AJ is better at fighting on the inside than fury in my opinion, they wouldn't need to throw in the towel because with AJ shots wilder will be asleep, he clearly cant take a punch, when was the last time there was a knock down from a body shot at HW.
He may not come back better than before but it remains to be seen if he just had an especially bad night. Thats not taking away from Fury but we know Wilder can be more competitive than he was saturday. We can play dumb on that if we want but a guy can obviously better his worst performance.
His worst performance was also because of who he had in front of him. Fury asked questions of him and Wilder didn't have any answers for his intelligent pressure that put him on his heels or his rough in-fighting. It's too late in the game for Wilder to significantly improve his game and fill those holes. He didn't just turn pro and he's only getting older.
I still dont see Parker Ruiz Ortiz or Whyte on Wilder's level. However, I kind of like how hes in a position to fight those guys to maybe prove that.
I agree mostly but that doesn't mean he can't do better. People wanted to write Joshua off too. Just saying, I'd like to see if it was the same deal as Joshua, where he got clipped and couldn't recover. He never seemed right after that first KD and it seemed to take a lot more out of him than you'd expect a shot like that to do to someone. We've seen him clipped a few times as a pro but none of those times knocked him retarded like that shot did last saturday.
Wilder can improve on that particular performance but it isn't hard to do that when you didn't do anything noteworthy. He got ran over. And what Joshua did to Ruiz in the rematch was only possible because of his existing versatility using the tools that he already had in his toolbox. Wilder isn't in that conversation, he's a pure puncher, a one-dimensional fighter that's a specialist.
I agree with the first sentence but for me, thats why I want to see them run it back.
I don't think Wilder will take any of those fights next tbh. Are Wilder's management really gonna risk him losing to anyone who doesn't have a title?
The one-dimensional comment I made (despite acknowledging it also makes him a specialist)? It's the truth. His own trainers have basically said the same. That's why they only work with him on finding ways to land his right hand. I'm not dissing the guy I'm keeping it real and there's absolutely a difference.
It all depends on if team Fury is willing to oblige. Also, I still dont think I ever saw exactly the wording on the 3 fight deal.
Some have been arguing he has overachieved based on his big holes. Everybody thought he would get exposed or get caught years ago before he even got a title shot. They have done pretty well by him.Wilder shuld Change Coach, Trainer everything ...
but hes too loyal.
mark breland has a good history of boxing in his head but for whatever reason, he's not getting it to wilder. don't know what's going on there, mark is a softspoken, low key guy so that may be part of it.
