My Take On Wilder's "Catch A Body" Statement

[Madison Boxing]

Idk why people are acting shocked by this.

Tyson has said this before. I'm sure plenty of others have to.

And this was retired Tyson talking. I believe he told Razor Ruddock directly "it don't count if he's not dead" or something like that. And I'm sure there are more examples.

So a convicted rapist said something similar so that makes wilders comments less shocking?

If you are trying to defend this thick ****** trash's comments then we know what you are. Just a pathetic wilder d! ck rider.

It was a disgusting comment. **** it im gonna say it , if it was a guy of a different race saying it you lot wouldn't be defending it. Can u imagine if golovkin said it??? You'd all be slaughtering him and you damn well know it.

I didn't play the race card. but you just did.

well... show me the outrage when Kovalev said he wanted to end Ward's career? did anybody even make a fuss about that? so your racial theory goes out the window right there. did Kovalev get "slaughtered" for it? think about it.

add to the fact that...wilder was on a "hip hop" radio station was he not? the term "catch a body" is probably referenced several times a day....or is implied through other words....he was just playing to the culture he was sitting in front of...the audience

Good post, he grew up in the Hip Hop culture.Where every aspect of the street life is glorified.Pretty much he went full WWE promo and it backfired on him.

Remember Brits drink tea with their pinky’s in the air and their legs crossed and they stop fights before anyone can truely get knocked out it’s a soft nation.

He wasn't a rapist when he said that sh^t to Razor Ruddock.

And like I said there are probably a hundred guys who've said sh^t like this although admittedly I couldn't name them cuz I don't pay THAT much attention to the pre-fight sh^t talk & things guys say. I'm in this for the fights not the talking.

Wilder was never told any better. Doesn't mean he can say ****** stuff like that, he's professional and just making a fool of himself.

The fact that you even think them two comments are comparable tells me something....

Yeah we are a nation of *****s for not wanting someone to die in the ring. And I'm pretty sure there was extra long recovery times in wilder v Ortiz because they were careful about avoiding tragedies , but yeah it's a British thing though...

[AJ24]

I see why he's saying it. Attention. But you got to draw a line somewhere, especially given the recent tragedies in the sport. Classless statement, and I like Wilder.
