Deontary Wilder's Career

  Seasoned boxing observers may have different perspectives on Deontay Wilder. On the one hand, his résumé isn't extensive, and his skill set has consistently come under fire over the years. On the other hand, he is one of the all-time hardest punchers and has recently had one of the longest heavyweight title reigns. Top heavyweights like the "Bronze Bomber" usually make it into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, but ardent supporters will continue to dispute his skill for all time. Here is one viewpoint on Wilder as he gets ready to fight fellow contender Robert Helenius on pay-per-view this coming Saturday at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center. BAD With a remarkable run that featured 10 consecutive title defenses, Wilder defeated Bermane Stiverne to win the WBC heavyweight title in 2015 and retained it until Tyson Fury stopped him in their second bout in 2020. Who did he defeat, though?   It includes Eric Molina, Johann Duhaupus, Artur Szpilka, Chris Arreola, Geral

Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis

The mega-fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta "Tank" Davis, according to Showtime CEO Stephen Espinoza, is "very near" to being set. The Tank-Ryan bout isn't finalized yet, according to Espinoza, because the TV networks need to be worked out. The battle between Tank (27-0, 25 KOs) who fights on Showtime, and Ryan Garcia, who fights on DAZN, doesn't serve the interests of either network for them to share the fight.

Despite Ryan having a sizable social media following on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, he is still not a big enough boxing star for a fight between him and Gervonta Davis to be one that will be lucrative for both competing networks DAZN and Showtime. What do you think about Garcia’s recent opponents?  Have they been of the caliber she should be going up against or are they old and past their primes

Which opponents make sense for Jake Paul in 2022?   A boxing bout between Jake Paul and any number of UFC fighters, such as Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, and Jorge Masvidal, would probably be of interest to everyone from Paul to MMA fans. However, that situation is almost unlikely to occur anytime soon given the existing authority UFC president Dana White has over the contracts of UFC fighters. Because of this, Paul might gain some validity from facing a "real" fighter. It's shrewd of Paul to have recently toyed with the idea of fighting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., especially if the 35-year-old son of a boxing icon continues his downward spiral of four losses in his previous seven fights and an almost inexcusable lack of professionalism whenever a battle becomes tough. As of now, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is the greatest choice. Chavez is a "genuine boxer" and a former world champion. Yes, Chavez just suffered a true boxing loss against 46-year-old former MMA cham
