    His image is the same as it always was to me. A underskilled HW with great power, that had a carefully built career.

      He never had anything beyond the big shot. To be fair, they made an incredible career of such a limited fighter. Credit to those around him.

      So what do you do now? Exactly what you did before. Pick the right fights for him. Build him up into the baddest man on the planet with a very careful list of victims. He's going to need two.

      But at 34 it might just be easier to take the two huge fights he'll still be able to get and make good money from. And hope he lands a right hand.

      They won't be as big as if he rebuilds first but he may not have the 3 years he needs to rebuild and make the big fights.

        People need to take into account that Fury is the most skilled HW. Even if he does add things to his game Fury gonna always be a problem

          He should change his training team. Shills like Jay Deas won't get him anywhere.

            Get a new trainer and KO joshua if you want a fury trilogy, get his confidence back first.

              Did Wilder have a great image? Most people considered him a joke for a long time, nobody considered his power to be a joke though. Not a lot of guys doing to Wilder what Fury did to him tonight. Maybe none.

                Is there are no more blow level Hooper's. Tyson late out the blue print on how to beat him so now everyone has a chance.

                  He will be OK, take some time off, heal up, figure some things out, likely will fire Mark Breland as his Trainer

                  Made a lot of damn money tonight so after a few days he will be fine I'm sure. The man was never suppose to even make it this far and have that much success lets be honest. No Real Boxing Skills, took up boxing just to be a Journeyman to feed his Children he is the ultimate overachiever and even in getting his ass WHOPPED he showed why he was able to do it because he does have Heart and he is TOUGH

                  No Shame in losing to Fury because you lost to one of the VERY BEST in your Divisions and not to some Soft Touch Journeyman

                  LETS be honest here, Wilder is never going to acquire the Level of Boxing SKILLS that Fury has because those things you learn at a young age and it becomes natural to you from doing it so much all those years

                  Like after Ali embarrassed Foreman you kinda just go a different direction and rebuild, or he can go for the rematch and just cash out knowing that he will likely lose again but will get paid a lot of money. Maybe fight Charles Martin next that would be a nice fight to start the rebuilding process against

                    But it was tonight that fact smacked Wilder in the face. before he figured if its not broke don't fix it since it got him this far. But now he has no choice but to develop other weapons. and he doesn't have the right trainer to accomplish that. Fire the trainer should be step 1

                      Breeland knows boxing.

                      And how do you tell a guy who lives by the saying ''I only have to be perfect 1 % of the time.'' or some shlt, that he has to change ?
