Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder To Visit George Foreman Before Camp For Third Fury Fight

[MisanthropicNY]

He needs to go lighter on the racism. Guy is a fraud who made black people in America look even more pathetic .

Wilder is definitely the World Heavyweight Champion of race-baiting. I can't argue with that.

“He was telling me how he wanted to show me some methods of strengthening certain parts of my body, and stuff like that,” Wilder said.

You mean strengthening certain parts of the body like the "LEGS" so you can wear that outfit again!!

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Maybe, I never had a dog. But human beings can go on learning practically for life. Hopkins was adding things to his game deep into his 40's. In fact the willingness to keep getting better is what separates guys who get to the top and guys who stay there and/or make it back.

That saying is one of those things lazy people who can't think for themselves go on repeating.

And Foreman will help you..how? Foreman was a slugger. better go to Holyfield and Holmes to tell you how to jab damn..

Never understood why people look at things like that. Why in the world would a fighter need to train somebody to be an exact image of themselves? Why would you presume they understand nothing about boxing outside of their own style?

Roach didn't do none of the **** he taught his fighters, man. That's just one example..

To say Foreman can't teach him anything and then go on to say he needs someone to teach him how to jab is even dumber. You do realize George had one of the best jabs in the history of the heavyweight division? Not only one of the best but the kind of jab Wilder should develop, meaning one more offensive than defensive.

Foreman had some fights when he didn't use it much, like Lyle and Ali. But for most of his career and especially his comeback he had one hell of a jab. Ever listen to him on commentary? He had more of a hard on for jabs than Kellerman's hard on for hard on's. Troubling combination unfortunately..

Wilder is definitely the World Heavyweight Champion of race-baiting. I can't argue with that.

Not at all. He is just proud to be black, he came up real poor. He wants to inspire people to be proud of themselves. Lord knows the West in general and America in particular wants people of color to feel inferior so we can be more easily exploited.

Wilder never made a racial thing about his fights. Is it race baiting when Fury speaks of his gypsie heritage too? The man calls himself the Gypsie King, wouldn't that top a damn outfit?

Foreman can help Wilder with ways to strengthen his blows (not just one single punch) and with strength training. But the most he can help with is dealing with this mentally and coming back more relaxed and strong. Foreman was also the angry man during his first tenure and was mostly hated for that. He became a completely different man when he came back and was loved by all. He was also a lot more mentally relaxed and at ease with himself. I hope Wilder can learn something there.

Having said that, Foreman didn't have great skills so for that Wilder needs to turn to someone else. And actually listen to them and not just have them but continue to listen to his old folks.

Deontay Wilder have spoken.

Deontay Wilder is in a journey and quest looking for the right people to help him. George Foreman saw all and he going to give great insight to Deontay Wilder. Deas is in, Mark Breland I believe is in, but the article don't mention him. I am curious who are the people who is going to help Deontay Wilder to make some modifying.

George Foreman is not the right person he should see. He needs Larry Holmes more than Foreman in that whatever game plan Fury has for the third fight he can adapt easily. Nevertheless, who would he need to help him deal with the psychological warfare Fury will throw and use on him? Nobody beats Fury there

When Foreman started his comeback he reinvented himself. He started using his jab as a weapon & a setup punch where as in his first career he didn't use it as much. He was all about power punching & it eventually caught up to him. Foreman may not be the best teacher but he sure can give Wilder some advice on changes he made to his offence that helped him successfully get back to the top level. It can't hurt to listen to him. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but Foreman is a perfect example of an old dog who learned some new tricks. I think it is a good move by Wilder. Will it help him beat Wilder? I don't know but after his last performance he needs to add some things if he hopes to regain the WBC title.

George is joining the losing team

[markther]

Holmes is a Fury fan.

Holmes is about his money too, everyone knows that. Maybe he asked for too much and Foreman wants less, LOL!!!!

He is weak, just like his fanbase. Bunch of 80 IQ mouth breathers.
