Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: If I Wasn't Black - I'd Get More U.S. Media Respect

If he wasn't black he would get even less coverage. Fighting nothing but unranked bums and yelling out bomb squad when you should be yelling out bum squad isn't going to get you a lot of media coverage except from the casual fan who doesn't understand that you are fighting bums, they think you are doing nothing wrong.

Then why do you like lil g so much?

You just said it but missed it....Why does golovkin get praised like he is an all time great if he is just like D.Wilder but D.Wilder gets no love?

That's the hypocrisy. Some even got mad at me for comparing him to Wilder. Hahaha...

Crazy. David Leminux is better than all the bums wilder fought. And that's just one guy GGG fought. Let's not forget David was a belt holder when they fought also.

i forgot that joshua was white and that's why he is filling up football stadiums every time he fights. if he was black nobody would give a fuck about him just like poor little wilder

lol someone tell this guy ***** got way more media respect than trump

and most the people in the crowd that watch him fight in alabama are white

[soul_survivor]

wth???

The biggest American sport celebrities are black, the biggest music celebs are also black. Wilder needs to stop *****ing and actually fight someone of note. To think about 2 years ago I actually used to like this little rat.

the race card again..man fight credible guys and get your respect..not bums.. it took his counterpart across the pond anthony joshua18 fights to step up..he hasn't stepped up in almost 40 fights and he wants more respect..that's weak..weak mentality.. fight some one notable or keep fighting cab drivers like you always do..and get little to no respect!

Pretty disrespectful of Wilder to use the race card when past greats like Johnson, Louis and Ali had to deal with far worse. Those that have come before him battled to break down those barriers and he's here still complaining about race when all the biggest stars in US sports are black. Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather, LeBron James, Serena Williams etc.

I'm sure they all had to deal with some aspects of racism during their career but they never used that as an excuse to prevent them from succeeding.

If his resume was stacked with good names over the last 9 years, then I might say he has a point but almost 40 fights and he took minimal risk. Now he wants to blame it on his skin colour.....BS

If he took any calculated risk, for example pursue and fight Wlad 2/3 years ago and beat him, he would be where Joshua is now 2/3 years ago.

Yes I understand he has been unlucky with injury and opponents testing dirty but that doesn't excuse 9 years of no names.
