Wilder comments on Breazeale child

[candyslim]

Certainly not Breazeale. He might lack speed and technique but there is nothing wrong with his heart or his attitude.

I like Dominic and hope he gets his opportunity against Wilder. I have to say I would pick Wilder to win but I wouldn't discount Dom 's chances. He is big and tough rather like Duhaupas who left Wilder looking like a gargoyle.

I'd love it if he could draw Wilder into a war and emerge victorious.

[SenorPipino]

As usual, I don't understand the controversy.

May be after listening to fighters for decades, I'm totally immune to anything they say to hype a bout or psyche an opponent.

Hell, people still go back in time and condemn Ali for saying "mean" things to bad ass Frazier and supposedly hurting his feelings.

I just chuckle.

So when Wilder talks about wanting Breazeale's kid to come up and see the man who is going to whip his daddy, I can only shrug. Maybe yawn too.

Public comments would make you believe that Wilder called the boy a host of foul names and threatened him.

Nothing of the sort happened. Wilder didn't say one derogatory thing about the lad.

Wilder just invited the boy to get a gander at him.

Why the handwringing? Where's the story?

There's always an agenda driven element out there that insists on portraying and defining Wilder as the devil.

But this benign episode certainly doesn't strengthen that argument.

Nothing happened.

If anything it's just more of that fake news for our time.

[man]

Wilder: If I fight Breazeale I want his son to look into the eyes of the man who will cripple his daddy!

Such a shame when Wilder himself has been through so much with his own children

One of his daughters was born with spinal problems, born with chance of paralysis, and he said it was the scariest moment of his life and motivation he needed to start boxing

To think he’d wish paralysis on his opponent and the impact it’s have on someone else’s child to see it is sickening

'As a parent, you never want to hear your child is going to be born with a disability,' he said. 'We all want a healthy child. All that was just circling through my mind.'

But it’s fine to wish that on another man and the impact on that mans child ...

i hope this is a misquote, because if it is
not, then it is troubling. it is one thing to
use the usual warrior themes, but quite
another to come up with something so
viciously sophisticated.

so far my thoughts on wilder was "border
line coward", since he had less guts than
any of the men he faced in the ring. maybe
it is time to add "asshole" to that.

i hope AJ wins and wins decisively, although
it would be good for boxing if it was close
and/or controversial.

[man]

lol, im also pretty sure after beating up zelenoff he yelled something at charlie about not talking/tweeting about his family too

wilder sort of started out as the nice family man, but hes embraced this type of character more and more. maybe especially as a counter to mr humble aj

And? Mike Tyson was even worse and did worse things. Rapping girls and bitting his opponents? He talked about eating Lennox's kids and people still love him. They praise him and make bilion excuses for him.

Buuu...but...but Prime Tyson would...... DOE! Deontay Wilder is the future hall of fame member after he beats Fury and Joshua. It¨s very close.His time is coming.... BIG RIGHT HAND!§§§§§

and? did mike tyson not receive heavy
criticism for that? was he not perceived
as a savage asshole and sour loser?

"I want Breazeale's son to look into the eyes of the man who will cripple his daddy".

You really think that is an acceptable thing to say? If a footballer said something as deeply offensive as that he'd probably be charged with "Bringing the game in to disrepute".

Boxing is neither so delicate nor so organized, but it's image isn't great anyway and is hardly enhanced by such tasteless remarks by one of its heavyweight champions. If the WBC were fit for purpose (yeah, fat chance) they would be concerned about the image of the 'sport' and would clamp down when talking smack goes beyond the limits of decency.

[gilgamesh]

At this point the sport of Boxing would probably enjoy any extra publicity from the Mainstream media. Even if it was negative press like this, just getting the mainstream media to discuss Boxing would be beneficial to the sport.

Other than Boxing fans nobody is even aware of Wilder or his comments.

[candyslim]

Sadly you may very well be right.

[Pukka Cheese]

Deontay Wilder is the future hall of fame member after he beats Fury and Joshua.

Alternatively, Fury might beat Wilder (despite having a PT as a coach and still recovering from food and drug binges) and Ortiz, who is Wilders only good win might very well lose his next big fight as the guy will be closing in on 60years old.


Next 18months or so it will be fun following Wilder. Maybe he will win some big fights and go down as the best in a weak era. Could easily get exposed as a complete fornicating fraud instead though

[BigBenHo]

This is standard smack talk to hype a fight and get under an opponents skin.

I thought we had men following this sport, not a bunch of girls blouses.

[Impractical Poster]

It's obviously a crappy thing to say. But Wilder has shown to bo a bit of an over the top showman.

Had he said this 25 years ago, it would not had been such a big deal. But we live in the ripe old age of political correctness. It's an age that if we refuse to address a person by his/her sexual preference, no matter what sex they are biologically, there can be dire consequences.

A lot of the time those "dire consequences" amount to nothing more than people wagging their fingers at you saying "No, no, no...don't say that"

Negative press isn't what I'd call a "dire consequence"

how would girls blouses even follow boxing? the same way mens hats or footwear would?

It's true.

There are a growing number who say we shouldn't raise a child in traditional gender roles anymore.

When the kid is old enough, he or she will determine what sex they prefer to adopt.

No mention is made about the sticky genitalia problem.

BTW, how old is Breazeale's kid?

I'm sure he has heard his old man offer up plenty smack talk of his own. It goes with the territory.

I doubt Wilder's "insensitive, savage" (as some media reports described them) comments caused the boy to seek immediate psychotherapy to overcome any lingering trauma.

Lol myself

Honestly, I didn't think about it that way until you presented it.

[Grilling Machine]

You go ahead, so long as you don't make anyone look you in the eyes.

My bad

[Heretic]

So Wilder is asshole?

Big news right there

It such a manly thing to go around threatening children.

How funny would it be if Breazeale would KO Windmiller cold

Sadly he is hand picked as an opponent just because he doesn't have the skills to do so.

Wilder has fought one decent opponent so far and he needed all the help to survive that fight.

We could use him for the definition of the term "paper champion".

I've no idea how old he is and I haven't even considered lingering trauma, but just because this is a tough old business contested by tough men it doesn't mean that talking like some kind of psychotic thug should be part of it.

Breazeale is no stranger to swapping smack talk but he doesn't talk sh*t about a man's wife or kids. There are limits is all I'm saying and if that makes me a "Big girl's blouse" in your opinion then you are not someone whose opinion matters to me. That's a general comment, not aimed at you Pip.

Well said Heretic I agree with every word of that. Mind you Wilder doesn't seem in any rush to fight him does he? Maybe Wilder has decided he (DB) is a big bloke who doesn't fall over too easily and perhaps there are easier pickings to defend against.

no i usually don't. but in the sport at hand
people risk their health in a very direct and
indisputable manner and that somewhat
changes the conversation about what goes
on in and around the ring.

trash talk about the other guy as much as you
want, i find that usually amusing, but there
indeed are limits. some might be question
of personal judgment, but some are not.
wilder clearly crossed the line by a mile by
dragging children into this. and in case you
are unaware of it there have been incidents
where relatives saw their loved ones being
crippled in the ring.

but how would you know? since you would
for sure not let such serious thought disturb
your "entertainment".
