    It changes nothing have you never that old saying can’t teach an old dog new tricks!? What did Hatton learn from from training with mayweathers dad- nothing! Got knocked out in the second round!

    Fury is bigger stronger and far superior boxer compared to wilder! Wilder is a basketball player he’s not a true fighting man he didn’t know what to do when fury put it on him because he’s been knocking tomato cans for to long! Fury beats him and twice on a Sunday!!

    Im not the first or last to think he's a narcissist, but like i said, I'm old enough to remember his interviews. Most top level athletes in non team sports tend to be that way away any rate, just as most high level company directors are un-empathetic psychopaths.

    But just to reiterate, I don't hate Lennox Lewis, he was a fabulous boxer and is a certified ATG, but so is Floyd... doesn't mean they are nice people or I'd let either look after the kids.

    I think you're confusing narcissism with self-confidence
    Floyd is a narcissist though. He thinks he's greater than Muhammad Ali and that it should be called the Mayweather-for-Mayweather rankings. You don't really get more deluded than that.
    Lewis thinking he's the best of his era, quite rightly I would say, pales in comparison
    I don't see why not. Lewis seems to be a loving and devoted family man and Floyd only beats grown women

    Totally different power and style. George couldn’t be ragdolled.

    bad move if true.

    Shave wilders head bald with a sharp razor, put on 100lbs, wear the same shorts George wore when he beat Moorer, walk forward like a mummy,, have terrible shades at the ready for the after fight interview when he wins by KO

    Wilder is too light for Fury and has weak legs. Foreman will probably throw some muscle and mass at him.

    Wilder should retire and star in theatre, ‘Bambi on Ice’ would suit him with those legs of his.

    It could be a very good, career changing move. Forman is a huge fan of a good jab. If Big George can teach Wilder to work behind the jab or simply use it to disrupt the opponents offense, Wilder could be a force. Wilder needs to be open to listening and shut the hell up.

    One article I read stated: Three sources close to Wilder said the same exact thing: “Deontay just doesn’t listen to what he’s told; he does what he wants to do.”

    For Wilder to accept and implement the level of instruction required to significantly improve his technique will be a formidable task for any trainer. The problem in this case, is not who the teacher is but who the student is.

    Wilder's style is all rooted in a preconception that he is naturally athletic and a born knockout artist. He skipped many of the basic elements of boxing technique because he could get away with it until he faced a fighter that could exploit his weaknesses.

    He has a big hill to climb to reinvent himself as a complete fighter and biggest obstacle is Wilder's attitude toward instruction.
