Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Still Dangerous, But Joshua Would Absolutely Butcher Him

[NachoMan]

If you can get knocked down by that type of punch from a featherfisted guy, then you have no chin. Or was the simple left hook to the body that dropped Wilder a big shot?

Wilder's legs went jelly from a stiff jab for fcck sake. That boy is made out of glass. He's lucky he has fought bums with no power throughout his career. I hope he fights Dillian Whyte after Fury, so Whyte can end him with a big left hook.

I was giving you credit that you'd watched enough fights in your life to recognize what feather-fisted punches look like. Fury is ****ing 19 stone and was throwing with much different intentions than he has in the past. He would have put many more HWs on the ground than just Wilder. With regard to the body shot KD, that was just great timing by Fury. Wilder was gassed out and retreating when he took that shot. He went down from the sheer force of the shot and the fact that his legs were gone. I promise you that it had nothing to do at all with a weak chin.

You should go back and watch it again. Fury beat Wilder pillar to post with hard jabs and hurtful, well-timed power punching. Wilder doesn't have a George Foreman chin (who does?) but he's shown anything but a glass one throughout his career. How many other HWs out there would have even finished on their feet against that Tyson Fury?

I would like to see this. Whoever lands first big wins. Can't see the fight going past 3 rounds. My money would be on AJ battering Wilder and putting him down a couple of times before it's waved off but that wouldn't be with great confidence and Wilder would have more chance of detonating on AJ than Fury. Would be fun while it lasted.

[SN!PER]

This is now a GREAT fight and I really hope it happens.

If AJ thinks he can use Fury's blueprint, there's a BIG chance that Wilder catches him with something hard as he's coming in. AJ's movement is not the same as Fury's, and I strongly believe that this fight won't go the distance.

Oh really? What a neat trick? Deontay Wilder would be a very bad style matchup for AJ; Which is why his team avoided him two years. In addition, he lacks both the height, reach and chin of Tyson Fury.

[OldTerry]

So far we haven't seen a style from Joshua that would indicate that he'd be able to keep Wilder from clipping him over 12 rounds. So smart money would be on Wilder.

Truth is we might never get to find out how that fight would've played out... After Fury stops Wilder again (which is something most expect to happen), it will be very hard to make the Wilder - AJ fight. Wilder's perception of his own worth doesn't seem to go down with losses. If AJ and Wilder could not agree on the terms when Wilder was on top of the world, how will they agree after Wilder loses twice?

The biggest problem is Wilder's attitude which you alluded to. After he loses to Fury he could retire rich and with a decent legacy. If he fights on then he should fight Joshua next period. No one is really interested watching Wilder fight anyone else. Hope he understands that.

His leg went out from underneath him all right, right after he got clubbed on the head. Not sure how you can say that Wilder wasn't hurt from that punch. He was compromised from that point on in the fight.

I will tell you why because Wilder himself said he was never hurt. I either take his word for it or believe yours. Either way somebody isn’t telling the truth. Makes no difference to me in all honesty

Hmm, a fighter who gets dropped multiple times and repeatedly falls into the ropes (more KDs) says after the fight that he was never hurt. That's who you're deciding to believe??

Reminds me of the the Marlon Starling v Tomas Molinares fight way back when. Starling gets KTFO'd by a slightly late punch. Marlon was incredulous when Larry Merchant informed him that he had been KO'd. Marlon's response? "He didn't hit me. I wasn't knocked out, I wasn't (even) knocked down!"

[Noelanthony]

Wilder is a protected fraud who was always going to get destroyed by a puncher. Fury is not a puncher but adapted that style after seeing how poorly Wilder took his punches in the first fight.

Wilder only hope is to sell that Great African American Heavyweight Hope dream to his followers, a bunch of mouth breathing idiots who makes excuses for failure. Wilder truly embodies the inner city African American culture.

What black guy sat on your wife’s face? Instead of defending your honour you want to target Wilder? That won’t bring her back you weasel

So you think he is lying about the costume too?

[NachoMan]

So you think he is lying about the costume too?

I don't think he's lying about the costume. I think Wilder genuinely believes that the costume weakened him. I think he also genuinely believes that Breland got mind-controlled by Anthony Dirrell and that Fury might have been wearing some funky gloves. Wilder's ego, his entire identity is based on him believing that he was the best. His ego needs an excuse, some way to rationalize all of it. He's been physically and emotionally devastated. Right now, he is simply incapable of acknowledging (to the public at least) that he got his ass handed to him by the better man, even though, deep-down, he must realize this by now.
