Is Deontay Wilder the dumbest boxer ever?

I don't think Wilder is dumb.
He doesn't articulate himself very well, but when he's not playing a character he's not, he comes across to me as a normal guy. Not dumb, not smart, just normal.
However I do think he is ****** for letting Haymon and Finkel manipulate him when he didn't accept the 100 million offer. He is too emotional and they know it.Comment

Not sure how many American real boxing fans you were exposed to but every single last American fan of the sport I have known has considered Lennox among the top five best HW's in the last 30 years. Sorry to break it to you but just like I don't believe you folks represent the best in British fight fans I am sure you've run into our version of that. Lennox was loved here whether you want to accept it or not. He was admired and accepted as the champion he was and still does to this day.
The same can be said about the British press and a lot of Brits because they all wrote him off after he got knocked out by McCall. It's the reason why I laugh at some idiots who claim Lennox Lewis is their favourite boxer ever in 2019 because back then they weren't saying that.Comment

i turn his interviews off after a while, hes not dumb but a bit repetitive and has his way of articulating himself, hes a professional boxer im not sure what you are looking for when he interviews, maybe you should look up elon musk interviews, but wait....so you click on all his interviews just to cringe and get angry enough to start a thread about it?Comment

I love his dress sense, not a lot of issue with his speeches because a lot of them are rehearsed (Trying to sound like his pastor father etc), I know he isn’t highly educated so I don’t hold that against him, I think he has done well without any sort of media training, with Fury everything rolls of the tongue, with whyte he is hardcore to the max, with Joshua he has had media training since the Olympic win, so I don’t hold nothing against Wilder in that respect, he fights for a living, and his fist does the talking.... He just need to drop that whispering Shit that he does, that is cringe at best.Comment

If you ever watched interviews with him, without having to put a show for the cameras, which is what people want....he's not a scholar but he's a nice, thoughtful, and pretty intelligent guy. Personalities sell in boxing and marketing is important, being a hero and a heel depending on your stance, isn't a bad way to market yourself.Comment

It's pretty easy to lie in 2019 but back then it's an open secret that most Americans hated Lennox Lewis and he was attacked the same way AJ is being attacked today. And it didn't stop until he beat up all the overrated Americans.

Since you want to be a grammar teacher, the word or phrase "mate" is not grammatically correct, It is informal. Slang talk is not part of proper english, proper Australian. So if you knew as much as you'd thought, then you'd realize how hypocritical you sounded.
Oh and BTW I graduated from Elder HS, One of the most prestigious Private Catholic HS schools in America. Also, hold a Bachelors in Sociology from Xavier University.
Nice Try.Last edited by Boxing101_; 07-19-2019, 06:26 PM.Comment
