Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: ?I lost my confidence... but it's back?

did the sports psychologist address the excuses he made after the 2nd Fury fight?

His failure has been a failure of his coaches in my opinion. They should have beat it into his head over and over for years that boxing is not gladiator type stuff. Sure the knockout shot is the knockout shot, BUT you need to set up shots and this is the sweet science. All his talk about dying in the ring and killing peolle and all of that crap potentially has been his downfall.
Mayne it was his only avenue to his millions, but the ceiling is relatively low with that mindset.

Found another one

He called the 1st fight after trashing the ring and lineal championship, only to look like as.ses trying to cherrypick a semi retired Fury. Then luckily got a draw. Commenced to get his @ss whooped the next 2 fights. As for your claim he never ducked anyone, lol...its easy to do that when you don't make offers to anyone. After stepped up, get got his sh.it pushed in. End of story.

He tried to fight AJ. Joshua asked for 50mil, was granted 50mil and Joshua turned the fight down.

the heavyweight era as I remember it at the time was Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Ortiz.

wilder fought Ortiz twice when he didn’t have to. First fight was super tough for him and he chose to run it back.

he fought Fury, was lucky to get a draw, and ran that back too when many fighters would have taken the draw and skipped town.

He lost to Fury, truthfully all 3x. That’s boxing. You win and you lose. He gave fury a lot of hell in that trilogy, dropping him in multiple fights. Wilder was not a duck by any means. He took tough fights when he had a way out of them, and he got my respect for that.

I want to see Fury Wilder 4: No more triggers

Seriously though. Hope Wilder wins against a few bums and then retires with his brain intact.

Shamarian Snider is from a gym in my area and he KO’d Wilders opponent in 2017… and then got KO’d by the 175er Deon Nicholson that in the co-main of this card at cruiserweight a year later.

Wilder is done at the top level, but if he struggles with this guy, he shouldn’t fight anymore

It's not about confidence Deontay, it's about footwork, defence and skills!

No, he chose the OJ Sim approach instead: deny, deny, deny!

How is he gonna get his confidence back if the keeps wearing women's j-e-welry??

The offer to AJ has been proven to be bs.

Enlighten us all on those tough fights he took? Ref saved him in the 1st fight vs 50yo Ortiz, fight. He HAD to save face. He HAD to rematch Fury after getting a gift draw.

What tough fights during his title run did he take besides those 2? Spizlka, Molina, Brezeale? Lol

Ortiz. Ortiz 2. Fury. Fury 2. Fury 3.

he didn’t have to take any of these. He took Ortiz 1 and it was great and he got beaten up a bit before coming back for a KO. Fury he got super lucky to escape w a draw. Cowards move on and don’t do rematches. Haney never rematched Loma. Kambosos never rematched Teofimo. People take their draws and run. Deontay made it a point to double back. TOUGH FIGHTS.

If he can’t pull the trigger than he should stay retired. Blowing this guy out does nothing but get him back under the lights. I expect a quick KO. If things go as expected he should look into a sturdy journeyman with some boxing skill like that Guido guy. A winnable fight against a guy who is big with some skill. I just don’t see it going well when he steps up. He’s been sleeping under silk sheets for too long…
