Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Returns Heavyweight Gold To America

Well since Vitali isn't actually doing anything in the Ukraine. (You guys do know he's not running for any office or helping the cause right? We are all clear on this.) maybe it's safe to say that now that there is a legit America threat, Vitali thought it would safer to pretend to be political figure and give up the belt, rather than getting slaughtered for it.

Vitali is the mayor of Kiev bro, kiev is the new york or LA of america

I was surprised to see Wilder win the way he did. I had picked Stiverne. Gotta give the bronze bomber his props. Cong**** champ.

Lol!

Let's be honest here guys! Now that haymon has his hands on the first American heavy, he's gonna milk the American public for every penny he can, kind of like mayweather... Or did anyone else notice how showtime didn't even bother asking about a unification.. Or Wilder calling wladimir

Very very good.

I'll be honest right off the pit.

What excuses will this new American "champ" use to avoid the most dangerous and real CHAMP of the Heavyweight division?

People calling him legit when the consensus is the Heavyweight is loaded of 90% fat bastards and 9.9% pretenders and hype jobs while the true 0.1% the US media ignores.

Come back to me when that new chump boxer actually steps in the ring against the reigning undisputed Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Wlad's people announced today that he's fighting Jennings next: not necessarily the best possible opponent but a contender nonetheless, so no problem there.

But they also announced they have booked an arena in Germany for September to fight Shannon Briggs, a sadly faded guy who ran off a few wins in 2014 - but the best win was against a guy who was like 34-8-1 who had lost three of his last six. So a joke of a fight, really.

That would seem to fill Klitschko's dance card for the rest of 2015. The earliest Wilder could fight him with that schedule would be 2016. It's up to Wilder to hold onto the belt and grow into the title and make that happen, but he can't duck a guy who has already scheduled himself out for the rest of the year without so much as a phone call to talk unification.

If Wilder could get through maybe an easy first defense and then someone like Tyson Fury, a unification would be the biggest heavyweight showdown in recent memory.
