Will Wilder bounce back from this loss?

[Congo66]

At this point I think his financial situation is more important than his boxing career.
He’s too big a risk to fight at too small reward
He was being avoided before his loss and I don’t see people lining up to fight him now

He must have made enough money where he doesn't need to fight again?

Lol he was being avoided? Dillian Whyte has been trying to fight him for years and so has Joshua.

Dominic Breazeale and Bermane Stiverne were recent viable opponents from a financial point of view so any top 20-30 Box-rec HW will do. Hughie Fury is fighting in a couple of weeks time, if he wins that then have Wilder vs Fury 3 but if it's against Hughie then Wilder should win it.

today i heard he wants the immediate rematch
maybe he knows where he fvcked up
imo he didn't look as confident as in his prior fights

or maybe he’s making a rash decision too soon after the fight? I’m not sure if it has to be an immediate rematch. I think it would be mad to rematch fury immediately.

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.

This. I caught stick for suggesting that Wilder should consider retirement but he's 44 fights in, 34 years old and his go-to plan in every fight is to land a big right hand. He has very limited technical skills but somehow he's going evolve at this late stage of his career and show us something totally different? I don't see where he goes from here. The guy has or had a massive ego, he doesn't I think have the humility to learn from this experience.

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.
I mean Wilder looked so outmatched against Fury I think it's far less risk to fight one of these smaller chubby shorter heavyweights.

Also, depends on Wilder's mindset. Being as dominant and as undefeated as he was this has to be a total mind fuck. He may not be the same mentally once the ego gets shattered like that.

I don't often say this but for once I totally agree with you. Deontay had a massive ego, shown by how he was saying he'd destroy Prime Mike Tyson and that he deserved a 50/50 split with AJ despite only having one belt and being far less of a draw. That ego could be damaged irrevocably.

Ruiz doesn't survive Wilder. Especially slow sluggish out of shape Ruiz that was shutout against AJ.

ruiz handspeed is too much for wilders chinny chin.

I think Joshua is more chiny and he manged to survive easy.

dillian whyte the guy that has been using steroids forever and has been caught multiple times?

Exactly. It's wishful thinking by some of his fans in this thread to suggest he can markedly improve at his advanced age and after being pro for so long already. He's so limited that he'll have no choice but to come back and attempt to use the same strategy because it's all that he knows and has the tools to execute. His approach is entirely singular and it always has been, it's too late for any real significant changes.

That’s all great, he’s still going for the money grab with the trilogy

 

[droolingliver]

He'll need a fight or two back in casinos in Tuscaloosa, then he'll be OK again.

But not against Fury. Never. He has it in his head now his right doesn't KO Fury. I think when it didn't work in the 2nd, he was broken and just took his lumps.

 

[Barge]

He's too old a dog to teach new tricks to. I will never understand why he didnt posses a killer jab.
Depends on if his confidence is shook. He still bangs out anyone outside the top 5. HW is shallow enough for him to be a perennial contender.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

dillian whyte the guy that has been using steroids forever and has been caught multiple times?

He didn't actually fail any test this time, I don't think. I don't believe he's clean but if we're gonna go by the facts then he's only been caught once.

 

[Congo66]

He's still #1 in the WBC so take it up with them, that's the only belt Wilder was ever interested in fighting for but he had zero interest in fighting their number 1 ranked fighter.
Facts are facts, spin it however you like but it's still a fact.

 

[aries]

this was his first real loss … so yeah he could evolve.

Really? At 34 years old and 44 fights in? I doubt it.

well if wilder can beat him would be his best win wouldn’t it.

Debatable. I say no. I think Ortiz is better than Ruiz.

 

[RDL81]

I think Joshua is more chiny and he manged to survive easy.

More Chiny based on what? Aj has been in with much bigger hitters than the bums wilder has. Fury isn’t a massive puncher and he knocked him down with a body shot.

 

[WklySportsMemes]

That's true.
Based on how he reacts to hard shots still even in Ruiz win.

 

[RDL81]

Other than Ruiz there was wlad and povetkin both all three are known as big hitters.....fury isn’t and put wilder down with a body shot you could tell he was scared of the body shot given how low he was dropping his hands imagine that with someone who hits proper hard

Most heavyweights hit proper hard.
His hands were down mostly due to bad habits and just not fighting smart in my opinion.
That body shot KO looked like exhaustion. Like when he was falling down shooting double legs on Fury when he wasn't even hit. He was spent. A summer breeze could of floored him he was so wobbly.
