    Deontay Wilder is a boxer, he is also a man. This boxer/man has done amazing things in our sport, and the real Wilder only lost to Fury, his clone lost to Parker and Zhang, but the real Wilder is back. The question is, is he the Wilder of old? Or is he an old Wilder?

    In fight 1 with Fury, both men won the fight, Wilder beat Fury and Fury beat Wilder. Both guys deserved the win and both won, it was tremendous. Prime Fury only ever lost this fight, in a fight he also won, before past-prime Fury schooled Usyk in fight 1, to be robbed, and snagged a draw in fight two, to be robbed again, due to the war in Ukraine. Chisora, Briedis, and Dubois, all also beat Usyk, but too many are too blind to admit it.

    Wilder has been through it in his 39 years. Wearing armour so heavy it would crush mere mortals and send them onto the stairway to heaven prematurely, but Wilder, he complained and cried about it, but, it never took him away from us. He has taken punches from gloves with hammers in them that dinted his skull, but he kept on coming, he's been trained by Malik Scott and learned some very weird spin move that was completely innefective, but we laughed and laughed at the greatness of King Scott's training methods.

    He can punch, he can twerk, he can wear armour. That's a triple threat. Whilst Wilder proved not to be as good as prime Fury, he is definitely still the best of all time. Wilder was also part of the most exciting fight that never happened. Wilder vs Joshua. The buildup and reports on Sky Sports News, "Til this day", "One name, one face" lives on in the memory. Wilder won in many ways, though in other ways, he didn't win, but also, he didn't lose, so it was interesting.

    Tha man has a statue. He also spent time in the street jabbing thin air with Lennox Lewis. These were good times in the history of Planet Earth. He walks among us, yet, some of us have never seen him in person, but we know, there is no doubt that he exists, because many have seen him, and we see him on our screens, which is essentially reality. Statistically, there is a 99% chance that Deontay Wilder exists and is a real human being, and if that is the case, he was blessed with the strongest right hand since Ray McKigney.

      Good write up. I don't doubt he's less than he was, but the Parker and Zhang fights were nothing out of the ordinary for him.

      He's a fighter who offers nothing until he lands a big punch. Then he met men who could be offensive and wouldn't simply walk onto that punch and got beaten conclusively.

      He's going to look like the old Wilder this weekend. He's fighting at the right level again.

        No one comes back the same after the beatings Wilder took in the second and third Fury fights. They're both tough as they come and have huge hearts. But neither did their brains (or the rest of their careers) any favors with those fights.

          Last few fights I've seen, the reflexes and willingness to pull the trigger were absent. Sure, Parker and Zhang are levels above 95% of Wilder's previous opponents but he let those bombs go against Ortiz and Fury.

          He's always had bad balance and Bambi legs but he looked very unsteady against Zhang.

          He's 39, sustained alot of damage in those last two Fury fights and no longer has the attributes that allowed him to deliver that concussive power we saw in the past.

            Bumz squad can revive his career at Bridgerweight.

              This here. If the right hand doesn't land, he doesn't know how to do anything else. Only intrigue in his fights is if/when he lands that right. Skill-wise, he's always been far from a top fighter and it's showed in all his fights with the top guys. Even in alot of his fights with lesser guys he's shown that, but his right hand had bailed him out for the most part. But kudos to his right hand tho. It's made him Ms while being totally deficient in just about every other department of boxing.

                He is fighting a bum , so he will probably win.

                A reminder: he is 1-4 in his last 5 fights.

                  Wilder should be able to knock this bum out in the first round with one punch like he did to all the other 40 bums he's beat. BUMSQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Wilder is one of the biggest cases of wasted talent in boxing history. After winning the title he adopted a style of wait to land the right hand and give away rounds in the process and that doomed his career at the top level. I really noticed it against Gerald Washington when I was ringside in Birmingham. He lost every round until he landed.
