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

[turnedup]

That’s haymon, I think he’s trying to do the same with Leo. These two were his first money fighters after Floyd. Leo named his kid after him and wilder has credited haymon with “saving him” so since we ain’t heard from Leo and now this me thinks haymon didn’t like how their last fights ended and is maybe advising retirement.

Can't be half-steppin in combat...Im a 30+ year veteran and have seen decorated heros who've deployed repeatedly into actual combat all of the sudden lose the "mental". Training & reaction time suffers when focus & discipline decrease. Same is true for the fight game. If his mind is saying "should I go?"...the question already been answered.

What branch?

[EternallyIll]

AJ maybe because he's mentally shot, but Usyk?

I can't see him getting hit with wilders sloppy ass right hand in a million years.

Awkward fighters like Wilder have potential to make polished fighters like Usyk look bad because awkward fighters aren't easy to train for. Styles make fights, the better boxer doesn't always win.

If he fights again he definitely has to prove something more. That right hook only worked against the right people. A more defensive side of him would be interesting to see. No one is beating Fury in the near future so I don’t mean another rematch lol, but, I’d like to keep seeing Wilder if something changes.

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.

If you know boxing, he didn't bring excitement to the division . He brought fraud. Singlehandedly the biggest fraud ever to enter a boxing ring. His record is shameful. He fought stiff after stiff after stiff. Of course he's going to knock these bums out. Your grandmother would've. I'm surprised nobody got charged for public mischief in the Wilder vs Malik Scott bout. That was an embarrassment to not only boxing but to any athlete that's competed in the amatuers and professional ranks. Sick people like Deontay Wilder need to be very punished , not glorified. Good riddance.

Deontay, you've had an excellent run. Started boxing late, placed in the Olympics, became world champion, and represented a country with one side fully supportive and another too racist to give you any credit.

You've gotten the short end of the stick in all three Fury fights. Most refs would've called the first fight, second fight with Fury's cheating-galore, and third fight with the ref's long count for Fury.

It's not your fault boxing's corrupt and people are still racist. You've already beaten Fury and would've crushed everyone else.

The people that discredit you pay to watch your fights and read everything with your name on it. They're mostly scared and lonely people anyway.
Thank you for everything, Deontay. Enjoy your family, money, and legacy, champ.

He's only got himself to blame for that with the way he manages his career.

No risks (and no I don't count Ortiz he's never done anything) and then he only fought fury because he thought he was washed up and would be an easy name to knock over.

That decision turned out to be the worst cherry pick in history.

If Wilder wants some respect back he needs to take on a tough opponent.

Hrgovic, that would do it, let's see Wilder in with hrgovic and find out if his right hand gives anyone trouble or ig a big, strong, hard punching heavyweight in his prime with ambition would be too much for him. Because i suspect it would be.

I would love to see that. Or Dubois. I would love to see Wilder against big puncher.

[champion4ever]

Wilder's right. He doesn't have nothing left to prove. He has accomplished his goals. He never got into boxing to be great or a Hall of Famer anyhow; Just to earn enough money to pay his ailing daughter's medical bills.

Deontay Wilder would go down in history as an overachiever who exceeded everyone's expectations. He's proven that he has a championship heart and a warrior's spirit. In addition, I can't see anybody outside of Tyson Fury defeating him anyhow.

He's already a multi-millionaire and made enough money in the sport. He should retire. His health and safety should come first.

[MrShakeAndBake]

Plenty of boxers for Windmill to fight... Ruiz, AJ, Joyce, White, Chisora, Usyk... I mean it is not like he fought all the competition...

[Jc8804]

I knew this dude didnt want anything to do with whyte joshua or usyk or ruiz.


he should at least fight arreola in LA and call it a career.
