It's absurd to think Wilder is "too old" to improve his skills. Unless he's mentally challenged or something.

Is it time for Deontay to get a new trainer?

remember when hatton hired floyd sr for the pac fight hoping to be shaped into some defensive wizard only to get laying on his back gasping for breathe in 2 rounds?

why do people think a new trainer solves everything? Some people will never be elite technical boxers whoever is teaching them. And how often do these trainer switches work out well in established fighters? They usually look worse than ever when they change things up. Wilder is doing exactly what he shluld do with his attributes, throw bombs and hope one lands. He was seconds away from being 41-0 with that strategy.

Google it, man. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
You think Hatton got sparked by Pacquaio because he was trying to be cute defensively? Pacquaio would have KO'd Hatton every day, all day, no matter what Hatton tried to do.

Yes he should because I think his trainer is mentally challenged.
But no he shouldn't because as mentioned above, he's too hard headed he believes his own hype so much that he won't change.
Who was it? Was it Lennox that tried to give him some pointers a few years back and he wouldn't listen?
Listen, he has that bomb and to this very day it's been working for him. He has a coach that encourages it so just leave it, he has a system that works for him.
He has a few more fights left in him to make enough for himself and his family, he doesn't look like he blows money fast so he's made a good career for himself.
He's got to be the most successful one trick pony in the game. Just like some guys claim to fame and only reason to be in the game was size back in the day and nothing else, Wilder is an example of someone who just has immense power that eventually lands.
Damn shame that he couldn't bring that athleticism and power to some elite level.
