    Foreman, arguably one of the hardest hitters of all time, once offered to train Wilder but things didn't work out.

    Could Foreman have Wilder make minor adjustments to make him a force to the division more than he already is?

    I think Wilder is too old and started too late. He can make minor adjustments, but he won’t improve vastly. He is a physically talented opponent, and he looked pretty good in training camp with Malik Scott throwing straighter punches and nice combinations. All of that went out the window against Fury. It takes years to turn new skills into muscle memory. I also don’t think he is humble enough want to learn new skills.

    Nah it's pointless.

    Wilder does his own thing and Jesus "Hands of Stone" Christ himself couldn't help him because he doesn't listen.

    The crossguard that Foreman uses would be useless against Fury.

    I still fancy Wilder vs Parker.
