Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder On Fighting For Forthcoming Bridgerweight Title: I Decline

Wilder picked the drug-addled overweight version of the gypsy king in the first fight. What you on about?

Good for Wilder! He’s not into picking lighter potential bums for worthless glory. He wants the clean cheat-less version of the 300lb Gypsy King - NEXT. At 35 Wilder should only be concerned with stalking the cheating behemoth.....ironically this’ll be the 1st fight where it’ll actually be fair.....

Somehow Fury Fan Girls will surmise that Fury wont be ready and that Wilder knows this, and that’s the ONLY reason he’ll fight Fury. Straight up fortune telling, but somehow their crystal ball can’t see a blatantly compromised glove.....

Your hysteria is good for the sport!! Hopefully this afternoon when you worship at his PEDestal, you can ask him about the Glorious Glove and how he miraculously got it past the commission.

Fury’s Glove Legacy (which was famously first detected by referee Marcus McDonald 5 years ago when Fury fought Christian Hammer)
will do great things for his so-called mental health, he’ll continue to “act” like he’s offended at being called out, while you continue to be aroused at his great acting ability...

Ain’t it good that out of a million KOOKY excuses from Wilder he was smart enough to get the most important and defining one right? And ain’t it cool that he’s courageous enough to DESPERATELY want to get at your hero again!? Even after being blatantly cheated against?

Awwwww, your mental health advocate hero is all of a sudden offended at being called out for being a certified cheat? ....Awwwww, maybe your fan girl crew can send him tons of fan mail support....wow wee, that’d be GROOOOVY!!!

Not a fan of Fat Fury and his boring style...more of a AJ fan when it comes to HWs. Just like most of the rest of the boxing world -am amused by Wilder and all his ridiculous, pathetic excuses! Have never seen a champion do so much whining and have so many weak, outlandish excuses after losing ! Is fun to ridicule him for his hilarious comical excuses and accusations along with everybody else - even a boxingscene writer! Let me know when Glove-gate makes real sports headlines...like on ESPN, SI, Ring magazine, CBS sports, Fox Sports(home of PBC)...then I may start believing it. Until then - just another pathetic ridiculous excuse from the feeble mind of Wilder! And no - the media not in on some anti Wilder conspiracy- Lol!!

Props to wilder on this one 👏👏👏

Wilder is no different now than Marcellus Wilder, his chinny little brother. He'll be getting sparked from this point forward

Deontay Wilder was the last WBC HW champ to fight under the 'Bridger-weight' limit. History will recognize Deontay as a exceptional champion for dominating 'Super-heavyweights' under the 'Bridger-weight' limit.

Deontay's reign as the last WBC HW champion to fight under 'Bridger' weight is comparable to P4P King 'Sugar' Ray Robinson's climb up four weights : from lightweight through light-heavyweight. Most notably, when Ray Robinson challenged Joey Maxim for the light-heavyweight championship ; Robinson gave Maxim a 15 pound advantage ( Ray Robinson 157 lbs to Joey Maxim 173 ).

Today's athletes are greater in size, for example : Gypsy-Bum Tyson Fury outweighed Wilder by 42 pounds ( Deontay Wilder 231 lbs to Tyson Fury 273 lbs ). Past great ATG HW's like : Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Max Schmelling, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammed Ali, in their prime, would weigh-in under the cruiserweight-limit. As such, these ATG's like Wilder would need to compete at Cruiser or Bridger weight by today's standards.

The last top HW to be under 6 feet, was Mike Tyson ( 5′ 10″ ), and like Wilder, Mike weighed under the 'Bridger-weight' limit. Mike's size disadvantage was overshadowed by his incredible punching-power, like Wilder. Mike Tyson's short reign was was almost 4 decades ago in the 80's ; another short American champion Roy Jones jr. ( 5′ 11″ ), was the last HW titlist that was under 6 feet tall. Coincidentally, Roy Jones weighed 193 lbs to defeat John Ruiz for the WBA HW title. Jones became the first former world middleweight titlist since Bob Fitzsimmons in 1897 to win a world heavyweight title.

The science justifies the decision by the World Boxing Council to establish the new 200-224 weight-class. Deontay Wilder is at great disadvantage fighting above 'Bridger' weight, he is proving to be taking great risk and should be given his respect, daring to be great.

[Califire209]

If WBC president Greedy crook Sulaiman actually creates this ****** division, Wilder will still fight as a HW and weigh-in at 222lbs

[Boxing_kos]

Respect Wilder and people said they made that division for you

[ELPacman]

Boycott the WBC!!! These made up divisions for MORE belts are ridiculous.

You’re the type that probably wastes all his money on name brand stuff, unable to buy the same quality stuff in a local store. Why?! Tommy Hilfiger says his stuff is the all & all!

Chicks probably get you to spend all your money on them - on worthless crap because it’s endorsed by people with “status?” ....You probably listen to ONLY what people with money have to say about your closest friends, if it’s unflattering (but not true), you end up dumpin’ em’ all..lol...

It would be great for ESPN and all the top honcho broadcasters to chime in, but it’s be risky for them to do so, plus their attention is elsewhere at the moment (most likely by choice). And thats what helps give Fury the GREEN light to continue his CHEATING ways: people like you.

Guys like you that need a certain someone or organization to say “let’s do some investigating” or “we’ve decided to eventually look into such & such - but not yet” are what CHEATERS appreciate more than anything! You help keep their POCKETS FAT, and their opponents in serious jeopardy.

You wait for someone or anybody with some type of media status to tell you when to look into something?!?!.......that’s for fan girls....

That’s what YOU say to fit your narrative. Wilder can think positive all he wants, he knows not every fight is a guaranteed win...especially against someone that’s beaten Wlad already ....Every boxer faces that same reality....Wilder wouldn’t fight if that’s the case, he’d simply say, “there’s no need to, I would’ve won”

Fan girls are the ones into all that palm reading crystal ball mind reading stuff. How can you know what Wilder knew he was gonna do to Fury?? When does Fury EVER look like a chiseled Adonis example of boxing excellence?!?! And how do you know Fury wasn’t training, even with all his “depressed” talk?...Your crystal ball says he didn’t because he looked too fat to you?!?!

One of the few things “I knew” was Wilder wanted to test himself against the next best thing when Joshua was hiding behind Eddie & Barry. Those two “promoters” had Joshua focusing on playing the ever evasive tough guy while BOOKING your robot highness for every commercial photo shoot they could get their hands on.....

On the other hand, I also “knew” Wilder wanted to take on the very best out there, and perhaps even DIE in the ring! That’s what his “actions speak.” Even his excuses give credence to that....
