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

[Angeljuice]

Wilder's boxing IQ is very high. He creates an optical illusion, lulling his opponents into thinking they're outsmarting him, then he knocks them out. He continues to win, and this frustrates viewers who are unable to understand his unique skill set and successful tactics.

So he is so skilled that he can make himself look like an amatuer with no boxing experience?

It is this simple;
Wilder has an overwhelming punch that can knock down anybody. He has very few skills and a poor boxing IQ.
This is evident to anybody with any real boxing knowledge. The fact that you are making excuses for his terrible style and technique says that you aren't one of those people.

Even though I believe that fury won the 1st fight convincingly , I came away with mad respect for wilder, but dude has come out with some next level crazy Ish lately.

Great fighter. Who's everyone's favorite Mexican fighter? Mine is Manny Pacquiao. The Senator of Mexico.

“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?

That still wouldn't make him African American imbecile.

I have a little bit of an internal struggle with this one. Obviously, as others have mentioned, there are guys like Crawford which possess a more well rounded skill set, which we can say are "better boxers."

But, if we consider the intent and purpose of boxing to be knocking out your opponent, which I personally hold in higher regard than "out dancing" someone for 12 rounds, then Wilder does have a valid point. Nobody does that part better.

You do have a point with that. Even though I don't really have a right to comment but I'll say he's more the most entertaining than just best boxer but that's only my opinion. 👍

Wilder absolutely triggers so many fans! It's absolutely hilarious. How dare he feel that he is the best (African American boxer)! How dare he not allow the opinions of internet trolls influence him!

[Marchegiano]

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 means he answered a question bud

This practice goes back to 540 BC. The answer is yes, definitely. AND, if you knew much about basic boxing theory, like the base game plans for a puncher and boxer respectively, you'd already know that.


It is frustrating as hell sharing a forum with so many over opinionated know-it-alls who don't actually even know the most basic and fundamental tenets of the sport, the training, or the culture.

The fact that you presented your argument as if it is not coming from assumption and misunderstanding qualifies you as the worst kind of poster on this forum. Eat a **** and try to learn some boxing while you're at it.
