Comments Thread For: Wilder Feels He Can Become Bigger Than Mayweather

[nacho daddy]

I can see this happening as well. Wilder's starting to remind me a lot of Broner in a number of ways, though at least he's still somewhat likeable as a person. But his delusional predictions and growing sense of entitlement all point to a man who, sooner or later, is in for a rude awakening.

I don't care what names anyone calls me because they do that when they cant prove you wrong. this egomaniacal delusional thinking is in negroes DNA. think of the most obnoxious prick in the 3rd grade then put him in an adult body. then you have a negro athlete. but if you look back to fighters like archie moore and Floyd Patterson jersey joe Walcott ezzard Charles etc they were humble men and highly skilled so it is a modern thing

He's right. He's a American heavyweight knock out artist with ****iness and some charisma. If he becomes the real heavyweight champion, I am 100% sure he'll be more popular than Floyd Mayweather. Heavyweights are and will always be the cash division of boxing.

He best get a move on then

Floyd has possibly the smallest and most lowlife backing of any established champion boxer I can think of, because there's never been a more despisable champ as far as I know.

Renders Bum Squad's comment particularly ridiculous!

As for the quality difference, Floyd happens to have among the best resumes of any boxer of all time and is rather "infamous" worldwide, if that counts as being "big" also. And is a master boxer.

Wilder on the other hand? Has the ****tiest resume imaginable on record by a certain measure of any champ, has fought one of the bummiest list of opponents not seen since the 70's era, is hardly known yet worldwide out of boxing circles. And whilst showing potential, is still not properly proven, even after 30+ fights!

****ing Bum Squad!

Eloy prime Ali vs Wilder who do you give it to??

The Olympic bronze medal winner captured his world title in January with a twelve round decision over dangerous Bermane Stiverne at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He returns on June 13th in his first world title defense, against Eric Molina. The homecoming event is nearly sold out with 8,500 fans expected in Wilder's backyard of Birmingham, Alabama.

if he can KO Wlad or beat him DECISIVELY...then yeah but I don't see him beating Wlad though

[jas]

Not possible

[SkillspayBills]

If he beats Povetkin, Fury and klitschko then he could.

Bingo. America loves nothing more than HW's that KO people. Well, American HW's that KO people. Wilder actually has to be the goods though. Beating those 3 men is a very very tall task.

Wilder the new TBE?

GTFOH LOL.

[Eff Pandas]

Wilder seems to have little personality cuz he's going with the standard good guy route even while beating up ******ed Stan's in his gym & probably doing random dirt we'll find out about in 2 years that will probably eff up that good guy rep cuz what 20 something male making fat stacks is just going home & going to bed with his wife/gf by 9pm.

The only HW who could come close to Mayweather in boxing bigness is Tyson Fury & even he's quite a distance from Mayweather's importance if he's 2x as good as his biggest fans think when its all said & done.

I'd go along with anyone who's saying the fact Wilder's thinking about this sorta silly **** before his first title defense & proving very little yet makes his drive to achieve it probably based in fantasy more than reality. Fight some real mfers & then tell me how great you are. Right now Wilder is like a young Ali, having beaten no one of note talking about he's the greatest.

Lol, Povetkin will put him to sleep soon.

Povetkin is in for a looooooooooong night. Wilder is 5 inches taller, has a 8-9" reach advantage, has more speed and power, and has better feet and mobility. Wilder is part of the new breed of heavyweights and is likely too much for Povetkin.

Wilder can easily become bigger than Floyd. If he becomes the champ he will become one of the biggest athletes in the world..
