Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Believes Arreola Fight Will Happen

Wilder has a loooooooonnnnggggg way to go

You all are crazy. I'm not necessarily buying in to Wilder as the next champ of the world, but Arreola is some ****. Wilder would smash him. The whole division is some ****. Wilder's size and power is enough for me to pick him by ko with no problem over the likes of Arreola, Fury, Stiverne, Boystov, Chagaev, Helenius... Yes he has fought no one in the "top 20" but I have no doubt he smashes Arreola and Stiverne should it play out like that.

FIRTHA smashed Wider and disoriented him. Arreola will kill him.

I think Stiverne would be a tougher test for Wilder than Arreola, simply because Stiverne is a good boxer and keeps improving as a boxer. But in reality, neither fight would be easy for Wilder. One thing for certain though, either way, either fight would definitely be fan friendly.

I see it the other way. To beat a guy with stiff legs and bad balance, you want to have them fighting on their back heel and backing up. With Stiverne, he is a counter puncher who lays on the ropes and that gives a guy like Wilder breathing and punching room. But I still see Stiverne catching the wooden man at some point and stopping him. Arreola would walk him down and get him out early. Wilder would be looking like a new born deer with his legs trying to pick his giant ass wooden self off the ground.

If Firtha smashed and disoriented him, wouldn't he have finished him off?

Either Wilder has an extraordinary ability to recover from punishment, or Firtha didn't really hurt Wilder at all.

Or...Answer number three, these guys absolutely positively were high when they watched the fight

but most likely answer number 4 these guys hate Wilder so much that they started making up sh#t. That jab was more of an off balance slip than anything. Wilder was not hurt, staggered, in danger, wobbled, punished, hit hard, almost finished, or any of this nonsense that these posters are making up. It was half of a second at most. Wilder haters have taken over exaggerating to an unbelievable new level. They are looking for anything to discredit him now. They complain if he gets a push, they complain if he fights a can. He stops Arreola and Stiverne and then his haters complain about how they both were past their prime.

The money men behind Wilder bought him a top 15 ranking so he could fight for the title. If he won it, they would do the same thing for any bum they wanted him to defend against. That's what I'm worried about.

His chin is very suspect. Firtha staggered him with a left jab!
I know Firtha had Fury staggering too, but that was from a big booming right hand, not a freaking jab.

No money in the world would let guys like Harrison, Liakhovich, or Matthew Greer fight for titles. Nobody bought him a top 15 spot, It's time. 30 ko's in 30 fights. He HAS to fight in the top 15 now. Everyone complains about him not stepping up, now that he does....?

Stiverne's resume isn't that much better than Wilders'. Besides beating Arreola, maybe, just maybe Ray Austin? Stiverne hasn't beat ANYBODY, I mean ANYBODY. Nothing about his skill set says that he would even be the favorite against Wilder. Same for Arreola he only fought three elite fighters in his career and lost to all three. In the battle of padded record vs padded record vs padded record I think Wilders comes out on top.
