I've often been a big critic of Wilder and his boxing ability on this site...... saying that, I seen a man with no quit in him last night. Fury was focused, dominant and applied pressure from the first bell...
Wilder was still swinging after taking a beating, still wanted to fight on...... he displayed an incredible chin.
Wilder is a tough, tough fighter and would need to be KO'd before he stops fighting.
He can come back and still KO most of the division.
He slips punches the wrong way too. Credit to Fury though he switched that jab up at times into a left hook and Wilder didnt know which way to turn.
Fury does mix up his punches pretty good, and he feints well. Just an awkward guy to fight all around.
The man is in his mid-30s. It's a little too late for that
If he plans to keep fighting it wouldn't hurt to try to add improvements.
He just needs to upgrade his training team, like Fury has done.
You're not being honest. The only thing Wilder turned down was fighting Breazeale on DAZN. It's not his fault Joshua lost.
If Wilder was a coward, why did he agree to fight Fury, who was considered the bigger challenge than Joshua? You're not making any sense.
Pretending Wilder knew AJ was gonna loose is stupid he turned down the fight there's no argument that isn't bs you could only argue he was right to do so but not that he didnt.
Your not being honest the Fury that fought Seferi and Pianetta wasn't considered a big Challenge than AJ.
Clearly was attempted cherry pick and one too far.
I can't stand Wilder, but if you really do take this much glee in someone getting beaten then your life must be pretty pathetic man.
Yes Wilder was protected and overhyped. Yes he was ducking Joshua. Yes he's a terrible boxer. But no. He's not a coward at all. He took his beating like a man.
I bet you wouldn't fight Fury if he had one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed, so stfu with the "coward" stuff. It's beyond pathetic.
I watched the fight back and only felt sympathy for Wilder.... I took no pleasure in seeing him be outboxed and beaten like that.
I did find it in myself to admire his fighting spirit despite being beaten in every second of every round...... its called empathy, and I wish more people would exhibit this trait.
Pure fear in the coward’s eyes. Had the same look when he got the DAZN offer. Wilder got walked down and smashed to bits. His corner saved him from a life altering beating
Post from your normal account talking about cowardice pfft how
Ironic. Jumped up spastic.
No respect lost for Wilder. He kept on fighting, and gave a good fight. But boy is Fury a great fighter.
Both guys are what makes heavyweight great. Not that guy (G)aj
You could see the fear in the cowards eye’s when he realised he was up against a fully fit Fury this time who was taking the fight to him. This is a coward who turned down $120 million for undisputed. He cherry picked Fury first time thinking he was done and it’s backfired twice. He said he wanted a body on his record. Bum Squad deserves no respect from anyone he’s a protected fraud who got exposed and it’s really a shame we didn’t see him laid out cold. He’s just lucky his corner saved him from being a body on Fury’s record

He has the heart of a warrior no question.
Needs to upgrade his skill set if he ever hopes to be competitive with Fury, though.
The way he was pulling straight back from punches was amateurish. He can't fight going backwards.
He slips punches the wrong way too. Credit to Fury though he switched that jab up at times into a left hook and Wilder didnt know which way to turn.
To be honest, i would love to see him in non title fight against Martin, Kownacki, Ruiz, Miller or something. Just to see how can he come back from here.
Because he can`t beat Tyson Fury and he won`t.
If Wilder was a coward, why did he agree to fight Fury, who was considered the bigger challenge than Joshua?
Because...
A) They saw Fury looking like **** against Seferi and Pianeta and thought they could opportunistically cherry pick an out of shape washed up cokehead who was calling himself lineal champion (the first time)
B) They saw cruiserweight Cunningham put Fury on his ass
C) Fury is usually looked at as a pillow fisted low volume fighter. A relatively good stylistic match up for Wilder in theory because it means he should get a full 12 rounds to look for his shot without having to worry about return fire. "perfect for 12 rounds vs perfect for one second"....Wilder admitted this is what he thought about the match up.
It turns out they made a grave error of judgement on all counts and got played by Fury who was clearly lulling them into a false sense of security all along.
Pure fear in the coward’s eyes. Had the same look when he got the DAZN offer. Wilder got walked down and smashed to bits. His corner saved him from a life altering beating
He was stunned and shocked....... fear? I seen him throwing even when getting beaten.
Fury dismantled him and he did not stop fighting at any point..... that shows courage and bravery to me, not sure what you seen but I think your hatred for him blinds your judgement.
He looked really angry when the towel was thrown in. That says it all.
He was also no longer throwing meaningful punches and was moving away from fury. He’d gone into survival mode by that point in the fight. He’s definitely tough and has heart, but the fight was beaten out of him. He didn’t quit, but he’d pretty well quit trying to win.
Stop it, he ducked AJ. He would have made more fighting Brezeale on Dazn as part of that deal. He’s a coward who turned down 120 million. He fought Fury after Fury looked diminished after coming off his layoff and it backfired.
You're not being honest. He turned down a 3 fight 100 million deal for Breazeale and two Joshua fights because he didn't see any reason to fight Breazeale on DAZN. If he was going to consider DAZN, it would only be for Joshua. Joshua then lost before a Joshua only deal was ever presented.
Heading into last night, Fury was rated higher than Joshua in the most respected ratings. How can you call Wilder a coward for fighting the tougher challenge? Doesn't make any sense.

