LOL @gmurphy is going to be watching a long time. I suggest some eye drops and a book. Maybe War and Peace.
Ye there's still doubt. I mean, I know Fury beat him 3 times but the 4th time might be the golden ticket the Tuscaloser needs.
The thing with Wilder is he believed his own hype and was surrounded by yes men. Thinking his power would dig him out of trouble and certainly the media compounding this with the hardest puncher in history. It's hyperbole as I broke down in another thread you can't gauge power untill you fight the elite and Wilder failed against Fury who was not considered iron chinned before there trilogy. If he had a top trainer who could bollock him then we might have seen more out of him or at least improve his limited skills and seen him make adjustments after the first Fury fight. I don't think he's a bad person at all I've see a couple of interviews were he seemed alright. I just think he was surrounded by people who were there just for the gravy train. It's not really that different to Iron Mike's later career when he also had hangers on who didn't really care as long as the money kept rolling in.
I've said it before and i'll say it again, i'd love to see him go for broke now. He's lost twice now, he has no belts, he's got millions in the bank, he's still got a nuclear right hand (he did knock Fury down multiple times), and he's probably got a couple more decent years left in the sport if he wants. There's really nothing left to lose, so just put it all out there and go for broke! Take on anyone and everyone. Who knows what might happen? I'd love to see him knock out AJ and Ruiz, and who knows, maybe he'd get a shot at Usyk at some point? He can still be a draw and can still make some more money and maybe even get one more title shot. Why not? He might even make enough to buy himself a functioning smoke alarm.
Fury is next. Watch how he crumbles after getting KOed within the next year. His fake depression from before will be real this time. Also, Wilder was a fraud too so he gets whatever he deserves now
People around Wilder make him that way. He was very different before 2016 Just watch this This content is protected
This obviously is just another Wilder hater thread, but he actually has backed off the conspiracy theories and has seemed humbled. He's not going to admit he was wrong, and I wish he would, but it's not like he's engaging people negatively anymore. Will be curious what he does. He needs time off but also is an aging fighter. Still would love to see him fight Joshua as his coup de grace, win or lose.
How about a Fury - Wilder 4, under London Prize Ring Rules, with the winner getting a shot at The Coveted Police Gazette Bare Knuckle Belt (loaded with Valuable Gems and Precious Metals, and literally saturated with all sorts of magical elements).
Wilder proved himself a true champ on his last fight, showing more heart and courage than any heavy who isn't Fury. I think the criticisms pooped on him are pretty disgraceful...AJ and Ruiz never showed one ounce of the championship heart Wilder has.
