I agree, he’s always been humble after the Fury fights (I think he was humble before he fought Fury)

[@adamlees8410]

The heart Deontay displayed in that third Fury fight will be talked about and admired forever. What I respect and remember the most with fighters is the courage they display over everything else. When Holyfield went through that hellish 10th round with Bowe. When Gatti rose from that Ward bodyshot.when Wilder kept coming forward on fumes. These are the memories that stick with me more than a boxing masterclass or a virtuoso performance.

Great comment

[@christurner2684]

Wilder started boxing at like 21 years old to pay for his daughter’s therapy that she needed, and he ended up becoming an all time great, that is unbelievable💪🥊🔥

[@K_j_M]

He was 18, stop lying. Same age as Joshua. Who was twice unified and fighting for titles at 16 fights in That's quite the contrast to this mook who was sti fighting 8 rounders at 30 odd fights 😂

[@marcuswaterworth364]

​@K_j_M he started at 20. Both of them have accomplished incredible things especially for such late starts. You actually don't have to hate one to appreciate the other.

[@thiefoftomorrow]

not an all time great, essentially lost three in a row to the only decent fighter he ever faced other than a 50 year old ortiz who nearly did him. that said hes great for boxing and find him very exciting to watch

[@BoyDanny93]

​@@thiefoftomorrowDoesn't need to be an all time great, but there's one thing no one can take away from Deontay, his punching power. He's easily the top 5 hardest punchers in HW of all time.

Deontay Wilder has grown on me through the years. I used to hate and despise him, but his losses have made him humble. It's reverted him back to the old Deontay, before he won the WBC title. He's so much more likeable now. All respect to him

[@doitall36]

You hated and despised a black man for being confident in the Ring? Did you despise Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson too???? Do you hate and despise Tyson Fury too or is it just reserved for a confident black man..The interesting part is Deontay has not changed at all.He was the same gut when he fought King Kong Ortiz.

Aj vs wilder hasn’t happened for all these years for the same reason all boxing fights that never happened didn’t. Money, timing, promoters & egos. That goes for both sides.

@@budgonstopCANELO just have to agree to disagree.

​@@budgonstopCANELOWilder had barely broke a million at that point and certainly hadn't fought any difficult fights. Took the belt from a washed Stiverne who for some reason that no one knows, had a shot at the vacant. 12.5 then 15mil was more than fair at that time.
