Fandom of Wilder waning

[oogiebe]

So two more quotes from Wilder and my support for him is waning even further.

"no remorse for killing Breazeale."

"I will be highest paid athlete."

Someone should stop him from speaking. It's getting tiresome.

[Tony1244]

I don't mind the higher paid athlete quote, but the word "killing" should not be used in boxing like that. Ali always said, "I'm going to wup him."

One statement is delusional and one is inappropriate at best. So I agree to an extent. I'm not as big a fan anymore. Seems to me his mouth has been far too active after his fight with Fury. He's not handling himself well after that controversial bout.

If he continues to win, and win by KO, let's say he KOs Fury and Joshua in the next few years? I'm not saying he will, but IF he does, won't he be damn close to the highest paid athlete?

I see the killing quote as disgusting at best.

[Stuarty]

I quite liked him until he started trying too hard to be controversial.

Wilder is being wilder, this is what happens when you have no promoter behind you...

[candyslim]

He is a classless man and he harbours no ambitions toward unification despite all his big talk and broken promises.

Personality wise I am emphatically not a fan, and I get very tired of all the bullsh1t. Having said that he can excite in the ring like few others. His one punch finishing ability allied to his vulnerability make him compulsive viewing. He has helped to bring a lot of attention and anticipation back to the heavyweight division,

As much as I catch myself hoping Breazeale batters him, I remind myself that would not be good for boxing and not only will boxing be poorer when he is eventually removed from the scene, I know that I personally will miss him when he's no longer fighting, not so much for what he has done but what he could do or could have done.

I just hope and pray he doesn't bow out without fighting Joshua.

wilder said already he wants to actually kill an opponent and have them die in the ring, this is light by his standards. i just like how he delivers the power each time, you at least have to say he makes good on his word with that. seems not like a smart guy but i like watching him

I want to know what happened to that little guy in the costume on that Spanish language tv show that Wilder sucker punched as hard as he could and then said, "I didn't know anyone was in there".

I for not even a second feel what he says is appropriate but god damn he got dynamite in that right, he hits like a truck for someone that weighs 210lb

I think we all agree both his brain and his right hand are granite rock.

[Enlightened-One]

Deontay Wilder has been saying stupid things like this for years. He doesn't realise that boxing isn't the WWE.

It seems that Wilder is desperate enough to say anything to promote himself.

People may say it's only "TALK", but if Deontay's rhetorical hyperbole eventually became a reality, then how could he try to excuse his behaviour if he unintentionally fulfilled his "ambition" by actually killing someone?

And by the way, Deontay Wilder's comments are once again bringing the sport into disrepute, since he has repeatedly contravened Section “5.9 (b) iv” of the WBC's rules.

They’ll probably be loads of nutters defending Wilder's words, claiming that stupidly offensive things should continue to happen, simply because they occurred in the past. The may even cite quotes from a list of Hall-of-Famers that may have previously articulated equally absurd things.

If a historical figure they admired intentionally tread in a huge steaming pile of dog shît, these nutters would you probably consider it highly-honourable to try to repeat the same feat? That'll probably be the gist of their entire argument.

These nutters will clearly feel that civilisation shouldn't be allowed to evolve and learn from mistakes, because their nostalgia compels them to believe that nothing in today's world is better than the “good old days”.

He's not stupid at all.

[Tony1244]

He's not stupid at all.

He acts pretty stupid. But true, smart people can act stupid.

[Ilya Muromets]

He's not stupid at all.

From your vantage point he's very smart.

[Ilya Muromets]

Funny joke huh?

[greg]

.. unacceptable, surely someone has to look into that...

[SenorPipino]

I still love him.

If you haven't accepted Wilder for who he is and how he talks by now, then it's far too late for you.

When I read what he says, I don't even blink.

I never expect gems wisdom to flow from a fighter's mouth.

That's why they don't do the intro for Masterpiece Theater.

Compared to Broner, Wilder's comments are positively tame.

Funny joke huh?

Just laughing at how dumb you are.

[Onetimeonly]

I've talked to him a few times. He's not a genius, but I am and I can tell if I'm conversing with an idiot. Very insightful about the sport.

[Tony1244]

I don't believe any of us know Wilder's IQ, but he doesn't show a lot of common sense by talking about killing fighters. He is shredding potential advertisement dollars. I am still a fan of his in the ring.

I don't care what these guys say, any of them, but you can't possibly believe that wilder assaulted a puppet.

The way Wilder and Fury went at it in pressers, are you certain that boxing isn't the WWE?
