the combat sports world. That is where he derived his power and game from, which is different from his other competitors'.

Tyson Fury whether he was in condition, or not 'Seemed to always have a very high innate belief in his ability and game. Anthony Joshua was the type of fighter, who derived his game from experiencing and consistently executing systematic training sessions. Joshua gains believe in his game from his own work ethic, the more time he has to focus on training? That is where in my opinion he creates most of his momentum'.

Note: So as you can see? Each of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this era 'Are all different types of athletes, with varying approaches to the sport. Although they are all different, Wilder and Joshua are actually the most alike, as they both have the best work ethic over Tyson Fury'.

I would not rate Deontay Wilder's work ethic, anywhere near the level of Anthony Joshua's 'But when you really analyse this Heavyweight era, Wilder has been one of the better conditioned Heavyweights of this entire era. Just like Joshua, Wilder has never lost a fight due to his conditioning and not preparing for battle'.

Therefore in my opinion, Deontay Wilder at this stage of his career 'Just needs consistent training and coaching sessions, where the information he is being taught? He can comprehend and then execute both in the gymnasium and on fight night'.

Malik Scott may have been bombarding Wilder's head with too much information 'If I have one criticism of his, then that is it'.

To conclude: Deontay Wilder may not be a super talent fighter technically 'But he was the 2008 Olympic Bronze medallist. He also does have a solid jab, and at the very least can throw a solid Jab followed by the back hand. Wilder does have attributes and ability which a coach can work with, just like Anthony Joshua'.

But the difference between Wilder and Joshua is? One of Anthony Joshua's best attributes as a fighter, is his near psychopathic work ethic and ability to absorb and utilize information. This has been proven throughout his entire career, winning the Olympic title in a unprecedented time frame. And then beating Wladimir Kiltschko in the greatest heavyweight title fight of the past 25 years, in his 19th professional fight'.

I don't think Deontay Wilder has that level of game 'But I will say this? I don't think Wilder is utilizing all of his attributes to his best ability. At this stage of Deontay Wilder's career he just needs to refine what is other there, and then execute his power on fight night' etc.

I generally just cruise on past any poster's musings about doping, ducking and fixed fights, because, well; this is a boxing message board, and not the honors class.

Malik Scott was a 36-1-1 (13) fringe contender, aged 33, when he challenged fellow upcommer and Olympic medalist Wilder in March, 2014.

He'd beaten a fairly respectable Lyle McDowell, the former IBO Intercontinental Heavyweight champion, tough 33-8-1 gatekeeper David Bostice, typical Wladimir Klitschko era title challenger Charles Shufford, who'd burst the Lamon Brewster bubble, 22-1-0 fellow 2012 prospect Bowie Tupou, big punching Raphael Butler, and drew with fellow fringe contender Vyacheslav Glazkov, who's knee injury, the only loss of his career, gave Charles Martin the IBF title, paving the way for Anthony Joshua to become a world champion of sorts.

Before Wilder got to him, his only loss was to erstwhile Brit Derrick Chisora for the vacant WBO international heavyweight title, while Del Boy was peaking.
But Wilder beat him ever so much more convincingly.


After Wilder laid him out, Scott would go on the beat two more standard Klitschko title challengers Alex Leapai and Tony Thompson before packing it in.

Boxing is not "sports entertainment" people, and a "dive" in a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the United States, where Wilder vs. Scott took place (Puerto Rico); and such actions will lead to criminal charges including fraud, theft, and conspiracy, and potentially will result in stiff prison sentences.


Come on guys.

Problem is he went down from a punch that didn't even hit him. Was he struck by a sudden bout of narcolepsy? There isn't much focus on prosecuting those crimes. There's always enough plausible deniability but there's a reason wilder fought all pbc guys during his bum parade. Easier to control the conditions in wilders favor. Not saying other guys took dives like Scott but I'm sure it was encouraged tacidly.
