    Because of course he does.

    Next week it will be the gloves, ring walk costume, trainer drugged him, egg weights, or any other such assorted nonsense he sees fit to spew in order to avoid the fact that his career is over and he was protected for all of it.

    It would be rude for him to take responsibility for anything bad that happens.

    Part of the reason Fury performed badly also

    Flew out to Saudi and spent a week doing media events, was doing a gala meal the night before the fight then had to stay up till 1am to fight.

    The man who is prepared for this kind of stuff has a major advantage. It was pretty much a non-negotiable that everyone showed up to the gala dinner and sucked off Turkey.

    Some people are better at handling travel and things like this. Doing a media dinner the night before a fight would mess a lot of fighters up and fighting 5/6 hours later than you've been sparring with jetlag sounds like hell on earth to me.

    The counter argument is "they are all in the same boat" which is true.

    Regardless of the physical, Wilder still isn't mentally together enough to be fighting young hungry lions. Fury has broken him.

    Wilder is old as hell and not getting any better, couple that with jetlag, media, blah blah I can see how it would take its toll

    Deontay Wilder has admitted that taking psychedelic drugs has helped him rediscover his love of boxing.



    So he's both blaming the 'trip' and endorsing it...

    Ring rust is why he lost

    I don't remember him finding his range once against Parker

    He doesn't like it when a live dog moves and let's them go. Doesn't have a plan b either.

    He lost because he is worse boxer.
    Scott try learn him new things but he always was bad student.
    Its not accident that he never learn how to use his size, reach and other abilites.
    He only learn how to use this tremendous power.
    But when opponent understand that plus is Young, good boxer it look like that.

    But I dont expect nothing better from Wilder than that excuse.
    He try destroy his own trainer just to blame someone else than himself soo.

    Being overrated and protected his whole career is why he lost.

    He was never on Parker's level, let alone Joshua's.

    Everyone was on short notice. But Wilder knew forclong time he ia fighting in that range of months. Everything was his fault. Inactivity, opponent, etc. He was crying on one of tube channels that they give him too good of opponent. Can you imagine??? He is always been a fraud like this.
    He still has his tools, and will prolly still KO most of the truck drivers in the division.
    His next opponent going to be perfectly chosen, no doubt.
    Let's not forget he just ducked Zhang, which was his bullet back.

    I'm afraid I have zero interest in who'll be his next opponent. His time is over; he's done. Save the matchmaking for the undefeated up & comers.

    Has anyone inspected his stockings? Perhaps they were chafing his feet. Also his trunks were the wrong color, an obvious factor in his loss.

    Kabayel said in an interview that when he was in the same room with him you could see straight away that his head isn’t in anymore and that he was only there for the payday
