Whoever he adds needs to emphasize not to skip leg day!

Don't forget about the 45-pound Black Panther costume that weakened his knees!!!

Lol.. The media ran with that story.. Wilder was talking to a friend, an every media outlet in the world reported that Wilder was saying this ish! Wilder didn't say that to a cameraman.. This is a media trick to assassinate his character... But, have they covered any of Glove gate? Lmao.. No! Was Ricky Hatton caught helping Fury in the first fight! Yes!!! Pulling the left glove down. The same left glove that he cheated with against Hammer and got caught.. Lol. old Media and these racist crack me up how obvious it is Fury Cheated! He cheated vs Wladamir.. He got caught lying about it.. This man got massacre by Otto wallin, a c level bar fighter.. Then he fights Wilder again.. An goes super saiyan??? Smh! No one cares that Fury is a dirty cheating p.o.s! Look how swollen his palms are after the fight??? Shame on America for still being so racists! Booing our own fighter at the weigh in.. As soon as Wilder Knocks Furys head off.. I hope when he defends the belt again he makes everyone, all challengers come to Alabama! *** the money and racist azz Vegas! I bet he won't be booed in Alabama or my state.. Florida! An we will clean up u hoez at the weigh in if u dare to show!!! Lmao. What fighter meets the president, an the pope, talks to tons of kids at school.. and still gets booed and cheated by his own countrymen! only A black fighter in America! Because the brits won't allow u to bad mouth AJ!

Yep, those two costume designers.

I think Roach and Marvin would really help Wilder but it might be too late.

I agree with what wilder had to say. All of a sudden Mayweather jr says he can help wilder beat fury and wants some of the action now, when before he wanted nothing to do with wilder and had this jealous dismissive attitude towards him. Now that the 0 is gone, oh lets be friend's... Smh

I don't think Foreman has any bad intentions wanting to help. You never know, he is a used car salesman. He can bs with the best.

Foreman went through the same denial pride demons that wilder is facing now. Foreman even admitted he was blaming the water, his trainers, and everything u der the sun as to why he list to Ali. He said it took him years to come to accept that he lost because he wasn't the better man that night. We are seeing this with wilder... His costume was too heavy and wore his legs out before the fight, he had other comications coming into the fight and his leg was never right (he said this in the ring after the loss), he lost because his corner threw in the towel, now just recently he had surgery because he tore his bicep during the fight... Now, he did say he makes NO excuses being interviewed after the loss but his brain and ego is still trying to process the loss...

If wilder wins the 3rd fight, foes there have to be a 4th? Would wilder take a 4th before trying to fight AJ? Would fury retire if he lost? Would fury go off the deep end if he lost? A lot of what ifs but that's what makes this fun!

I feel like Wilders psyche is completely shattered. I dont think he truly believed in himself up until not too long ago . Just to have it shot down in flames real quick . If wilder fought fury the way he fought stiverne in the first fight he wouldnt get completely destroyed I dont think. Wilder has a decent jab when he uses it but I've only really seen it effectively used in that one fight ( stiverne 1 ) . But I dont think he can beat fury unless he catches him cold with 1 punch . Fury is in that head now and even if wilder brings arcel , steward and Dundee back from the grave to work his corner for the remainder of his career I bet all that knowledge goes out the window every time he faces fury again . Hes been aced mentally and physically, straight dominated. That isnt a good look for a fighter like wilder. Once the fear is gone guys who rely on power seem to struggle with guys they would have previously blasted out .

Train Wilder, Train!

He needs to keep his weight in the 240 - 245 range, but train and make that weight muscle, with speed and strength (hit the weights). The only way is to train and do cardio. There were reasons ALi jumped rope so much .... and ran the hills and beaches. You have to swim, play volleyball, basketball, do sprints ... as well as proper time practicing your punching, practicing being elusive, etc.

As far as Team additions, he needs guys that can work him at ending up in good posture and balance for defense or offense, AFTER the PUNCH. Guys who can instruct him how to move into range when in trouble, instead of being vulnerable trying to move away (something Ruiz does well when he shows up ready to fight). AND Wilder has to train for a long, hard fight and be able to keep his foot on the gas ... offensively and defensively.

As I've said before, there are plenty of things to sharpen. It's disappointing they haven't been addressed/corrected before now ... but it is what it is.

It sounds like Wilder is very unsure about adding people. He is having trust issues in his own mind. He has to put that away. If you don't trust them, they've got to go, period.

He needs to have four or more interested parties come in and run the show for a couple of days, and get a feel for who is saying things that he can connect to. That will lead him in deciding whose knowledge and advise he can trust. His regular guys should run the parts of his training they have run before, and the new guys should have certain days (or weeks) where they take over, and work the new wrinkles into his fighting. As the fight draws closer this alternating pattern should merge into his daily sessions. He needs days for boxing/strategy/positioning/punching .... and other days for running/swimming/weights/cardio/etc. He needs new wrinkles in all of these areas.

With all of this I hope Wilder will make his own peace with where things were and where they are now, and allow himself to be patient and non-judgemental with the new and old ways his team tries to improve him. Above all: Train, Train, Train. As powerful as Wilder's punching can be ... he's got to be heavier, and he has to be able to fight hard (cardio) with a lot of strategic punching while maybe getting hit, to beat Fury .... a big, strong, light on his feet guy ... with 85" reach, and newfound Kronk-aggression.

Wilder can do it, but he has to train. It is paramount that Wilder get bigger, stronger, and more athletic for his future fights. He should spend a lot of time working on well-rounded fitness and athleticism. I'm not saying he hasn't done ANY of these things, but they need to be taken to new levels.

Shuck off the doubts, settle on an expanded team and get to work Champ!

Whoa! That’s a lot of writing. A lot. And for what?
Wilder is NEVER going to beat Fury no matter how much you want him to or how many people he adds to his team.
He could not beat Fury in the first fight and we heard the same garbage that if he trains or if he does blah blah blah!

We hear it now. Again. Bookmark this response like I will so we can talk again. Wilder is now the official gatekeeper at HW.

I want wilder to win but seeing the thrashing he took, i doubt if he would win the rematch.

Infact they have fought 19 rounds and Wilder won two rounds. Does not bode well for the rematch.

Interesting... this came from a PBC podcast; though there were far more interesting things in that podcast that haven't been reported by Boxingscene...

"In my eyes I don't see Fury as a champion," Wilder told Premier Boxing Champions' podcast. "He ain't the champion yet because we've still got one more fight left."

Wilder insisted his body language was wrong: "When I took off my mask, the things that I was doing. I've been in this sport a very long time so people automatically know how I am. People that know boxing know that it wasn't Deontay Wilder on that night. I was a zombie on that night.

"I wasn't myself. I felt like a zombie.

"He knows that wasn't me. I know that wasn't me. That wasn't the real Deontay Wilder, something was wrong.

"There is more fuel on the fire. This is the final straw."

The fact Wilder is STILL making excuses means a third fight is going to go exactly the same way as the second. Fury is a student of the game; he adapted his game in order to nullify and demolish Wilder. Wilder on the other hand is merely a student of himself and the fact that it has become clear that he still will not acknowledge that he lost because Fury was simply better means he isn't really going to be working on ways for him too improve... thus Fury will do exactly the same to him again.
