Fury should train him. He already gave him a pretty extensive first lesson last saturday.

This is an experienced fighter, he's been in training camps with Klitschko, Haye, Manny Steward, Adam Booth and other experienced camps.
Some of you put to much emphasis on trainers, it's fanboyish.
There isnt a trainer in the world who can give him more talent
Wilder needed a simple adjustment to outbox and KTFO Fury.
He only needed to punch lower and let Fury fall into his punches.
Fury kept ducking under Wilder's punches and yet his corner kept telling him to do the same thing over and over. No adjustments whatsoever.
He needed to work the body with that stiff jack and he needed to punch lower and upwards after feinting upstairs.
Fury would have kept falling into that right hand and left hook all night long.

Accept his limitations and go for a knockout when fighting Fury (again) or even Joshua - a bit more intelligently of course. At this stage he can't change and it would prob do him more harm than good. He's relied on the way he is throughout his career and has come pretty far with his limited skillset anyway.

Freddie Roach did a decent job of a late career style change with Cotto but obviously theres better tools to work with there
But still, if i was him i'd go with roach.

Forget overcoming your limitations at the age his is and just accept he is limited. He has devastating power, thats it, thats his whole game as proven by keep getting outboxed and losing rounds all the time. I think Wilder is doing all can, hes just not very good. But from what ive always heard he isnt very discaplined in training camps and doesnt do certain things and isnt willing to learn but just keep relying on his power.
