Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder is Not Considering Retirement After Loss, Says Scott

[Mike D]

Wilder showed incredible heart. Going into the fight I wasn't necessarily rooting for Wilder, but by the end I was.

But the way he was beat in these last two fights, it's going to be an awfully tall mountain to climb to get back. Especially at 36.

Hope he loses about 10 lbs of muscle. I’m impressed with his courage. He won’t ever beat fury but he could and probably will beat everyone else as long as he can still physically respond at the championship level. Any right hand he lands on anyone else in the division destroys them. Problem with wilder is he simply doesn’t seem able to be a complete fighter. He boxed perfectly in the first two rounds and after that he abandoned it and never threw left hooks at all and certainly never hooked to the body. What he practised to do he only seemed to do partially and only for a couple of rounds and then went back to being himself. I’ve never been a fan of his style, I’ve always found it downright frustrating and counter-productive….that being the case, it’s hard to not want to see him fight and produce ko’s. I’m concerned about his body seemingly breaking down…broken hands, torn biceps, busted eardrums, shot stamina etc etc. We shall see. I’m not what of these toxic people older haters but I wonder where his direction goes now. I will say this, all of you who blasted Scott were dead wrong….he DID give Deontay the guidance he needed to win but Deontay seems too stubborn to listen to it.

I think his chin might be broken after these two beatings.

he would be better off fighting Big Andy and Helenius. If he can beat them then do a fight or 2 vs AJ and then call it quits win or lose.

Hey, fighters have hated promoters before, but you know what? They do what makes business sense! PBC really screwed up matching him with Fury, especially this 3rd fight…they should have advised him not to take the 3rd fight after what Fury did to him in the first 2 (totally outboxed him in the first and destroyed him in the 2nd). PBC will do business with Matchroom, but only if they don’t have belts! If PBC hold belts (as they did before Wilder faced Fury), then forget it…they protect their champs and keep the belt in house.

Yeah your definitely right about the " only if they don't have belts " part for sure. But I can't think of any fights between those two outfits really. Before Matchroom went to America, yes there were some, but not really since. And its ******. They don't have to like each other, just learn to work with each other. Then the fans win.

After Usyk deals with Joshua, Fury defends his belt, probably against Whyte(?), Wilder vs Joshua is looking very plausible. Why not? Two big, former champions, looking to stay relevant for their few remaining years in the sport, maybe earning another shot at a title.

With this 3rd fight not needed, Wilder took undue punishment. He forced it, his fault.

He has some decent fights with Ruiz, Joyce, Hrgovic and AJ.

Wilder vs Joshua. Battle of the Slow Heavyweights!

[hitmanjosh]

Sounds like and this just me hearing this but Mark not swinging both ways! This Malik sound more and more like a punk each time I hear him, and I can name a few under cover gay fighters and one was a gold medalist.

Ideally this would happen but I don't think Hearn is going to serve up Joshua to Wilder if he gets embarrassed by Usyk again. I don't care how much everyone on here hates on Wilder, I've said it since day 1 and I still think he'd destroy Joshua. Joshua is made for this guy, big stiff robot with no head movement and bad chin. Joshua has a fraction of the heart that Wilder has, and a fraction of the chin.

[vitali1999]

Wilder will never be the same but I don't see Joshua's chin holding up to his power like Fury's did. And he'll never land on usik

Hopefully he receives more bad beatings in the ring. That racist piece of sheeit is entertaining while getting pulverised.
