    Is Deontay Wilder DONE?

    I think we might never see him fight again.

    He's never had a period of inactivity like this, both inside and outside the ring, he turns 36 later this year, think about that, it's not like he's an intelligent boxer who is going to be able to fall back on veteran tactics when he's past his physical prime.

    I think we may have seen the end of the bronze bomber, I don't think he's got it in him anymore.

    Seems like it even though LDBC still thinks he's the #1 HW. Each side has their delusions but this has to be the worst.

    Don't get me wrong I think Wilder should have won the first fight, but totally lost the second one and if he was ever coming back he should have done it by now. I was actually hoping we'd see a third fight with him somehow getting smarter and somehow pulling off the KO, but at this point I'm being delusional haha.

      Far from it, he is 35 and power is the last thing that goes. But am more worried about his mental state. Physically I don’t think he is done, although I heard his hands are in a bad state, you look at someone like Ortiz, Pulev and Povetkin and they still fighting at the higher level even in their late 30s, because this era isn’t that great.

      As long as he is mentally fit then I don’t see why he cannot get back in the ring. His team owe that man a lot of millions (At least 50ms) for using him like a slave. Making that man turn down a guaranteed payday for an asskicking and lesser pay.

        Why would that be on his team... Is he not a man now to make his own decisions..?

            They made him turn down guaranteed money. They need to get him fights that would make him make up that loss.

              I'm afraid that Tyson Fury took his soul.

                Wilder is the biggest scam in boxing history. When you get exposed, you done.

                  He might not be done physically but judging by the comments he's been making, it seems to me that he shouldn't get into that ring anytime soon. Boxing could be deadly and if xou get in there and your mind isn't right, you might get permanently damaged in there. I still hope he gets his life in order somehow and finds the right attitude and if he ever fights again, to fight with the right mentality and mental preparation.
