Comments Thread For: Washington: Wilder Will Be 'Shocked, Humbled' February 25th

[Nahshon Israel]

Tired of hearing the "test my injuries" bs for fighting another can..he's obviously been cleared by his doctors to train,spar, and fight. Never heard Tom Brady say he needed to face a "soft" defense to "test" his surgically repaired knee. Stop being such a little girl and whining about injuries!!!

Using Tom Brady and football is a horrible analogy. The quarterback is he most protected position in any professional sport, hence while they're able to play longer. If your a traditional pocket passing QB the NFL's rules are tailored for those type of QBs. That's why the likes of Manning and Brady, doesn't get hit as much as the Rodgers, Big Ben, Newton and Wilson just to name a few. Don't get me wrong Brady is one of the greatest Athelets ever. It's just not fair to compare both sports with different requirements and qualifications

Deontay could have found a better opponent to defend his title. Even if he defeats Washington (which he will), what would he achieve? Luis Ortiz was ready to step up but Mr Wilder hid behind the drug usage past.

Too bad Ortiz' promoter wasn't.

The minute Brady got hurt the league change the rule to protect the QB position even more. Horrible analogy.

just speaking of high profile athletes returning frm injury...ala JJ Watt. Is that better - A defensive lineman. Don't hear him whining about testing his injuries against "soft" competition.

Wouldn't shock me if Wilder lost. I've been saying forever I think Wilder will catch some not so elite fighter L's as his career progresses. I think he'll beat some better guys too, but for sure I could see a Washington caliber L or 3 in his future.

Those guys get a certain amount of garunteed salary. If Wilder can't fight he can't eat.

Still a horrible analogy, Watt even though he's a beast and probably the best defensive player in the league. Sits out basically the entire year, goes through rehabilitation and still gets a entire off-season and full training camp. Also Watt is not playing against top notch offensive lineman every week, even though some start, there are still talent levels and gaps.Boxing and football is totally different worlds plain and simple

Based on facts , criteria and how the sports world determines who qualifies to be considered one of the greatest ever. Then Tom Brady falls in that category hate it or love it. No matter how much we go back and forth it's not going to change the opinions of the ones who matters

Based on facts

Brady is not athletic at all.

You must be in a wheelchair.
