Comments Thread For: Maintaining Status Quo the Wrong Move for a Pre-Trilogy Wilder

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It's eight weeks (or so) before a Deontay Wilder fight. But it doesn't sound the same. By this point in the fight-selling process the "Bronze Bomber" has usually issued an inappropriately chilling threat, suggested rendering an opponent lifeless wouldn't cause him to lose sleep, or at the very least proclaimed himself well on his way to undisputed heav...

Wilder is now just a bytch who would take the paycheck in last match of his career at 35 yo

Hard to believe Wildzillaturned down the best train available to him. At this. Crucial tim of his career, all for the likes of Jay Deas andMalik Scott? What’s up with that?

Windmill lost his mojo...

I doubt a new trainer can help him find it again.

Maybe ditching breland is just a cost cutting measure to avoid sharing his losers purse.

Yes, it's difficult to understand why wilder doesn't seem to see the need to make some strategic changes. Possibly reflects what is just a lack of basic intelligence.

Question for those not bent by nationalism or some burning hatred of wilder because Eddie Hearn told them to.....at this point what has Breland done for Wilder’s style? Wilder fought better on his pre-Szpilka days than he has now. Wilder looked more complete as an amateur than he does now. Obviously there needed to be some changes. You can’t expect wilder to keep Breland just because Breland threw in the towel. It’s what led to the towel having to be thrown in is what I see as a problem. Fighters switch trainers ALL THE TIME when they think it’s time and someone can help them

I don’t really think any trainer could help Wilder in the next fight, but Jay Deas is one of the most clueless people in boxing.

Another trainer wouldn’t work miracles at this point but at least try and give yourself a chance.

Sounds like Wilder and Deas are just cashing out with as little overheads as possible.

Wilder is what he is. A tall, athletic guy who looks great against slow fighters. Sometimes the trainer won't make a difference as you can only teach techniques. Wilder is not a natural fighter. He is an athlete being taught to fight. The instincts to be great are not within him. It doesn't mean he is not pretty good...but against fighters who are not as slow as molasses (Molina, Breazeale, Areola, Stiverne, ad nauseum), he will struggle greatly. He had a 70% Fury who won almost every round and then a 100% Fury who owned him from the opening bell. Don't expect Wilder to do any better....and he could have Roach, Dundee, even Panama Lewis and he would still not do any better.

What little I know of Wilder and his wild ways is that he does what he wants anyhow. i think he would not listen to anyone no matter how skilled or unskilled that person might be. I have heard fighters say yea my corner said.................. but I was not going to listen to that. But like I said never followed Wildman all that much just the way it goes. Thanks for the write up.

Wilder is 35 he's set in his ways and is simply inferior to Fury inside the ring. He has a dangerous right hand and held length over nearly all his opponents not to mention nearly all were crap. He loses that advantage to Fury. Fury learned how to take away Wilder's only weapon. Fury is bigger, younger and a much better boxer. He simply is too good for Wilder.
