    Yeah, personally I'd still be willing to give him a window of opportunity to repent. Fighters say all sorts of loopy **** in the direct aftermath of a fight and I'm not going to hold it against them. Generally though that's the moment the true spirit of a fighter is most on display, and given what we know of Wilder it didn't look too pretty.

    Normally I would say Fury’s class and magnamity work precisely as the salt being rubbed into those wounds but, Fury seemed to go out of his way to leave the olive branch extended. Under the bravado and humor of the consummate showman, Fury truly is a class act with respect for his fellow gladiators. “Are you not entertained?” Great video :)

    Yes I wouldn't have been so magnanimous in that situation after having my good name dragged through the dirt with all his slanderous accusations.

    Wilders response is not surprising for someone who is uneducated and who’s ego is massively hurt. He needs some time to really come to grips with the fact that he lost to a better fighter. All of his ko wins and all of his yes men made him believe he was this invincible powerhouse anointed by god. He needs to accept and be grateful that he was able to accomplish so much more then what he originally started boxing for. He has the finances to be able to help his daughter and all of his children and grandchildren for years to come.

    Where is video evidence of Fury trying to shake Wilder's hand and Wilder saying this?

    I mean, Fury said it right afterward in an interview, and why would he make something up about what transpired between them with a ring full of witnesses, cameras, and microphones, and millions viewing on TV around the world? :nusenuse: It isn't like some gym sparring story where it can be he said / he said. Wilder either did or didn't refuse the handshake, and it would be super weird for Fury to think he could just fabricate from whole cloth that he did if it didn't happen.

    I thought he was class during the press conference, when he explained the KO and showed genuine concern when he said , i just hope he is ok.

    I may not like Wilder as a man but after his efforts yesterday I must respect him.
