    From what I've seen Wilder made huge improvements from fight 2 to 3 against fury after having scuba scott and now another year later knocks out Helenius in style. Surely he will regain his title, and Scuba will get credit

    I didn't think so, he looked regressed in the Fury 3 fight, imo...

    but in his training for Helenius he did look better than what I was expecting or used to. Not sure how real that is though.

    On one hand, gonna be hard to improve at this stage. On the other hand, from what I understand he pretty much trained himself pre Scott... and while that probably hasn't changed too much, I would be surprised if Scott isn't adding at least a little extra something to the mix.

    We will see though. Proof will (or wont) be in the pudding

    The improvement in his footwork was astounding during that grueling battle versus Helenius. It really is what helped Wilder stay out of major danger against the dangerous Finn.
    Awesome footwork improvement. Amazing

    Accodting to Scott he is not "improving" Wilder, just "reminding" him.

    In other words, Wilder is such an egotistical baby that you have to frame the improvements that you are making in terms of not really making improvements.

    Scuba Scott understood that the key to success is to fight other scuba divers like Helenius.

    I think Wilder was losing to Helenius until the knock out. Helenius sensed that he was beating Wilder and it couraged him more. So he started attacking more recklessly, however Wilder catched him with his right. Too bad for Helenius.

    Wilder looked worse compared to past, in my opinion.

    Scuba Scott can't improve Wilders chin. Its yet to be tested since his beating against Fury 3.

    Wilder isn’t improving at 37. Guy’s whole career is based off beating old Ortiz off the juice and Bermane Stiverne. He fought Fury 3x was stopped twice and on fair cards is 0-3 not 0-2-1.
    Wilder never fought Wlad, Joshua, Usyk, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, Chisora, and a other legit top 10 guys. Guy is a manufactured attraction. A fraud.

    He looked better in Fury 3 because Fury was so much worse from their second fight. Fury trained on pies and chips for their third fight.

    What are YOU talking about? A decade long career and his best win is an ancient contender Ortiz who was arguably robbed in their first fight with that hilarious check-up. If he's not a fraud champion, what is he?
