Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Had A Gun In Hand, Thinking About Suicide

[bballchump11]

So he thought about killing himself upon hearing that his daughter needs him more than ever? I was thinking it was a shame that he had to lose until now. Either what he said is true and he is an idiot or it’s false and he is trying to steal sympathy from Fury. Enjoy having your face bashed in, bruh.

Maybe him thinking about how his daughter needed him was the reason for him not killing himself. You should give him credit for not dying and turning his situation around to better his and his daughter's lives.

It's ok Wilder is too ****** to realise guns need bullets.

Bullllllllllllll sheeeeeeeeet.

He got so annoyed that fury was getting more love than him for Fury's heart breaking story that he now thinks he can just make one up for the rematch so it's all about him.

Remember TILL THIS DAYIYIYUYYYUY. He only went on that rant with radio rakeem cuz he were getting annoyed with Fury having the attention so started ranting about oppression.
Deontay is the biggest sensitive feminine lady in the sport.

If wilder is feminine then what do you call the fat pmsing suicidal big mamaluke who can’t bust g****s at 250 lbs?

Interesting how most people here can’t seem to empathize with Wilder and Fury. Statistically, only a small percentage can. Something in the range of 5% of all Americans suffer from some form of mental health issue each year. Very often, the most successful among us are hardest hit. This is mainly due to the fact that people tend to think that once they’ve “made it” their feelings of depression and general negativity will melt away. Then, once they have everything they’ve ever dreamed of, and the problems remain, the feelings of negativity and depression are magnified. I believe these guys when they talk of depression and suicidal thoughts. It takes guts to make it public. Witness the unsympathetic and judgmental comments comments here alone.

I think the “unsympathetic and judge mental” comments here actually reflect more of the people that have mental health issues than not. I mostly agree with you but I disagree with you saying that it’s only a small percentage of people that suffer with mental health issues. I believe something like 16million Americans suffer with depression alone. I agree that only a small percentage of people suffer with a severity that leads to suicidal attempts. But you will be surprised at how common suicidal ideation is. It’s compounded when combined with poverty and socioeconomical struggles, but also under reported for that very reason.

I watched the entire interview and I didn’t get the sense that he was trying to make light of it. It was more like this is a common thing for many people and we don’t have to act like Fury is special because he overcame it. If anything, it’s more heroic to fight suicidal ideation in the throws of poverty and with no apparent future in sight vs Fury’s situation. I respect those in the mud that can pick themselves up and move forward vs those in the clouds flying high with everything at their disposal and proclamations that the person has risen from the mud.

Being depressed is a normal human emotion that does not discriminate on financial status or race. None of it is to be taken lightly and shouldn’t be used as a marketing tool. Just don’t preach to me about having to overcome mountains of ******* and alcohol when there are people that are suicidal because they can’t feed their children. There are levels to everything.

Boxing aside, I wish the best for both men.

When fury used mental illness to get out of failed drug test yall soaked it up.

[millcitymauler]

Y'all get pissed off at Wilder for answering questions....


Anyway, yeah, we all suffer, it's called being a GD adult. Fury's just a ***** who cries at night. Wilder's a man who thought about it and moved on. He should be the role model here.

Ummm, who’s “y’all”?

[champion4ever]

C'mon gang! Now give me a freakin break here! His child was dying and he felt both helpless and hopeless to do anything about it. If you've never been through that kind of ordeal ideal then you would never know how it truly feel. He would have traded his own life in order to save his little girl's life.

[5000boxing]

Wilder is lying. Its just a BS story that he made up for attention Cuz it worked for fury in the last fight.

I don't know.. Don't care.. I've never had issues like that.. So I can't speak. But Wilder was basically just trying to say that everyone has problems.. Why are they glorifying Furys issues??? What makes him better than anyone else?
