    Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I Think We've Seen The Best Of Deontay Wilder

    For someone who prides himself on being unpredictable, Tyson Fury is convinced he has already figured out his upcoming opponent. Of course, it helps that he's already had a clean look at Deontay Wilder, who he faces this weekend at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (Saturday, Pay-Per-View, 9:00pm ET). Their heavyweight title fight rematch takes place nearly 15 months after their first fight, which ended in a 12-round draw.

    ... “History tells our story, so Deontay Wilder is at the pinnacle of his career,” believes Fury. “The only place he can go now, he can either extend that pinnacle or he can slide down."

    ... OK...

        While most boxers hit their prime around 27 or 28, I agree with Fury that Wilder is in his prime now. But I dont believe he is at the pinnacle of his prime. Though he may be close to it. Wilder started boxing at 21, and there really is a phenomena of in ring age, and I think right now, Wilder can be compared to a 29 to 30 year old boxer. Which means I believe he will peak within the next two years, and then begin that inevitable decline, which can be a quick decline for most Heavyweights. But who really knows, this is not exactly a science - and most primes are attributed to a fighter when he begins to defeat top opponents, which for most fighters is in there late 20's, for Wilder due to his late start, began in his 30's.

          What?

          Its a fair point, he’s insinuating he doesn’t think Wilder can improve in this fight. He’ll either stay at the level he is or go down hill.

          The problem with some articles is they don’t provide context. It’s not some random comment. I heard him say it in an interview where they asked if it’ll be a better wilder

            ... I quoted it precisely because it's a fair point...

              Wilder makes a mockery of boxing. Probably got the least amount of boxing ability of any champ in eons but goddamn he got the equalizer of equalizers. It wins fights and that's what counts. I'd love to see Kownacki rushing him and seeing how he handles that.

                  Nonsense. He's been mastering the Ali Shuffle and the shoe-shine.

                    That's a fair assessment by Tyson

                    BUT IF WILDER IS JUST A POWERFUL RIGHT HAND AND POWER IS THE LAST THING TO GO WHO KNOWS HOW LONG DEONTAY CAN SUSTAIN PRIME.
