Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Admits There Are 'Mixed Feelings' On Fighting Again

[REDEEMER]

You must have missed the early George Foreman, who did rely on his athletic abilities much more than his boxing IQ. Regardless though, Wilder like most boxers after they age and mature, will look at skills and strategy much closer after the Fury losses. He just needs time to heal the brain and skull (takes more time than mscles). If he decides to continue I'm sure he will use more maturity and avoid all out fire-fights with big, younger guys ...

In the HW division, a knockout from a big strong guy is always a distinct possibility ... for everyone. Wilder is still as dangerous as anyone.

Foreman had boxing skills behind a jab ,Wilder doesn’t so relying on athletic ability alone is night and day , that sums this up . I didn’t miss Foreman . I was watching boxing way before boxing scene existed .

I’d still love to see him fight Joshua. I don’t see it ever happening but it’s an intriguing fight. Fury is done with him and I think Usyk makes Wilder look like a baby deer if they ever fight. The rest are up for debate.

If Deontay retired it would lose a very exciting must see heavyweight in the division full of dullards.
At least Wilder brought the excitement and the right hand, if nothing else.

At the same time, 36. If he leaves with his senses and some big $$$, then that's a win. He's not going to be the champ. At least if he recognizes that he doesn't have the fight in him at this point, or the risk/cost of continuing outweighs the benefit of moving on, that's good judgement.

Go island hopping or something, and sip some lemonades on some tropical beaches. If you're gonna be done with this, then move on to something better. Much better than dragging on in something that you don't have the fire for anymore, especially when your bank account is (or should be) full.

He should retired if he wants to keep his mental faculties, he took a bad brutal beating from fury, he wanted it and got it. Fighters are never the same after that especially at heavyweight.

what does he have to keep? he says mind-bobbling, lets his manager trick him into losing millions, and he thinks fighting random mentally ill people is an ok thing to do. his faculties might actually improve if he takes more blows to the head
