Deontay Wilder says “No” to Floyd Mayweather training him

[PRINCEKOOL]

I think Wlad would be a nice fit for Wilder. I'd also love to see Lennox in his corner.

Good suggestion.

But it seems like Wilder, will not reach out to any other fighters.

If Wilder said that, that actually would at least be one sane thing coming out of him in recent times. Wilder just needs professional people around him rather than his buddies. That will be good now that he's got a home and moved to L.A.

Wilder and the Mexican style?

Imagine Wilder trying to do a shoulder roll.

"Oh ma gawd" - Wilder's voice

Wilder needs someone who is offensive minded. Floyd always stealing the spotlight tho. Claiming he wants to help young black men make money and break his records. Yea ok! Floyd wants people to do good but not better than him. I think Deontay said that once before.

[TheBoxGod]

I still like wilder.

I think he needs to get his head in the game and get serious. I have erie Chavez Jr vibes with Wilder right now.

Firing Breland and deciding not to work with Floyd are poor choices imo if you are serious about beating fury and AJ.

Freddy Roach, Teddy Atlas, or Virgil Hunter would be great for him.

I don't think Floyd's style of fighting would transfer well to Wilder anyway, but I totally agree with OP that he needs a solid trainer that's a good fit to have a chance at getting another belt.

Right now Fury showed he can't fight well going backwards, so that's the templet that anyone who goes up against him will put in their fight plan.

It's a bit too late for him to learn how to fight from the back foot like Mayweather, has to be a trainer that knows how to make the most out of an aggressive style.
