When the time comes to vote, the top boxing writers everywhere will almost certainly put a large tick in the box next to Tyson Fury Vs. Deontay Wilder III as it appears on the list of options for 2021’s Fight of the Year. What went down on October 9 was truly epic, with the knockdown-filled war also being crammed full of drama and relentless action. It was, simply put, one of the best heavyweight slugfests of all-time. And one of the best things about the three-match is the fact that the loser is not making any excuses this time around.
We all know about the long, long list of excuses Wilder had for losing the second fight with Fury; in fact, the list of excuses the former WBC heavyweight champion came out with reached laughable status. But this is not the case after the third war. Wilder, who at least had the satisfaction of putting Fury on the mat twice and of hitting and hurting him on other occasions during the stupendous shoot-out, has said how he “still got something” from the third fight. He did: a ton of respect and admiration.
Speaking on the Telli Swift podcast, Wilder said he has “no complaints” for the 11th round KO defeat, and that he is ready (once his broken hand heals) to move ahead with his career. “The best is yet to come from me,” Wilder said.
“I’m doing great,” Wilder began. “We didn’t get what we wanted (from the third Fury fight) but we still got something out of it. I think we got something even bigger out of it than just a victory. No complaints all. We just move forward. This is just the beginning. The best is yet to come from me.”
This is the way a beaten man, who gave his all yet came up short, should conduct themselves. This is the way Wilder should have acted after the February 2020 fight with Fury; instead of coming out with all that nonsense about being cheated. After pushing Fury so hard and giving the world such a great fight two months ago, Wilder sure regained a large amount of the fans he lost due to his crazy excuse-making. Now, we all cannot wait for Wilder’s ring return. How much is there to come from the 36 year old with the astonishing 42-2-1(41) record?
A lot will depend on how much that tough, at times brutal fight with Fury took out of Wilder, but if he has not been significantly damaged (as is a possibility, no doubt), Wilder might be able to come back and proceed to wipe out a number of good fighters before he’s finished. And Wilder says he still has goals. “I’m looking to accomplish the goals I still have left,” Wilder said.
Can Wilder regain a belt or belts? Can Wilder get back to scoring quick and chilling knockouts? For now, Wilder is back to being a realist. And a good sportsman.
James slater, have you been doing your job and finding, as I have done, the photo of the left glove with an egg weight clearly visible through the leather glove?
How’s it going putting those photos on you’re article. Here’s your chance to educate yourself. I am in position to do your work for you.
James Slayer , why do you pile up on Deontay Wilder? Are you visually impaired? Can’t you find the photos of the green gloves with fingers clearly visible through the leather on the right glove?
Amontonados means piling up in Italian.
Amontonados
So I send Mr. Deontay Wilder a healing and healthy prayer with all of the blessings he will need to continue getting better and better than before.
See? That’s why they call us white people devil’s. Slayter gets so much pleasure out of participating in destroying Deontay Wilders life as much as possible. He is experiencing euphoric enchantment when he recaps the whole thing again as misinformationalistic as possible. It’s a wonder the white man didn’t gang up on Deontay Wilder and lynch him for being a fine christian american.
No way fury could ever beat Deontay Wilder without people like you to help him cheat.
I am glad to hear that Deontay Wilder has been recovering from the injuries sustained from fury’s loaded gloves.
Deontay Wilder is the best. All you clowns just wanna hear him act ,” self depravating.” Ya hate,” I’m the best, are you up to the test?
It hurts people like Larry Merchant because it was true.
Buck breaking
Only Luis Ortiz and Deontay Wilder would embarrass fury easily and knock him out. That’s why Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte and fury duck the boogie man Luis king Kong Ortiz and why Deontay Wilder was cheated again and again. Deontay Wilder was so scary he had to be cheated to be overtly and obviously cheated to be defeated. Now, he is invincible. No one will ever beat Deontay Wilder again.
The favorite in a Anthony Joshua vs fury or a Oleksandr Usyk vs fury would be fury.
Larry Merchant said he wanted a great white hope in fury and all of the white people almost started to cry when the white lady interviewer answered,” amen.”
Deontay Wilder is not fine, he just isn’t the type to complain like Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, fury and crybaby Eddie Hearn. Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz and any top boxer who the Europeans ducked especially Luis Ortiz will do the same thing and outperform frauds. Deontay Wilder, you have to cheat Deontay Wilder to beat Deontay Wilder.
You are absolutely correct
You punk rock , balled head Nazi skinheads got a lot of nerve calling themselves Americans. You’re the racists. Lying devils. All of you guys. Cheating tactics were used to hate on Deontay Wilder because he’s unbeatable. Watch fury retire and Deontay Wilder get better and better
Before I go, I want you to shut up! Be quite. Zip it . Not one word.
David Anderson, just for clarification, I am a white male.
I am not being biased, the gloves that old, potbellied fat, pillow fisted phoney baloney fancy pants fraudulent interloping foreign intruder wore in the second and third fight had no padding, I saw them. They flop around because of the eggweight loaded left glove used as a black jack. There’s all kinds of photos of them.
