Comments Thread For: DiBella: Wilder's Career is On The Line in Fury Trilogy - And He Knows It

[YoungManRumble]

That's a quote from DiBella, who sometimes is all over the place in his talking. Likely talking about the Deontay staying quiet tactics.

Yeah after watching the video it makes more sense. He really does have a strange way of speaking.

This will be the end of Deontay Wilder. Once you lose it, others see a way to beat you. He will mentally become unraveled as he gets demolished during this fight. The guy has severe psychiatric problems. He is *toast*.

[Corelone]

It looks like he couldn't come up with a good ending to his story. The headline was weak, every fighter's career is on the line in every fight. Barring mismatches, drugs and things. Wilder can't outbox Fury for those skinny legs. All Wilder has is the bomb and Fury is going to climb on him like a 300 pound jockey, if he can.

[markusmod]

Styles make fights, Fury is all wrong for him.

I still see Wilder v Joshua as a 50/50 fight, and I'd expect Wilder to KO most of the others in the division.

I don't rule out a Wilder KO to be honest.

But not every fighter gave 30000 reasons for the loss. Everything from loaded gloves, spiked water, traitor coach, heavy suit, drunk referee, etc.

If he is now dominated again, it will look really bad for him from a mental standpoint, because he gave a mountain of reasons for the first loss.

I agree with Lou that wilders career would be over.

He's 36 and his style is not one that is going to age well, he's not a Hopkins or Wlad who can fall back on technical nous when his athleticism starts to decline.

I just don't see Wilder coming off a second clobbering by fury, coming back and building up winning eliminators vs the likes of Filip Hrgovic and Andy Ruiz and Joe Joyce (which would be his best wins btw) and coming back to challenge for titles in a couple of years aged 38

I think he's done unless either the WBC pull shenanigans or he gets thrown a bone. Stranger things have happened especially as the WBC love protecting him for some reason so I wouldn't be THAT shocked if he beats Luis Ortiz 4, 5 and 6 and is suddenly mandatory again.

Lou is right about almost everything 'im still pulling for wilder .

You never can, Wilder has a punchers chance against anyone.

Even if he loses Wilder can still face Ruiz, Sanchez, Martin, winner of Kownacki and Helenius, Michael Hunter, etc.

The issue wouldn't be him having fighters to fight, it would be his ego even after losing. He wouldn't fight someone like Whyte, who let's be honest is a bum but a bum that would get him more money than all those guys that you named above. But anyways he has been known to turn down bigger money for less. So it wouldn't shock me if he does that again.

The WBA would rank him, they are now in bed with the PBC more than the WBC, he would be given a shot at one of their baby belts (Regular, interim, Gold) that the PBC seems to be parading around a lot these days. And then the internet would be flooded by the "Anthony Joshua doesn't want the smoke" hourly videos....Like they are doing now with Dillian Whyte and Charles Martin (The same Martin that had a final eliminator with Hrgovic but pull out with an "Injury")... Hrgovic is still looking for an opponent and Martin is ranked number 2 if i remember correctly by the IBF.
