    Wilder has a tough decision to make in the 3rd fight

    come in light (215-220) lb, his usual weight and have quicker speed and footwork, however Tyson probably going to come in at 270 again will probably mean he will get bullied by Tyson again inside and in the clinch

    if he comes in heavy again at 230 he wont be bullied as much but will be slower...

      Wilder didn't appear to have changed anything from their first fight to their second, while Fury re-vamped his whole style and it paid off for him. Wilder has to be wondering which Fury he's going to face (and therefore, which to train for).

      And flip that - how will Fury prepare? The defensive slippery fighter from the first fight, or the forward-foot puncher from the second?

      But maybe the biggest choice here - how heavy will the walkout costumes be?

        Wilder just needs to chill and relax. I believe, he was more mentally fatigued than physically fatigued. Since he is no longer the champion; Then let Tyson Fury carry most of the load of promoting the fight this time by doing most of the interviews and appearances.

        Deontay can't concentrate on doing more than one thing at a time. His job is to fight; Not to promote. He just needs to focus on training. All that strain and pressure just wore his body down in the rematch. Doing both was just too much of a burden for him to carry.

        In addition, he needs a new trainer and a new promoter. Someone who is going teach him the basic fundamentals of boxing and a promoter who the public can see.

            I think that is a big issue for Wilder, Fury appears to be the type of boxer that could flip between those styles round to round if he really wanted to.

            Part of me thinks Wilder has to make a better account of himself in the third fight, but why, what would that be based on? Fury looks to be the one who can adjust as needed, if the pressure got to Wilder last time, why would that be any less now, his career is on the line. His confidence would have to be questioned at least.

            If Wilder comes back with the same team, I fear the game plan will be: hopefully don't get knocked down and lose your legs and land the right this time, if so that is a recipe for disaster IMO.

              The only two choices Wilder has to worry about are, does he bite into his mouthpiece, throw caution to the wind, and let his hands go going all in on every shot? Or does he take a knee before Fury steamrolls him?

                Regardless how heavy he comes in, his footwork is awful. He is very uncoordinated and loses his composure when hit flush. Someone needs to teach him how to actually box.

                  Wilder's biggest question to himself should be...

                  1. Do I get KTFO out again for $X? OR...
                  2. Take a MASSIVE step aside fee now, let Fury fight AJ, and then have an even more massive payday to fight AJ or Fury later.

                    I've thought the same thing before myself, seems like the perfect path forward for Wilder, gives him time to work on things, make adjustments, get his confidence back, plus he'd be doing the boxing world a solid.

                    Not sure his management sees it the same, or maybe they can't make a deal with TR. As it is Bob will be getting his slice of Fury v Wilder 3 and Joshua v Pulev, so maybe Bob doesn't see the sense in paying massive money to Wilder when he can just wait 6 months for the same fight and pay nothing, bit risky though.
