Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Hungers To Become The Face of Boxing

[Elroy1]

IŽll just go on the record here: right now Wilder is just a can crusher, but beating Povetkin would make him a legit title holder and #2 HW in the world. Beating Wlad would make him the Baddest Man On The Planet. Good enough?

That's good enough for me mate and I'll second it too!!

If Wilder can thrash Povetkin, he's number 2, Wlad, number 1.

Hell I will rank him accordingly to the level of competition he faces, frankly, he is set to prove himself against what, number #45?

But until he does any of that, like this guy's said, he is merely in the "recycling" business, squashing cans!

....by facing Eric Molina

This guys a joke

Everyone thinks they are Floyd mayweather

Floyd didn't start cherrypicking until he became a ppv star

Now you have Danny Garcia who has a gift fight against Herrera then takes salka

When Floyd had a controversial fight vs jlc which I thought he won, he went right back in vs him

Floyd fought tough competition

These clowns now don't even compare and casual fans are now well-informed enough to not watch mismatches.

I'm a fan but sheeeeeeeeit. You're facing a guy Arreola KO1'd not that long ago. This isn't the way. This is the opposite of how to do that.

if he were to beat povetkin and wlad there'd be no denying him but it aint happenin

I'm still not sold on Wilder's overall technique. I think he's a ridiculously gifted athlete, but every time I see him fight, the way he spreads out his stance always looks odd. I think he might have some balance issues that could be exploited by the right opponent. Or maybe his legs are just so long that it's an optical illusion..?

[yoshik]

Not....

Wilder doesn't make it past Povetkin. In fact I see a horrendous KO for Povetkin.

[Chrismart]

He won't become the face of Boxing fighting guys like Molina.

It's a thin division, so if he wants to be up there with the big names in the sport..he's going to have to face and beat all the other name HW's. Fury, Wlad, Joshua.

[The Big Dunn]

If Deontay went about cleaning out the division, Fury (in NYC or Vegas), Povetkin (NYC or Vegas) then Wlad (MSG or Cowboys Stadium), he has a very good chance of replacing Floyd as the face of the sport.

But when you decide to follow up Stivernne by fighting a Molina in ALabama, you are not going to draw interest outside of boxing, which doesn't raise your profile outside of the sport.

[Luilun]

Fighting bums like Molina will never make you the face of boxing Maywether though I don't like fought World Champs if he fought your Type of Opponents he'd still be 48 and 0 but with 48 knock outs
