I personally don't remember anyone getting such a complete meltdown after losing a fight.
Wilder made Foreman look like a gracious loser in comparison.
Tyson post Douglas? He was still good for some years after but never regained the heights of the 80s despite still being pretty young.
Not to mention the jail stints and ear biting that followed.
What happened with McCall was really sad, it was clearly deep mental health issues and he shouldn’t have been allowed to continue in a sport where he accumulated trauma to the head.
Wilder on the other hand is just a massively sore loser, which is hilarious.
Oh yes, I totally agree, and I would also add that his desperate attempts to come up with ever more fantastic, self-exculpating reasons seem to be a form of mental instability, that should have been noticed when he was a kid, and treated. The kind of kid who tells the teacher that the dog ate his homework. But he never grew out of that phase.
In fact, in this matter, he's like "a kid who never grew up".
I'm not sure we can call it a Wilder melt down, I think most of us could of predicted all these crazy excuses and blaming everybody but himself. He has made excuses in fights where he has not exactly shown but won by KO. Unless he sparkles there is excuses.
Dont forget after the 1st fight there was excuses about injury, illness, baby oil, biased ref and gypsy magic. So that was after a draw, we could imagine he would take a loss even worse.
He's a narcissistic ego maniac. Taking defeat graciously was never guna happen.
And he fought while been pregnant
Amir Khan and the man in the black hat was better
The man in the hat was an unauthorized IBF official messing around with live scorecards then got in the ring to take pictures with Peterson
Pure corruption
Not a melt down
& Peterson was on PEDS got stripped of a belt because of it.
dirty dirty corrupt game
Judge payed off
Khan got shafted.
:op:

Naz was pretty bad. To quit in you're mid to late twenties just because you could not take a loss was pretty poor. He should have been fighting the likes of Morales Mani Marquez. Like they say it's the way you come back from defeat that shows the real champion quality.
Naz did come back and had a fight, then retired.

James Butler sucker punching Richard Grant after he lost a decision. Broke Grant's jaw. The plot thickened when Max Kellerman tried to defend him by saying he should not be permanently banned from boxing. As it turned out, Butler was Kellerman's brother's roommate and a short time later murdered Kellerman's brother with a hammer to the head.

Pacman and Lomachenko far worse
