    I have always been a Wilder hater/critic, but I wish the guy well now. He's always taken care of his family, and he finally seems to be in a good place. He has nothing but good things to say about Chisora, and man, his new lady is a beauty! He seems like he's accepted a lot, and wants to move on positively. I like this guy.

    I like 'Bomb Squad'. He's done a lot with not a lot although I do think he is a better boxer than he is generally perceived to be. Wish him well.

    He has done a lot to boxing and gave the fans years of explosive fights where everybody just waited for the nuclear right hand . But Yes , he was not perfect

    If he softens his heart and apologized to Fury then all is good but he holds onto hatred and if he holds onto that hatred then Fury will always have his mojo which is desperatly needs back if he wants to beat Chiora

    i like Deontay...even if he cried about being oppressed and can't really fight that well. Dude look at him. He's havin a good time and I see no actual malice in him. All of his wanting a bodycount talk was just that: talk. I think Chisora is gonna beat him up. Will that be one of my 12 PPVs?

    He's finally reached spiritual awakening and become one with the Yulaverse and now they are going to feed him to that monster Chisora.

    I've heard a phrase about the carpet not matching the drapes but what about the glasses not matching the coat?

    Seems more sane than previously...

    Think he'd be delusional to think he's got a hope in hell of getting to a belt, but he kinda has to say that even if he knows he's got no chance - all part of trying to make the hype build and get some more money whilst he still can.

    Hopefully he comes out of it all in one piece, never good when a fighter gets serious health problems.

    At the same time, I'm perfectly happy that he'll probably get a pasting off Chisora and will probably still retire without beating a single contender - there's poetic justice in that.

    I always liked Wilder. Not a great technical boxer but his power, speed and timing more than often made him an interesting fighter.
    Him and Joshua deserve huge credit for rekindling fire in the heavyweight division.
    Wish him the best.

    You don't consider anyone a contender unless they are/will in the top half of the IBHOF.

    Hrgoatvic is a "gatekeeper" could only imagine the colorful language you'd use to describe Wilders status.
