Deontay Wilder is Delusional But Dangerous / Prediction

The wait is almost over as we’re all filled with anxiety pondering about tonight’s colossal finale of what some might call the most iconic heavyweight trilogy of our era.

Unquestionably, Tyson Fury stamped his claim as one of the greatest to ever do it, let alone in our era. And rightfully so, “The Gypsy King” is the deserving favourite in this Saturday’s showdown.

That being said, even though Fury defused the bomb of “The Bronze Bomber” twice, which caused Wilder to become as delusional as a human can be. Still, Deontay Wilder is a live dog in this fight, and here’s why.

– Deontay Wilder is STILL the hardest puncher in boxing history

As crazy as it sounds, yet it’s so true. In a sport that was established in the late 1700s, Deontay Wilder is the man in front of a glorious line that goes down hundreds of years as the hardest hitter of all. That says something.

An anomaly is a fitting label when describing the crippling power of the Alabama native. When you have the claim of 42 wins with 41 knockouts regardless of the opposition’s levels of skill and will, that’s still a lot of souls sent to the place where there’s no light.

So, with that being said, if you genuinely think that Wilder has no chance at scoring an upset, well, the joke’s on you.

– The danger of a delusional man with nothing to lose

Following Wilder’s last outing, where he got obliterated by Tyson Fury, he(Wilder) came out with an unfathomable list of excuses on why he lost the fight.

Many were and are still questioning Deontay’s sanity, where he just appears to still be in denial of what happened last year. Do I believe anything that came out of Wilder’s mouth on why he lost? No.

However, just because Wilder might still be deluded, he’s unquestionably the most dangerous delusional individual on the planet. If “The Bronze Bomber” actually convinced himself on why he lost, then Wilder’s mindset in the squared circle might very well be identical to his other 42 outings, violent.

– A fresh start

Wilder received well-deserved heat and criticism on how he handled the loss against Fury, especially after firing the man who had the most interest in his safety and health that night(Mark Breland).

Wilder labelled Breland as ‘disloyal,’ ‘envious,’ and most outrageously claiming that Breland spiked his water with a muscle relaxer.

Now whether Wilder believes all those ludacris claims is up for debate. However, with Deontay Wilder switching his coaching staff by replacing Breland with his longtime friend and sparring partner Malik Scott as the new captain crew, this change might very well be what Wilder needed all along.

Regardless of Wilder’s reasoning on why he terminated Breland, most boxers lose love and interest in the sport as years lapse on the calendar, and most importantly, the more money and pressure get introduced to the formula.

So, with Wilder’s mindset of starting fresh, that might very well be the needed fuel to reignite the fire and desire that the former champion once had.

– We never know which Tyson Fury shows up

Tyson Fury’s battle with depression and mental illness has been well documented in the past few years. And in a sport where the mental game is the most crucial, entering the squared circle, not in the best mental state, is dangerous, to put it mildly, especially when the hardest hitter in history is on the opposite side.

Tyson Fury dared to be great when he met Wilder in their second fight by walking down the puncher from the opening bell. With Fury having unbelievable success the last time as the aggressor, more than likely, he’s going to obey by the quote of “don’t fix it if it’s not broken.”

So, with Fury’s gutsy gameplan of running towards the puncher, he’s automatically putting himself at more risk of getting caught, and if Wilder stays calm, composed under the fire, his chances of scoring an upset are higher than ever.

It’s only fitting to place Tyson Fury as the favourite. And while we established that “The Gypsy King” is the greatest of our era, he’s still rolling the dice whenever he clashes against the most potent puncher the sport has ever seen.

Tyson Fury proved that he’s the better fighter, the better boxer, and mentally stronger than not just Deontay Wilder but any heavyweight on the planet. Still, all facts and stats mean nothing when “The Bronze Bomber” lands clean.

30 years from now, you get to tell your kids that you witnessed history. Nothing is guaranteed of what happens inside the squared circle tomorrow night, but if there’s one thing for certain, man, it’s a good time to be a fight fan.

-Final Prediction

Tyson Fury might be the greatest heavyweight of all time, and even though Wilder will forever remain dangerous, but when “The Gypsy King” is aggressive, he’s unstoppable.

Fury KOs Wilder under 7.
