Do you consider Deontay Wilder letting his rematch clause expire a duck?

    It might be the smartest thing he has done because if he has to fight Fury again he cannot continue fighting.

    Why? are governments going to enter tyranny mode and force lockdowns and no crowd events because of a virus with a 0.01% mortality rate and kills only the old or weak?

    People are already bored of this virus fear-mongering.

    Is the vaccine supposed to be the trigger to release people? The only people who want and need a vaccine are the vulnerable. Sorry to say but the destruction of an economy is not worth the lives at threat.

    Seems pretty clear Wilder didn't want the 3rd fight. The silence has been deafening, and everybody but that one guy on here can see it for what it is!

    Nah, sense prevailed. If he never takes the rematch then we know what it is.

    Excited. Now there's a good chance we'll start seeing Wilder getting bashed up by lesser fighters.

    Very simple. He lost twice and doesn’t want to lose again, that would completely destroy the thin strand of credibility he has left

    It is a duck.

    I know there is less money but if Wilder really thought that he is winning the third fight then he’s taking it for $12-15mil, which he realistically would have got.

    I don't begrudge a fighter a tune up after a KO loss. He really lost badly twice to Fury. Be interesting to see how he rebounds.

    He is avoiding the fight .... so yea , it’s a duck. Don’t know what else you guys can call it. It doesn’t necessarily mean he is scared, it’s just he has no answer to fury right now and does not want the fight.

    My maths is good, when the dataset is flawed you can't have precise figures.

    You want a range from 5 seconds of awfully basic analyses that probably OVERestimates? 0.01-0.04%

    Whoopty do, doesn't change my point.

    Hang in there Double, I suspect Fury though skilled must avoid fighters in their prime who can fight, otherwise we'll see his own glass exposed . I posted a possible Fury vs Brown thread a few moments ago. EWWWW, that can happen.

    So do you believe that figures coming out of say China, India or even the Philippines are correct? Trust me you think the dataset is flawed, countries are not reporting deaths and cases for sure
