    Wilder still got life in him and still has good fights out there for him if he wants them. Glad he hasn't retired just yet.

      Since Ortiz was his one and only decent accomplishment..........doesn't that make Ruiz a "living legend" as well?!? Guess the world needs Ruiz as well....

        Wilder decided to continue fighting when he saw his statue rise.

        The real problems occurred after he saw Tyson Fury rise.

          The division is really heating up again so I’m glad he is sticking around. Not sure what he has left after that amazing trilogy but the division is better off with this character in it whether he’s talking miffing off the Hearn fans, whether he’s speaking on social issues, whether he’s blanking fighters with one shot, or fighting a losing battle going out on his shield the man is pure boxing entertainment

              It’s possible we haven’t yet seen the best of Wilder.

                  The people of Alabama have so little to celebrate, it's no wonder the put up a statue of Deontay Wilder

                    It was a pretty cool statue.

                      I don't know what's wrong with Wilder?? He should have been wanting to fight AJ/Usyk and other top-10 fighters. Was a close-ish 3rd fight against Fury. That's one thing you can say about AJ - he loses and it doesn't stop him, he still wants to fight the top guys and prove himself. I don't get how you can be a fighter and then not fight outside the ring?? Losing is part of any sport. If you never lose - it's because you don't fight enough good people (see my signature).

                      All these guys lose fights at amateur level for a reason - they don't get to choose who they fight there.

                      Wilder needs to fight Usyk - Usyk wants the fight. Why not fight for those belts??
