Mail Scott On Wilder Loss: He Didn’t Do What We Trained, Father Time Is Undefeated

[jaded]

That Fighthype interview is a good one to listen to in full not just this one remark. Malik is no bs & takes accountability for the whole team coming up short & says later in the interview if Wilder thinks he should be fired he's cool with it.

My take, which is covered by Malik at the end of this interview more or less, is sometimes when you are at the upper end of the sport on the backend of ones career the $ sh^t gets ahead of the ideal sh^t & getting $1M for a tune up doesn't make sense when you can get multiples of that but vs a realer cat even if you haven't fought for 2yrs & have 5wks prep.

You gotta be great on the night no matter the situation & if you win you're amazing to fans & if you lose you ain't sh^t lol. Its not really as simple as all that. But seems like to fans you can't win tho & Malik mentions that also. Good interview overall tho.

What happened with Deontay being the most dynamic fighter in the history of boxing, having better skills than Ali and the whole HW division being ****ed and not standing any chance?

Nobody every said that about Wilder. You're asking whatever happened to something that doesn't exist. Those questions should be reserved for the heavyweight champion that lost a boxing match to an MMA fighter making his professonal debut.

To be fair, a lot of them Wilder fans said he'd beat a lot of atg heavies. Then he got beat up n ktfo twice and they more or less disappeared. A few came back and now they're all gone after that Parker domination. And good riddance

They are still around, some have joined forces with Zhang but the majority have jumped ship to Parker, already stating that AJ is ducking Parker

He would have had a puncher's chance against any heavyweight in history.

So basically the same chance he had against fighters who barely register on rankings.

I would have loved Wilder to prove that his one dimensional approach could actually work at an elite level. I'm all for boxers playing to their strengths and finding any legitimate way to win. But he never did. And he had the chances to do that with Klitschko, Joshua... they would have fought him. Everyone wanted to fight him.

Malik probably spent more time playing golf with Wilder than spend time doing training. He's more worried about AJ taking interim fights than anything else. He's been a regular fixture in this site with a weekly article expressing impatience why the AJ fight is too slow to happen. He could have hired a gymnast to train Wilder how to pivot his lanky body to fend off attacks, or something like that. Then there's the jab.

Bill Haney, for example, spends most of their earnings hiring coaches, boxers, etc. Ben Davison was even seen in Haney's corner in one of his fights. All Malik did was to count his chickens before they hatch, as someone put it. He's thinking of his percentage cut from the Saudi oil money and relied heavily on that right hand that produces magic.

Even though AJ beat him cleanly....lol
I don't mind a rematch after Parker dominated Wilder, tbf

Yeah I never bought into that. Wilder has always been very limited. He has real KO power in his right hand but nothing other than that.

Yeah, nobody except his own trainer...:

Now Malik Scott is talking about father time, what a clown. But it's exactly the type of people Wilder likes to surround himself with.

As for Fury, he's another hypejob that got beat up and exposed by an inactive 37 year old MMA fighter who had never boxed before.

Good that the Fury & Wilder con is finally over.
