    First time post.

    Just because you don't see the need to express intense levels of dislike for the man, doesn't mean other people cannot / shouldn't. There have been a lot of villains in boxing, but on the surface level of it - I can't think of too many that have come across as much of a ***** as Wilder at times. He lost a lot of respect from me when he started having a go at Fury over his mental health struggles and bringing up when he was using cocaine and the rest. For me some things you don't delve into and thats one of them. It's akin to if Fury talking about Wilders daughters issues......

    Wilder goes on about killing someone in the ring, how is that in any way something to be cheered on? Men have died in the boxing ring and it's a ****ing tragedy, I wonder what Wilder would think if his son was killed in a ring? Chatting that sort of **** just isn't cool.

    Reading Fury's book, he mentions that before the first fight him and Wilder got on pretty well, but after the fight Wilder just never really spoke to him again. Fury wished him a merry christmas and just got no reply from Wilder. Now I'm not saying Wilder owes Fury a response, but it's pretty clear that Fury and some of the other top heavyweights all get on / respect each other behind the scenes. But Wilder does strike me as someone who none of them particularly like. Have they all got it wrong, or is Wilder actually a really nice lad behind the scenes?

    Thats not even to mention all the pathetic excuses and **** he talked after the second fight, taking credit away from what was an incredible performance from Fury that night. Wilder had a chance to somewhat redeem himself this week at the press conference and chose to be silent, ok cool - if he's going for the 'silent assassin' thats fine. The thing that makes it more cringeworthy is that immediatley after the press conference, he runs off squeling to anyone that would listen about his paranoid theories and then trashing Whyte and Joshua.

    For me it's really not hard to see why a lot of people really do not like Wilder. He has few redeeming qualities (publically) and generally comes across like a ****ing *****, but at the moment he has nothing to back it up. I am a big Fury fan, but I used to quite like Wilder a few years ago, however I now really quite dislike him and find him rather oderous. Personally, I think Fury ends up walking him down within 6 rounds this time and we don't hear much from Wilder ever again.

    Wilder had three options

    Take step aside money - guaranteed money

    Take a warm up fight - guaranteed money

    Force the rematch - guaranteed money but losing out on two other options of incomes

    It makes me wonder if this is all just power moves by Al Haymon to try and get a stronger chess piece back on the board.

    Malik Scott will be hoping that it does go ahead - he's a complete charlatan who is desperate for his commision.

    If he was really interested in being a trainer, he wouldn't only be seen "training" his friend (possible lover). They are accomplices who conned the public. I remember some guy on here telling me that the "left hook", which was a tap on the head, was the punch that truly KO'd Scott.

    Some people are so dumb.
