I think Wilder is definitely juicing, or was at some point and has gradually tapered off. That's not due to his body type (although the weird weight loss he suffered in recent bouts is a bit suspicious), but more due to the fact that he's a top competitor in the marquee division of boxing and it'd be stupid of him not to, especially when he has so many other protective mechanisms in place (favourable judging, favourable mandatories, hometown advantage). Wilder and his team also strike me as people that would try anything to increase their chances of victory if they knew they could get away with it. It wouldn't even surprise me if we found out Wilder was loading his gloves all this time, and that was the source of his power. The way some of his opponents reacted (Lyakhovich for example) was very atypical of most fighters when they get knocked out, though that could just be due to Wilder being a genuinely freakish hard hitter. I just don't trust Wilder or his team, and wouldn't put anything past them.
No one goes quiet about that. I'm a Fury fan and accept that if he got caught he has to pay the penalty, and can no longer be given the benefit of the doubt. He was dumb as a doughnut to get caught for an old school PED like that though. Then again, his whole fitness and conditioning regime seems years behind the times, so it doesn't surprise me his juice usage would be as well.
I don't think there was ever footage of the Sconiers fight, I know there are pictures out there but according to this FightReport Wilder vs Sconiers was an off air bout along with Charles Huerta vs Felipe Cordova and Randy Caballero vs Missael Nunez. Once footage of the above two fights appears (none will as they were off-air bouts) I'll start to believe in this conspiracy.
There were camcorder recordings of Sconiers vs Donkey but Haymon made everyone who had footage of it an offer they couldn't refuse. Same goes for everyone who has had footage of William ''The Destroyer'' Deets destruction of Marglassos Wilder.
As we've formed a basis that the Wilder vs Sconiers fight was an off air bout which was not officially recorded, I'd like to say that I know you want what you said to be true but it isn't. Obviously some of the fabled camcorder videos would of been taken down by the YouTube algorithms however if the footage really existed they would of been posted and blown up on social media, or it would of surfaced years later (it's been 9 years since the fight). I'd love for the footage to exist but it doesn't or no one has made any effort to upload the footage, move on.
The whole all Haye knockdown, buzzed and stopped footage disappearance in 2009/2010 has made me sceptical about what actually exists and what doesn't. It's clear that someone with enough recources can make footage disappear like it never happened, while in fact many have seen it but time slowly but surely moves it into myth territory.
You care about him clearly, that's why you brought him up in a thread not about him and still lose sleep at night because of him.
i saw the sconiers fight on youtube way back after it happened, of course i would have downloaded it if i knew they would have scoured all over the internet deleting the footage where ever it was.
When Big Al makes you an offer you can't resist you don't resist it. Footage of one of Andre Ward's amateur bouts vs Rommel Rene which was very controversial completely vanished from existence and I know it exists for a fact because I've seen it with thine own eyes. All footage of Kovalev vs Darnell Boone I has vanished as well.
