    Wilder fans... how do you justify continuing being a fan

    I’m quite curious. After all the bs he said after the fight, the fact he was exposed as a hypejob. How do some of you continue to justify being a fan. Especially with all his conspiracies, firing Mark Breland, accusing him of cheating and a whole bunch of unethical stuff I’m interested to hear how you can be fine still being a fan?

    I'm a fan of Wilder for the entertainment value he brings to fights. I'm not a fan of his excuses and ignorance but I expected that when he lost due to his obvious lack of intelligence. It's hard to say he is a hype job considering the consensus #1 heavyweight is the guy he lost to. At that rate how can anybody call him a hype job because he lost to the best in the division.

      I am not a huge fan of Wilder's; however, how was he exposed as a hypejob? Does losing to Fury make him a hypejob?

        Fury is my fave fighter of all time, but I have been a Wilder fan for 9 years. Very entertaining fighter, has incredible power, beats anybody else, just Fury is such a hard head to head, match up for him style-wise. Nash out.

          Was Fury the consensus #1 before he fought Wilder? I don't believe he was. He was ranked lower top 10 if memory serves me right.

              Luis Ortiz X2, at the time my world number 3, would school Joshua, even now. Nash out.

                Luis Ortiz is a 50 year old man, come on, Wilder fans hype up those wins too much

                  The only reason Wilder fought Fury was Fury was ex world champ ( and so called lineal champ) and Fury looked like a total crap in 2 his comeback fights.

                  Cherrypick went wrong.

                    Oldtiz was no more than 47 at that point. Even today, he's still a hot Cuban prospect. Nash out.