I’m not racist against me, myself and I, or even my children, maybe just a little bit against my ex wife. Ha ha.
The British boxing board of control suspended permanently indefinitely suspended fury’s boxing license.. hell even you know that! Ha
All I hear is a bunch of crybabies storymakers and liars God help your soul anonymous why don’t you put your name down cuz what half of those are written by the same guy retarded just put your name down retarded racial bias that’s who you are
Even you know that! Ha ha ha ha ha ha
If I put my name on this comment, you may recognize it and not believe that it was really me. Bit I am me.
Canelo, Anthony Joshua, fury, Dillian Whyte just retire because the gig is up.
Yes , it’s true fury fights bare knuckle and his opponents have padded gloves and fury glove tampered against Christian Hammer and eggweight loaded gloves padding repositioning advantage floppy gloves flopping around all over the place flipping and flopping flippity floppity flipping around. That guy was stripped of the belt because he had steroids and crack in his blood work.
Yes Deontay Wilder is the best heavyweight champion ever living or nonliving.
James Slayter is a eurocentric Winnie who deseminates these proven facts. Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte and fury run like cockroaches. While on steroids cocaine crank and no padding in their gloves. Carl Lewis, Usain bolt , Anthony Joshua, fury, and Dillian Whyte. Run cockroach run.
No, fury can’t box. He cheats and the British boxing board of control suspended permanently fury’s boxing license in the UK for doing everything he did against Deontay Wilder. A proven crackhead glove tampering drug cheat.
Deontay Wilder is a Canastonia New York international boxing Hall of famer. Who plays the piano for the choir in his father’s church.
Deontay Wilder is anointed by God himself.
Neil Degrassi Tyson is a deseminating government agent, an actor on IMDb. A sold out,” winno,” who lives the life of James bond. Mansions, women, cars. He is paid to mislead the masses against proven documented evidence under laboratory conditions and published articles in scientific journals
America…my country…we have serious, serious problem with people with very, very low IQ’s running around and actually believing they are on par with Neil deGrasse Tyson. They actually believe this and when someone checks them mentally….well, they shoot that person. Unbridled genius 👏. For an American to call someone from another country “centric” well you my friend, you are one of those^. Also Fury is way better at boxing than Wilder….way better…they could fight 100 times and Wilder won’t best him. It’s already proven. Wilder hurting Fury in the 4th…pure luck and he yet again could not close the show. Again those saying otherwise ^^^^refer to the earlier part of this post.
This fury is an average boxer with no power. He loads his left glove with metal eggweights causing it to flop after Ricky hatten pulled down fury’s left glove in order to strike with the wrist area and repositions horse hair padding. Known for bribery glove tampering cocaine steroids and enhancement drugs, spiking water holding neck wrenching tripping rabbit punching and such. He can’t even fight in his own country.
You’re not american
No complaints after being sour following the end of his third beat down by Fury, while all out of excuses and no Mark Breland or a 40lb costume to blame. Then his handlers got a hold of him, coaching him to step up and be more sportsman like in defeat, because it wasn’t in his DNA. Wilder should just man up, and go fight another over-rated top heavyweight with a glass jaw, in Anthony Joshua. Why not? They could draw a huge payday in Wembley. I think we should be done talking about those two until one does something credible or retires.
Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz are so good Anthony Joshua, fury, and Dillian Whyte won’t fight them. Never have and never will never with padded gloves.
Anthony Joshua won’t fight Deontay Wilder, he is afraid of Deontay Wilders energy built up after being ganged up on and cheated. Deontay Wilders gonna really improve now.
A Pyrrhic is what the fake victory achieved. When the fury team offers a contract it includes an offer for the opponent to fight with padded gloves while.fury fights bare knuckle. If the opponent turns down the contract the fury team claims that they were afraid and turned down the offer.
Deontay Wilder is the best heavyweight currently active. He is a Canastonia New York international boxing Hall of famer with 10 title defense in five years.
Deontay Wilder, you have to cheat Deontay Wilder to beat Deontay Wilder.
This guy fury’s a cheater
Anyone of your eurocentric Winnie’s have just one word to say. Deontay Wilder is not saying anything because he doesn’t want to be labeled an excuse maker. I don’t have to be politically correct.
Loaded gloves padding repositioning advantage floppy gloves flopping around all over the place camera’s rolling bribed judges and referee’s spiked water holding neck wrenching tripping rabbit punching and eggweight loaded gloves clearly visible through the leather along with fingers clearly visible through the leather gloves. And you irresponsible ungodly journalist are not saying a word about it.
Both Canelo and fury are steroid using boxers who are bad for boxing.
These European fighters could pull a pistol, shoot Deontay Wilder, stand there holding a smoking gun, and Maricio Suliaman president of the WBC still wouldn’t investigate.
Ha ha that’s right!
Deontay Wilder was robbed. Slater is an embacile.
Nothing to be a shamed of honestly. With how the ref did his counts wilder could of easily have won the first and third fight and the second was clearly fury but two dope fighters. Epic war!! Two future legends of the sport for this era!!
Epic war my ass. One guy has padded gloves and the other guy doesn’t.
