I used to like him quite a bit.
While I usually cheer for the boxer over the puncher, I still expected he would beat Fury (both times) and then Joshua to unify.
In my personal opinion, he changed over time, went from being a hard-hitting affable country guy in 2015 to today where he has become a very odd, seemingly unstable character who alternates between “I’m the king of the world” and playing the victim card.
I still can’t tell if it’s all an act, or if he legit has something wrong upstairs now. I am not trying to start a firestorm of laughing/hating on Wilder here, I’m just saying that after his latest conspiracy theory video, my feeling is turning more to one of legit concern. What’s wrong with this guy?
What are your opinions?
Its pretty obvious to see that Fury crushed his body and his mind. Wilder can no longer fight 3 bums a year for the WBC and get paid millions. And with wilders history of racist, anti white comments i wonder how much losing to a white man plays on his mind?
He was obviously a bit of a bell end from the start, but there has been too much smoke blown up his rear end and he's had his ego stroked way too much over the years and it has turned him in to what we see now and he is way too stupid and way too self centered to notice that all the direction and advice he has been given over the years has been for crap and he has been used like a pawn in somebody else's game.
In short he is a stupid egomaniac.
The guy just had too many idiots blowing smoke up his arse and the dumb hype about his exaggerated power also didn’t help.
This is what happens when people overrate a glorified bum.
Facts^^he was Michael grant 2.0, always said it
I guess there's a chance that it's all some kind of goof or ploy to get people to pay attention. If it's genuine though, the signs aren't good
I doubt it. Unless his brain is so severely damaged he thought it was April Fools rather than Halloween.

... the guy is OK... but, these days, all kinds of conspiracy theories are largely permitted under the "freedom of speech"...
... the guy is telling his TShirt buyers what they want to hear...
Wilder makes zero sense.... If he truly believe Fury cheated then why fire your trainer for protecting u from taking blows from a padded glove??
If he didn't want Fury rematch he should have never took the immediate rematch. Nobody would have cared, but coming out with BS as soon as the rematch clause expire is beyond pathetic.
I doubt it's at that kind of level.
I just don't think anyone is telling him what he needs to hear. Maybe they haven't done so for a very long time.
DiBella tried to arrange a conversation and was called a snake. Breland saved him and got called disloyal. Even watching the pre-fight videos for the Fury rematch you could tell that he runs that gym, not the trainer.
There doesn't need to anything mentally wrong with him. If people constantly tell you that you're great, that you do nothing wrong, that it's someone else's doing, then you'll eventually believe it. Basically, he's delusional and no-one is telling him.
Just wait for the next Tha Boxing Voice podcast. You'll see the type of sycophants he associates himself with.
This right here.
Im about 45 minutes into this interview he did. He was a corny mfer before but Fury beat him ******ed. He lives outside of reality and I think he is really struggling mentally. The thing that really amazes me are all the people in the comments that back him and think all this silly shit he is saying is legit. I have an honest question for his fans, do any of you really believe any of the shit he is talking?
Isn’t he married to a Filipino lady? They’re usually very loyal, I wonder if she’s saying anything or trying to help him through this? My thinking is Wilder’s not in need of committal to a facility or anything, but he may be bipolar and need help/medication.
Full disclosure: not a medical professional here, used to work at a state mental hospital and a lockdown unit for the criminally insane in a service capacity, so I saw and heard alot and had friends with a medical/nursing background. While Wilder’s clearly not that ill that he needs that level of care he seems to have some sort of problem, and I hope he gets helped. just my own opinion nothing more.

In my opinion he's suffered either an emotional breakdown or a psychotic break.
Not a psychotic break dude it’s not at that level yet. For his sake, I hope it doesn’t get that bad.
I'm with you. Having just listened to his radio call in, I'm thinking someone close to him needs to get involved.
The problem is, anyone who does anything he doesn't like gets fired and called disloyal or a snake. So he's surrounded by people who are too scared to act in his best interests.
I fear that his yes men will do the wrong thing by him and he'll end up as another boxing tragic tale. All the signs are there.

Fair enough. With the last few weeks of anticipated fights Wilder has been about the last thing on my mind. Do have to play some catch up
No worries, I get you. The fights over this last month thru next month are legit top of the line. I’m enjoying them aswell!
Other. You've got some catching up to do!
No he seems to be displaying signs of paranoia — claiming that Fury put metal balls in his gloves, that Breland was trying to ensure Wilder would lose, all kinds of ****.

I have absolutely no idea what this is specifically referencing but I have to say it made me laugh. Is this based on the underwhelming SoCal mcmansion purchase or other shennanies
