Do you think Wilder will recover and bounce back?

    Breland salvaged Wilder’s chances of pursuing his heavyweight career. (Damn shame Deontay doesn’t seem to realize this.) I think Wilder will do okay moving forward, if he indeed chooses to continue. He’ll lose in the third installment to Fury, but Deontay is still a force in the division. He can still knock the socks off most.

      I wish him the best, but if I had to put money down, I'd say he won't be the same he used to be.

        Nope, Cotto came back from it.

        Problem is how Wilder is sounding now, dude is talking about conspiracies...
        He sounds mentally broken, he needs a shrink at this point.
        Dude is in total denial and will probably be agressive with and reject people trying to make him realize he got beat from pilar to post and need to go back to the drawing board PERIOD

          Speaking to Yahoo Sports, Wilder said:

          He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior and people know that I’m a warrior.

          It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform.
          I think Wilder is brain damaged. Losing the HW Title of Alabama has clearly affected him.

          If he is daft enough to take a third fight against Fury he might very well end up seriously hurt. His best bet is fight a few more lower end fighters (just take his pick from his past record) or retire.

            Bounce back? Yes he can

            Become a better fighter. Unlikely based on how delusional he is with all his excuses

              I don't think Fury will be in the sport much longer to be honest.

              Wilder can get beat again and still come back with a few good wins and take on a Whyte or Joshua.... probably the two biggest fights for him outside Fury.

              Depends on himself and his mentality, a couple KO's against top 10's can improve his cv and get him back in the mix.

                I think Fury is to him what George Foreman was to Joe Frazier. If he runs it back this year he is going to take an even worse beating especially with Jay Deas continuing as his head trainer.
