Wilder wants a 4th Fury fight

Wilders an imbecile. Makes up whatever pops into his pea brain to justify his losses.

 

I dont.

 

This doesn't make sense because an AJ fight would be more lucrative and generate more interest for him at this stage, rather than fighting a man that he's already fought three times. Wilder-Joshua is at worst the 3nd most anticipated fight at heavyweight (after Fury-Usyk and Fury-Joshua) and by some distance over whatever is 4th.

It's obvious from the interview that Wilder hates Fury to his core and wants to fight him again so that he can do more damage to him, ideally killing him and avenging his defeats to the only man who beat him.

This suggests that Wilder has mentally recovered from the defeats to the point where retirement is no longer on his mind, and furthermore that Wilder has a great amount of courage and residual pride. Many high level fighters would not have rematched someone who brutalised them, let alone want to rematch someone who brutalised them twice in a row and would be heavily favoured to do so again.

 

Everyone in this thread bashing Wilder ... YOU ALL had "puckered up buttholes" when Fury barely beat the count in their last fight and then went down for the second time in the same round.

You WERE ALL watching the clock waiting for that bell to save Fury.

Fury even admitted after their last fight he pondered retirement because he thought he had gotten brain damage from Wilder's punches in fight three.

Personally, I'd rather Wilder fight some other guys. But their fights won Fight of the Year honors and broke a live gate receipt record in Vegas. And Fury has five knockdowns and Wilder has scored four over Fury. So, there will always be an audience if they decide to do it again.

And each time they do ... the chances of Fury not being able to get up after one of those knockdowns is a real possibility.

Marquez went down four times against Manny in their first three fights. People groaned when Fight #4 was announced. But it wasn't until fight #4 that Marquez finally left Manny face down on the floor.

You just never know.

 

Better for Fury a Wilder IV than a Joshua I. Boxing is full of surprises.

Wilder is like one of these kids at the fairground that won't get off the waltzers.

 

Yeah, if nothing else, Wilder is absolutely driven (insane) in his belief that he can get to Fury and right all those wrongs if he just has enough time in the ring with him. He's a little 'cuckoo' over it. Money and fame are the last things Fury represents to him at this point.

Got to respect it, though, if not his crazy mental gymnastics (which have owed something to the hangers-on in his ear and how impressionable he is).

 

That was a fine missive, by the way, @ShortRound. I admired the writing, especially the last paragraph.

 

Wilder you lost fair and square move on and accept it. Other good fights can be made without fury, move on.

 

Because you can't run up your IQ point level by beating on cripples and paying friends to take dives.

Maybe he does have a dent in his head.

Good grief. Exactly the kind of lunacy I was referring to here;

Guy's brain is deep-fried at this point.
