      Surely he wants to prove it was the 20 kilo suit which lost him fight.

        Post-Trinidad, Vargas (and all of his bluster) was never the same. Went on as a diminished fighter to get beat 2x by Mosley and outworked by Oscar (Vargas was maybe not on their level anyway but he should’ve performed better, were it not for that one year cash out run of Winky, Quartey and Trinidad). Vargas got cooked and his strength gone. Same with Prince Naseem who was full of charisma and self belief but that disappeared after Barerra. I think Wilder will be the same. He might make a half a@sed comeback against a no hoper or a diminished show against a legit contender but then he retires for good. Wilders aura of invincibility is over.

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.

              All three of Ortiz, Povetkin and Pulev had extensive amateur experience and high boxing IQ which is why they could still compete when their handspeed and footspeed started to decline.

              Yes power is the last thing to go but you need a delivery system, if Wilder becomes too slow to land his right hand that's the day he's finished, and as he approaches 36 that day isn't too far away.

                Why are you pathetic dorks so desperate to see Wilder finished?

                LOL I swear Deontay is a great call sign for any pathetic weasel offended by the concept of a black fighter with a mouth and some balls.

                      He's with PBC doe, so there's not much to expect.
                      It's full of inactive fighters. Martin, Ortiz, Kownacki...
