Comments Thread For: Wilder To Serve as Honorary Pace Car Driver at GEICO 500

A lot of people would be surprised to know that Joshua didn't start boxing until he was 18, and Wilder didn't start until he was 19! That's why neither look spectacular compared to Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes, Foreman, Frazier, and Ali. These guys are both learning on-the-job!

Everybody knows they started late, that's never been a secret.

Congratulations on Deontay Wilder going mainstream. Good for him. He now has a sponsor.

I hope people realize Parker made more money than what Wilder was offered

So Wilder is a star now in America? They let him drive a car, he must be a national hero, right?

This is a big move for Wilder. Nascar is pretty much the 2nd sport in the south behind American Football(Which is the biggest sport pretty much everywhere).

Hearn has stated that he will not pay more than his flat fee offer of 12.5 million. Why counter-offer when Hearn isn't open to negotiation. I don't see this fight happening anytime soon. I see it playing out like this. Joshua will fight Povetkin, Wilder will fight Breazeale, and Whyte will fight Pulev. I'm leaning towards Duhaupas for the upset against Miller. Joshua/Povetkin will be a very good fight, probably 50/50. Wilder/Breazeale will be a decent fight, but i favor Wilder.

That's why I'll be watching!

Even just the last part screaming bombsquad hanging out the window would be enough enjoyment for me.

When did Wilder get into the pound-for-pound conversation? hahahahaha what a joke!

What??? Wilder weighed 214 his Last Fight.. His opponent weight 241.. so you would definitely have to calculate a persons triumph over serious adversity, with a significant weight advantage.. and knocked him out!.. and not just anyone.. a declorated amature standout with over 300 wins and 14 losses.. ortiz was undefeated from the cuban school.. secondly, being that heavyweight has no limit... so its respectable of the smaller heavyweights.. they fight serious disadvantages that people always forget about in a pound for pound convo. An if he beats joshua which he will.. he will have beaten a 250+ guy thats a undefeated champion. But even still, people like you will find something else ridiculous to whine about.. yawl butt hurt a.j fans get on my nerves..stop making up excuses for that clown.
