Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Unloads Kitchen To Stop Game Duhaupas

[Ravens Fan]

Sanders had 3 rounds over 2 years, and was challenging for Klitschko's WBO title. Tonight was the same scenario as Klitschko-Sanders, except Wilder was fighting a guy who had been in the ring recently. The only real difference is that the game underdog that challenged Wilder didn't turn Wilder's lights out. Based on untruths my ass. Klitschko picked out a no hoper and got caught. Stop with the BS.

You'd be better off just admitting that a motivated heavyweight fighter can be a dangerous opponent for anyone. Rahman wasn't supposed to beat Lewis. Douglas wasn't supposed to beat Tyson. Sanders definitely wasn't supposed to beat Klitschko. It's a part of the fight game. As you said, we all have our own opinions, but yours is based on hate. Fighters don't start off great. Let the man do his work.

Wlad got caught cold by a pretty heavy handed fighter, 5hit happens. After Stiverne Wilder's level of opponents hasn't gone up much and he is actually regressing. If I was a fan of his I would be at least slightly concerned.

he made this guy look like an unknown journeyman.

which was what he was. povetkin will take wilders head off

You can't deny that Wilder does have some talent, solid jab and a wicked right hand. However, is he the next great heavyweight? No, to put it into perspective he is just an exciting fighter, kind of reminds me of Michael Grant in his prime. People talking about Klitschko losing to Sanders that was over a DECADE ago and at least Sanders was ranked in the top 10 and I am pretty sure Duhaupas nor Molina are ranked anywhere near there. I wish Deontay the best but if he doesn't work on not backing up with his head straight up, than other top heavyweights will exploit that. I don't think Duhapas was a good opponent to prepare for Sasha, he should have fought Amir Mansour; similar style and height.

Following Sanders' win over Otis Tisdale (who was 21-7), he had a world rank of 334. He was definitely not ranked top 10 by any major organization, and only had 3 total rounds over 2 years against no hopers. Duhaupas is top 40. Not near the top of the food chain, but leagues better than Sanders.

I find it funny that some of the people dismissing Wilder as average are some of the same people that dismissed Klitschko all those years ago, after literal nobody Corrie Sanders dispatched him. He was a big guy with a bunch of flaws, but over time has become one of the greatest champions we've seen in some time. It's like people don't know that fighters don't start off great lol

This guy Wilder struggles with bums. Who's the next tomato can, some name we never heard of and not ranked that's for sure

[beez721]

So you don't have an argument? Oh, OK

Sanders was a slow footed plodder with 1 gear that ripped Wlad's soul out so grotesquely that the poor guy never even asked for a rematch, Breidis Prescott style

sanders threw awckward punches thru a southpaw stance and wlad had no defensive aware back then. wilder would be blasted out in 4 rounds by povetkin let alone wlad unless he really improves by then. hes a kayo loss waiting to happen

Is this the American HW hope?

If you look at the rest of the top heavyweights, no one is exactly fighting killers. Supposed Wilder Killer Povetkin's next fight is against Mariusz Wach, a guy ranked even lower than Duhaupas

who cares. wlads a totally different fighter since then and wilder doesnt have that southpaw awckwardness working for him. hes not getting past povetkin let alone wlad. wayyy too many defensive flaws

Klitschko was a 7 year pro making the 6th defense of his belt, but it's OK to him to lose to a guy ranked #334, and not OK for Wilder to have a rough night out against a guy ranked top 40 because... excuses :/

That's the point. Klitschko grew as a fighter. Remember when he had "wayyy too many defensive flaws?" At the time of him losing to Sanders, he was a 7 year pro. Wilder is a 7 year pro tonight and just recently reached world level. Instead of writing the guy off, how about giving him some time to grow? You don't know what Wilder's future holds. If it were up to guys like you, we would have written Klitschko off long ago like you're trying to do to Wilder now :/
