Comments Thread For: Wilder Makes Controversial Comment About Breazeale's Son

[Reloaded]

Boxing is meant to be a sport that teaches discipline and respect. It can really be used as a tool to get kids away from this type of thuggery.

I don't agree with things like this. I think there is a line that shouldn't be crossed and Wilder just crossed it. I don't mind fighters saying they are gona KO or hurt people, but don't bring children into it and don't say you want to cripple or kill people in front of them.

Yeah fully agree, although Wilder is not seeing where it reaches and needs to develop some public reactions smarts he not doing it on purpose, these guys need to be taught how to speak to the public like any other important figure, they bring in professionals to groom them, he is just being the macho Tyson BS of Im gunna eat your children, its all ment as verbal stand-over tactics for the other fighter, its just that often in very bad taste with no thought, they need to think about their image more than they do, its like the hype sucks them in to their ego.

Fighters need more rock solid no BS confidence like Hagler had and less Broner type BS.

I don't think any one should be media trained at all, but I agree with the other points. People can educate themselves on how to act during their life, at 33 he should know better IMO.

I actually prefer when fighters are more funny than saying things like that. You can easily trash people and get to them more by ripping them to shreds than saying things like that.... it's why I like Fury so much and even Saunders... those guys don't need to resort to that to tear people down, and it's more entertaining.
