        Losing to the best shouldn't knock you down that far...

          It should if it happens repeatedly and you have no other relevant wins in years.

          Wilder can raise his rating up in my eyes if he beats a good opponent in his comeback, until then he's got work to do and when your last win was Brezeale 3 years ago that's not enough to stay in the top 3, MAYBE you can put him at 5, thats pushing it, he can move up to 3 with 1 good win though.

            I can't fault any fighter for standing up for himself. Even ones I don't like. They should be standing up for themselves. So good for him. But he walked away from the biggest paydays of his career and a chance to fight for undisputed and create real legacy. Or did he? We all know that he wasn't allowed to take those fights. Finkel and Haymon, wouldn't let him. Ok sorry, let's say for your benefit, strongly advised him not to. His career biggest paydays? That he's not got near, anywhere else yet? So my question to you G, is where was Deontay Wilder on standing up for himself there. Where was, him being the boss, and telling Finkel and Haymon, 'no actually, I'm the boss here and I will take that deal, because I'd be bloody mad not too'? Mmm the standing up for himself seems to have vanished there methinks. But to answer your question, no, it doesn't include that. Because that's a business decision and that's his prerogative. I'm talking about character flaws that make him, imo, so dislikeable.

              How is he of Jamaican "descent" when he was literally born in Jamaica and didn't move until the UK until he was a almost a teenager? There's a website called Google if you just type his name it shouldn't be that hard to find that out.

              He's a Jamaican national who obtained British citizenship he's not a native Englishman and pretty soon he will be a Portuguese citizen and probably renounce his British citizenship. He has a Jamaican accent with slight English influence just listen to him.

                Red - Hence his nationality is Jamaican and British. When he becomes a Portuguese citizen he will have three nationalities. As long as you are able to vote in a country, you have just as much right as everyone else in that country.

                  He's still not British born and doesn't talk like a native Englishman. If I go and obtain citizenship in the United Kingdom does that make me British by blood? If someone from India goes to the United Kingdom at age 17 do you really think people are going to accept him as an honorary Brit just because his country was enslaved by British at one point? Dillian said himself he got picked on because of his accent. Argos and Sizzora would agree.

                      He's a Jamaican with British citizenship just like plenty of Mexicans have American citizenship. Doesn't make them less Mexican and more American just like it doesn't make Dillian less Jamaican and more British. He doesn't talk like a Brit and he doesn't even currently live in the United Kingdom just got easy access to citizenship due to his nation once being enslaved by the UK as well.
