Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder signs for comeback fight versus Curtis Harper

[Marchegiano]

Does anyone suspect this is more of a show than a fight? Forget how bottom of the barrel Curt is, he's also willing to just get paid to lose. I get that's what here's there for but I wonder how on the nose it is.

I Like Wilder. I might be the last Wilder stan. I still believe brah. Get that hammer in action, he can murder anyone. But TF is this **** though?


It's like a ****ty version of Wlad vs Vitali; you can throw that fight, but there's a big chance it's just a fake fight for money like some WWE bull****.


This **** show is free on Youtubes?

Fury's entire claim to fame is Wilder. Wilder fought Fury so he's got that going on!

Can it be because both were exposed when the fought on the elite level...just sayn?

[PRINCEKOOL]

Wish all three would go the fugh away ; Wilder , AJ and Fury
The division would benefit so much

Anthony Joshua has fought the most top level fighters, out of all heavyweight fighters during this era 'And people must acknowledge, that it was Anthony Joshua who first gave Oleksandr Uysk I his chance to fight for a Heavyweight World title. True to his form and conduct as a Champion and fighter Joshua has taken on all comers, and has continually taken fights that? Many people have advised him not to. Such as the immediate rematches with both Andy Ruiz Junior II, and Oleksandr Uysk II'.

And even now at this stage of Anthony Joshua's career 'Joshua's next fight is ether against? Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker, Martin Bakole or Zhilei Zhang 'Those are Joshua's best options going from all the discussion points with members of Team Joshua'.

All of those fights if and when they happen 'Will be rated as one of the biggest boxing events in the entire sport. So? To suggest that boxing would be better without Anthony Joshua, is very inaccurate statement. Joshua still has ambition to compete at the very top of the sport. Giving the opportunity for his supporters to ether see him win again, or his critics the opportunity to expose themselves as opportunist and gloat'.

Note: Both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, during their Championship reigns were content with continually fighting each other. In fact? I am giving Tyson Fury too much credit here, because it was Deontay Wilder who with his competitiveness and ambition. Forced the last two trilogy fights to happen'.

Tyson Fury did not win the first Deontay Wilder fight 'There is a popular narrative, that it was a controversial decision against Tyson Fury. But when we really analyse boxing history, never before has a fighter away from home in the Champions terrain? Won a World title by being backed up all night, and decked twice once badly. If any fighter deserved the win during Fury vs Wilder I, then that fighter was Deontay Wilder. Overall the fight being scored a draw, was the correct decision'.

We already know right now, that Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder both don't want to fight Anthony Joshua 'When those fights are right there to make. Tyson Fury has apparently just recently retired, and Deontay Wilder is going to fight some domestic level American Heavyweight fighter'.

To conclude: Whether people like to admit it or not 'Anthony Joshua is still one of the best Heavyweight fighters on the planet. Most of Joshua's critics when they are really honest with themselves are very aware of this. Many of the World's current top level Heavyweight fighters are all extremely beatable, not even Oleksandr Uysk is formidable. Uysk may be wining fights, but he very rarely has the ability to stop his nearest competition, and even up against both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua he was just about winning the rounds with his superior endurance and skill acuity. Oleksandr Uysk is the best Heavyweight fighter in the Division, but he is not miles ahead of his nearest competition in terms of pure ability. In such a competitive landscape, a fighter with the experience, skill level and overall game of Anthony Joshua is only going to add to the Heavyweight Division' etc.

And now we can add Prince Cool to that list
If all four would go away , boxing would be much better off

"Wah wah!! AJ fought better stiffs than Wilder wah" a split second of silence... "splash."

[billeau2]

when did i become an aj fan? saying joshua is way better than wilder and has a 10 times better resume is simply stating the truth, not fandom. have you seen the things wilder fans have said? hardest puncher ever, great fighter, would fight anyone, etc...with no evidence to support such claims, in fact in the face of the overwhelming counter evidence that shows otherwise. when you have a resume to stand on, you dont need fans to inflate your standing, wilder doenst have a very good resume which is why his fans have to fill the void with their fantasy delusions

No evidence? Really? What "overwhelming" evidence is contrary to the assertion that Wilder, at his best, did not have an exceptional punch? Your so called "evidence of a resume" is what lacks... Again, just to reiterate: AJ drank from the same well as Wilder. None of these guys fought exceptional competition... AJ lost to any exceptional opponents that might have challenged a prime Wilder...

[billeau2]

His four baby mamas and eight kids already spent it. Why do you thing he's fighting again?

It is a well known fact that many baby mamas make great sparring partners... Just gets expensive when settling up...

In all reality he did fight better opposition but in that respect , they both suck and have kept this heavyweight division on hiatus

It is a fair point... One has to look at the film. Wilder shows explosive tendencies that catch his opponents. Also, a lot teeters on the image one has of Ortiz. Ortiz was a highly skilled boxer puncher, and had an undefeated record prior to facing Wilder. As far as evaluating Fury? His performance against Klitsko was textbook... You can literally count the techniques he applies in the ring with respect to movement, timing, footwork, etc.

Wilder is no fluke, it does take an effort to deconstruct the nonsense that posters like Daggum blovate... If one decides that "Ortiz was old and a fluke" and that AJ "fought better competition than the rest" one can call Wilder a fluke... But the problem is this reasoning is incorrect.

If you really take the time to look at whom AJ lost to, fought and beat, compare his relative losses, etc... It is hard to determine "better." Was Ruiz better than Tito Ortiz? Remembering that Ortiz was undefeated when he fought Wilder... And when we consider the losses, it compounds the notion that AJ hit a ceiling, before being beat by the best... Reality is, the general level of opposition at this time in the division is lacking...

With all that said? I agree 100 that we need this division to move forwards, we have some real talent coming up the pike! Moses Ituama, Torres, Bakole... These guys are imo "better" than the last epoche of super sized heavyweights... Usyk brought that epoche to a close!