I agree..... Joshua is very focused and constantly looking to improve.... he knows he is not the finished article and will only get better.
I don't know if Wilder has the same mindset? I don't think he will go away and work on his boxing honestly.... he's been relying on that ight hand for over 40 fights and is nearly 35 now..... can he really work on boxing now?
I don't even think Fury has Joshua's mindset 'But THEY both have great mindsets' DIFFERENT but great.
Wilder has got to bounce back quick, and take some positives from the fight 'He has to be back in the gym within the next 3 weeks - 1 month'.
Wilder is a multi-talented athlete, he could of played at a high level in basketball 'Surely those transferable skills, if he really focused/applied himself could improve his boxing game'
Wilder has to be willing to DO things in training which make him uncomfortable, or challenge him technically 'The raw materials are there such as courage/gameness'
Wilder can improve technically, if he is willing to put in the work 'Not saying he will SHOOT his RING IQ through the roof but? That was from a technical perspective, not anywhere near a elite level performance from him last night' It was very bad.
It will be interesting to see how he reacts from this defeat 'Joshua was smiling, even stayed in New-York to see the sites'.
Note: Team Wilder has 30 days to initiated a rematch, so we will find out within 1 months time 'I was made up Tyson Fury won, but yes I did watch the fight as a neutral'
Never questioned his toughness, even his biggest haters probably never doubted his toughness it was the severe LACK OF SKILLS that kinda kept me off the Bandwagon even as an American. Yeah I enjoy watching him because he can deliver knockouts but as someone who grew up watching and Admiring Great SKILLED BOXERS...watching Wilder is very frustrating as well as a fan of the sport overall
Hard Headed Stubborn Guy and you can tell Mark Breland and especially Jay Deas kinda kisses his ASS so they won't get fired so they can continue to get paid I guess. He need honesty in his corner, he needs more passion in his corner. Joel Diaz, Teddy Atlas, Ronnie Shields somebody that will light a fire under him but also be HONEST with him. Even when he does Pad Work with Jay Deas during training Camp and Work Outs it is ZERO Fluidity in them...
Fury has way more "Rhythm" than Wilder, way more Fluid despite being Taller and Heavier...
Honesty is now considered "HATING" in this ERA and that is absolutely hurting the current generation "Millennial's" the most hard headed sensitive Generation EVER! I can't speak for other countries but in America now, honest is looked down upon so how can people improve at what they do when people can't be honest with them about WTF they need to improve upon
You can't even tell people to get in better shape in this ERA or else that is "FAT SHAMMING" I mean WTF!
You're not being honest. The only thing Wilder turned down was fighting Breazeale on DAZN. It's not his fault Joshua lost.

Yeah...... no way he wanted to stop fighting...... his heart and determination can't be questioned.
You sure? Everyone on here who's never even had tape on their fists is calling him a coward and a bum.
Couldn't agree more though. Was a fan of both fighters before the match, and I'm a fan of both fighters after the match.
I think Wilder goes down as a contemporary great. Meaning not the best of ever but great in his era. Tyson on the other hand is an atg.
