Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Has Not Been Taught To Box on His Back Foot

[Ray*]

Wilder would probably do anything to get that belt back, even if it meant "Running" for 12 rounds and hoping he gets another gift like the first fight. Can't he "Run" like Joshua did doe?

Mayweather, Canelo and Bivol are best fighters to learn boxing on backfoot.

Canelo doesn't fight well on the backfoot. He has ****e footwork.

AJ didn’t run he punished Ruiz with shots while having to circle from distance most of time most on here call it running but that’s the forum they are on called boxing . Those shots from AJ that would have knocked Wilder out by no later then mid rounds . Even the first punch he landed busted open a cut on Ruiz .

Well Wilder is a slugger. He is not accustomed to fighting on the back foot. In the trilogy he has to stake out his territory in the center of the ring and don't move backwards.

Force Fury to back up because the last thing Fury wants to do is to trade and exchange punches with Wilder in the center of the ring. It is too risky.

Fury ran to the centre of the ring and literally beat Wilder to a pulp until the fight was stopped.

Is that not what he attempted to do in the rematch? Wilder always tries to backup his opponents and land the big right hand. His previous opponents would backup out of fear of the right hand and Wilder would have them where he wanted them. He landed a couple on Fury early in the rematch and they had little to no affect. Once Fury took those punches and started backing up Wilder he was done. If he can't make those big right hands count by buzzing, staggering or disorienting Fury, there's no way he's going to back him to the ropes. Fury is the bigger man and used his size and strength to keep Wilder on the back foot where he had no chance. Wilder needs to learn how to use his legs better and throw a more solid, accurate jab to set up the right hand properly. If not, it will be a repeat of the rematch. He cannot let Fury get inside his windmills because he will wear him down on the inside where Wilder has no game whatsoever. He also needs to learn how to clinch if necessary so the ref can seperate them and he can get the range he needs. I doubt he's going to improve his inside camp in one camp to the point where he can compete with Fury there.

He actually had because I have seen him do it, he just stopped after winning the title.

That's exactly what Fury did actually. And that led to Wilder backing up, or actually led to Wilder blaming his 45-pound Halloween costume for weakening his knees.

if your a slugger you need strength and good legs ..I have more strength in my schlong after 10 pints of Stella

I'm going to say it how it is

Deontay Wilder is literally ****

the word starts with S and ends in T

He has basically zero skills, zero ring IQ and was simply blessed being born 6'7" and having an A* power right hand

That's it

Outside of his natural gifts he is absoloutley atrocious with basically zero skill

If he had average power in his right hand he wouldn't be a top 100 heavyweight, I'm dead serious, guys like Molina, Washington, Szpilka were EASILY beating him until his power bailed him out.

Talk **** on AJ all you want you will never see him 5-0 down on the cards Vs Gerald Washington level opposition
