Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder, 40, claims he will be fighting for 10 more years

[RingoKid]

Only thing he'll be fighting in 10 years is brain damage and child support.

He's looked pretty bad lately. But IDK - If he could somehow pull the trigger on a night to get a decent output, have a jab going... could he beat Gassiev?

I agree heavily that the mindset of my age making me feel old is what makes you really feel and become old. However that being said there is a limit especially for pro athletes and your body will slow down i think every fighter that takes care of himself and lives a clean life no drugs including alcohol, no junk food and constant exercise without balloning up in weight should enable you to stay very close to your prime until around 40 years. Mindset is key here.

For Wilder saying he is going another 10 years is hard to believe since he looked so shot and especially his mentality which made him dangerous shifted completely.

He should pursue 1-2 more big fights and hang them up, i really think he is completely done and his style is not a style that will carry into your 40s

Gassiev is there for the taking at heavyweight. Wilder however looks so shot i'm not sure what he can do and if he can even look worse than he did against Parker.

I really think Wilder is done but fighting Gassiev would maybe really the fight to make if you can't beat that guy you need to hang them up.

He can fight Patrick Korte in a fight that no one will want to watch.

Sounds like he's brain damaged.

Is it out of the realm of possibility that he can KO Usyk? No. But his chances are very very slim.

Charlie Zelenoff might even have a shot at scoring the upset in a rematch…

I'm not sure that it's an upset at this point.

I love Wilder god bless him.

Guys coo coo for coca puffs and he’s got a couple of solid KO losses to add to his record.

Oh I got it. He can box Jake Paul next.
