He won't do that it would be nice to see him fight more. He's got a weak ego and cannot take a loss like a man and he would get beaten by at least a couple of guys so unlikely. Although he could do what he did before Fury and just fight bums. That could happen.
he should fight AJ While he waits. hopefully Arum pays AJ $tepa$ide so AJ & Wilder can finally square up … winner gets shot vs winner of Fury vs Usyk undisputed. That be something.
Thank you very much, I think I have posted a good amount, but then I see you are up to about 30,000! And been here almost 16 years, kudos. Why the username, & from where do you hail?
im from texas. san antonio. i used to play poker professionally and would spend a lot of time in a casino on the mexican border, on indian land. the large majority were mexicans who crossed over to gamble. my style of play is aggressive so i would take lots of stabs at pots with bluffs. because of my bluffing they tended to think i was trying to steal pots, so they would call me down. they started calling me bandido when they would fold. when i joined here i was still playing regularly and the handle was still fresh, so i used it. it wasnt my first choice, or even second, but the others were taken. i didnt want people to assume im a bandido club member because of where im from, so i switched up the spelling some. although ive personally known bandidos since the mid 80s, ive got no club ties. my avatar was given to me by a good poster when i lost an avatar bet to him. its only the second one i have ever had. my original avatar was a photo of alexis arguello, my favorite fighter, having his balled up fist held up by clint eastwood in the 70s.
Very nice, thank you for the great stories! I suppose you had no affection for online gambling? Maybe you think that unless it is done in person, those who succeed are merely "a legend in their own mind".
i think it takes a different skill set, a different type of awareness, to be good at online vs live. i am a winning player live, but an average player online. im not as mathematically guided. my advantage is observation, sensing motivations and discrepancies in logical behavior. i suppose online is harder since most of the information comes from the movement of the button and the chips. when im live, i can pick up the vibe of deception from their behavior.
A great champion with an illustrious career. He has every right to retire if that's what he chooses, or stick around for one or two more big money fights if thats what he chooses. He has nothing left to prove, and does not need to waste another year and get older fighting contenders. If Usyk or AJ dont have the balls to fight him next up, then he probably should retire
What makes you think Joshua and Usyk would be scared to fight Wilder, taking into account the very fact Wilder was offered the Joshua fight for more money than Fury?
Joshua wanted the fight that much is clear but don't you think them two have bigger fish to fry? Becoming the undisputed champ?
Where do you get off talking about taking losses like a man? Wilder went out and fought like a G till the bitter end. Very few fighters in history have shown that type of balls going out on a shield like that in a fight they were getting dominated in by a better opponent. Cassius clay looks like a straight coward for quitting on his stool by comparison, and his ass is roundly kissed as the greatest fighter ever. Show some respect
I was referring to his excuses and clear denial after the second fight. I should have maybe made that clearer in my post.
Fair enough. Wilder did run his mouth with a bunch of nonsense, at least after the second fight... But fighters are fighters, not scholars. He proved his heart in the ring, and as a boxing fan that's what I care about more
