Comments Thread For: Porter: Fury Rematch More Than Anything Was Wakeup Call For Wilder

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It helps that he gets paid by Fox Sports to offer such insight, but Shawn Porter has remained passionate on his tracking the ongoing heavyweight rivalry between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. The former two-time welterweight titlist-who serves as an in-studio expert analyst for Fox Sports' Inside PBC (Premier Boxing Champions) Boxing series-was part of the massive broadcast team in the joint collaboration with ESPN to present the Pay-Per-View rematch this past February live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. England's Fury (30-0-1, 21KOs) manhandled Wilder (42-1-1, 41KOs) en route to a 7th round stoppage to become a two-time lineal heavyweight champion.

Like i have said many times, Wilder didn't get to go through what other did. Feeding him on bums DID catch up with him. That's why even most american boxing fans didn't take him seriously before he fought Ortiz the first time. He was in the background, walking down the street of New York as the WBC HW champ and no one knew who he was.

He didn't learn nothing with the bum route that they took him, that's why he wasn't well schooled. Knocking bums out gave him a false sense of security, his resume is full of cruiser-weights, some even started as middleweights. And when he finally stepped it up he avoided his rivals, and cherrypicked the guy he thought was coming off a long lay off, depression and weight loss. Am glad that cherrypick went wrong for him.

Just hope Porter doesn't get fired or have his card revoked for saying this..We all know how emotional Wilder gets when the truth is spoken about him.

No real skill to fall back on, he got by on his power, met a great boxer and was badly exposed. Wilder is simply not on Fury's level.

This is basically it. This is a guy who gets outboxed in fight after fight and eventually catches his opponent and gets the W. Everyone knew it and spoke on it. It was only recent where the "he shouldn't be judged like that because he's not trying to win on points, he's going for the knockout" narrative began. At some point someone with skill (not Bermaine Stiverne) was goes to stand up to the power

Anyone with sense knew what kind of fighter Wilder was. A very limited fighter. More than a few times he has looked like a total amateur until landing a big punch to bail himself out. It’s no surprise when someone figures out the proper way to beat him. Ortiz should have beat him 2 times, if only he had about 5% more smarts. I think Ortiz fell victim to being too comfy with the early success he had which led him to become a bit lazy, and that was enough to allow Wilder to find an open spot on his face.

THERE IS NO SHAME IN LOSING TO THE #1/2 RATED HW IN BOXING WHO SOME CLAIM IS THE LINEAL CHAMP... ITS NOT LIKE GETTING KNOCKED OUT BY A SHORT NOTICE OPPONENT WHO WAS NOT CHAMP LIKE ANDY RUIZ WHEN HE KO'D AJ.... IT HAPPENS

Do you not ever get tired of hating AJ for getting beat by Ruiz. I mean come on the guy took his loss like a man and did he what he had to do in order to get his titles back. I'm by no means a super AJ fan but he has accomplished a whole lot in his short career that's amateur and professional.

THE GUY TOOK HIS LOSS LIKE A TYPICAL DIRTY POLITICIAN! LEAKED FAKE RUMORS THROUGH HIS PR TEAM ABOUT 50 INJURIES LMFAOOOO... YOU GULLIBLE SHEEP

If wilder is still in denial making excuses for his loss and saying that fury isn't the wbc champ, he hasn't learned from the fight and will lose the 3rd.

Hopefully his camp and whomever he brings in can get him to come to accept this. Ego and pride can be damaging. Let's hope for a good 3rd fight.

There's not that many top quality heavyweights. Why are all his previous fights bum fights? Who did Fury beat before he beat klitschko? How about AJ? Name a quality boxer in his prime that AJ beat? Whyte that's it. Parker is a bum according to your definition. Who has parker beat?

Who did Ali beat before liston? Tyson before Berbick or after? Bums right? Joe louis? Bums.

At least wilder fought ortiz who every fighter avoided. Hell he was whytes mandatory and he still was able to avoid him. AJ must be a bum because he got beat by a short fat guy. So if fury loses to wilder then fury is a bum i guess?

Idiot keyboard rangers that like to jump on someone who lost and degrade them because they are bums in life themselves.
