This is the fight where Fury's hands were supposed to only be halfway in his gloves This content is protected
Because Wilder is a broken man. I generally despise calling a fighter mentally broken after a loss because in most cases the fighter's behavior doesn't merit that accusation, but for this particular case I think Wilder's behavior justifies the allegation. We hear it all the time, but I think this man is genuinely broken now. He simply cannot process or cope with his defeats to Fury.
Ali won the fight, but it probably helped give him Parkinson's and prematurely ended his life. Throw in the Frazier and Norton fights.
Coming from the guy that slurps all over Mexico's answer to Lance Armstrong lmao.. If the gloves are suspect why doesn't Wilder take Fury to court then? He won't because he knows he'd lose & is talking pure BS.. he's just a Grifter jumping on his own fan trains delusional narratives because it's those idiots who pay his bills .. so he flies with their ridiculous fanboyism & cope mechanisms
It's disturbing how many people hang on to every bumbling word of Wilder. Seems like he's really captivated the self styled "entrepreneur" and "wisdom" crowd. These people are like cultist zombies. The Fury fights were so much more to them than boxing fights.
I think this is just human nature, coupled with Wilder not having great media coaching. When I was 14 I was the best guitarist in my school. When I met other guitarists around the age of 15, I told myself that my school had worse teachers (despite me being self-taught), that other people had more time to practise, that only people with no lives would practise enough to be that good. The fact was they weren't just playing the same Green Day and White Stripes songs in their spare time, and resting on their laurels after nailing the rhythm parts of Panama and Heartbreaker. They were spending most of their spare time getting better. I didn't have that discipline in me, and I made excuses to myself. In Wilder's case, multiply this by a thousand. He's a talented boxer, in global terms, with an unreal punch, who was rarely troubled in his rise to 40-something-and-0. He probably knew he wasn't elite on some level, but nobody had any concrete evidence to the contrary and he was knocking out everybody who dared challenge the idea in his mind, reinforced by dozens of victories and dozens of KOs, that he was unbeatable. I think he's still going through the awkward, embarrassing period of realising he's not the best, and trying to justify it not just to himself, and his friends, but the world. I think he lacks the maturity and the media training to just hold his hands up and say that his (very, very impressive) one trick wasn't enough to get him to the very top. I still have him about 3-4 in the world right now though - like I say, it's a very good trick.
