Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I'm The Best African-American Boxer Right Now

[champion4ever]

What he probably meant to say is is that he is the most exciting, crowd pleasing and fan friendly African American boxer today, since Mike Tyson because he is a heavyweight slugger with one punch knockout power.

lolol. Anthony Joshua isnt African-American



And Wilder is behind TC and Spence

No Joshua is not, he may be of African descent but not born or naturalized American.

This is weird. So he says he is the best African-American boxer. Why not say that he is the best American boxer period? Does that mean there's a non-African origin American boxer out there that is better than Wilder, and Wilder recognizes that??

It's seems to be obvious he WAS asked the question in the way he answered it. The interviewer ask him if he felt he was the best African American boxer. What? U think he just came and said he was because it's black history month??

What is with this "you gotta love your own" crap. This is what leads to division, not unity

I'm supporting anyone who in my opinion is a decent human being irregardless of race, religion, nationality.

Thanks for keeping it real bro.

That is because you are a quite open minded dude.

Sad to see high paid athletes from a modern countrly like the US thinking like such uneducated twats.

Underrated comment but I'll take it a step further, why not just say "you're the best boxer" period regardless of nationality or race.

Probably because everyone in the world will think he is a massive tool, if he does.

I think Wilder can help himself here by sticking to what he knows; knocking people out, not trying to become a member of MENSA.

Hell nah.... Cuz then he wouldn't even be close and would really sound ******

Sort of. No other African American could beat him.

“In my opinion, I will say yes. It’s me [as the best active African-American fighter]. I believe in myself, strongly. While I’m the heavyweight champion of the world, I display this to people. I lead by example,” said Wilder, separating himself from a skilled and select group that includes the likes of Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr, Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, Jermell and Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade, Gary Russell Jr., Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney."

The writer thinks Joshua is African American?

There are some absolutely horrible writers contributing here. Unprofessional and unqualified. There is no excuse for making a mistake like that.
