Wilder took a savage beating and if he's serious and exercises the immediate rematch, he deserves credit. The excuses are pathetic, but it does take a warrior to get back into the ring against someone that beat you from pillar to pillar. It's serious G-mode. Just like when Pac practically begged JMM for a fifth fight and even offered to fight him in Mexico. Give Wilder props if he chases that 2nd brutal beating.
He's cashing out. He has no way to win. Unlike AJ in the second Ruiz fight there really are no adjustments Wilder could possibly make to increase his chances of winning. He doesn't deserve any credit because he's just wasting everybody's time.
He deserves credit if he comes out absolutely firing and throwing the right hand with reckless abandon. Kill or be killed in a firefight. Otherwise it's just a cash out. One last payday and retirement. The only goal might be to finish the fight on his feet after 12.
He doesn't have a choice. If he turns its down where does he go because if he fights another top 10 guy he will probably lose. If he turns it down he loses a big pay day, looks a ***** and might not get another shot at a title. The best outcome for wilder would be accept some step aside money with a guarantee if getting the wilder/fury winner. This would be perfect for him, gets a pay day, doesn't lose face and gets to go away for a year and train. Can come back to end his career with a massive final fight against the fury/AJ winner.
When you're not liked, there's nothing you can do to 'get credit' because there's always a reason, even if it's stupid, why you shouldn't.. If you do get credit though, there's an expiration date which isn't long at all...lol
Are you an Ageist?? If Wilder loses the trilogy it will be due to being the inferior fighter with less skills. Fury fouled like hell in that fight. Just cause they're heavies does mean they're allowed to roughhouse like that. Shades of Wlad-Sasha
If he takes another beating like that he might as well spend his retirement in a wheelchair. I hope the ref pays better attention in the 3rd fight and takes him out earlier. He should've taken Deontay out now when he saw he was just stumbling to the floor without a punch in round 5 or so. Deontay's chicken legs were completely gone.
You do understand its literally impossible for Wilder to be broke...ever? This War, not a peasant payday
