- Start date
all because he thought he was going to get a tactical advantage with a glove switch disregarding his previous issues

Is this on his right hand?
Not that I think Wilder has a chance of coming back and being a top HW after the amount of damage he sustained
But is there any precedent for big power punchers coming back after hand issues and having the same pop?

Ward talking greasy and slick disrespectful to the other fighters IMO…Fury almost got beat by Wallin and has looked good but pedestrian at times. If it wasn’t for him beating an older shell shocked Wlad before he even became a big “name” as we seen Wlad only had a couple fights left in him anyway.
Not playing devils advocate but I’m seeing Fury start to become overrated with the wilder wins. Wilder was overrated his damn self IMO. And to be fair he fought a average in that 3rd fight. If we being real he should have been got Wilder out the paint..Frank Sanchez would give all the heavyweights a run for their money.
Boxers rarely fight top comp these days so it’s hard to accurately rate them.
oh yeah its def his right hand
there prolly is a precedent but i cant think of any off the top of my head like that right now
Shows wilder not wanting any sportsmanship after fight.
Why does wilder hate fury that much?
Yeah I saw ppl getting at Ward for that tweet lol
but ive been banging that drum about Fury esp after the first fight with Wilder which had ppl think he was a master boxer because he outboxed someone with struggle in his boxing and got up from 2 right hand KD's
i said it didnt mean anything more other than Fury was just on a higher level than Wilder. the Wallin fight is a perfect current example of that lol
But fury does have time on his side to add on to his record..he is in the middle of his prime..it depends if mentally he wants to do it and needs to be active more importantly

Nah that's recency bias imo. It was a great fight of a great trilogy but doesn't mean Fury should just walk off. The guy is 33 which is not ancient for a HW and there are plenty of top names he hasn't fought yet. Why would he retire now? He only had 32 fights too, not a super long career. So I don't know why Ward is saying that.
It's true had Fury retire now he'd go down as one of the best HWs in the modern era but imo if nothing else, undisputed is still a reasonable goal for him.
Why is it a trend in this era to talk about retirement after a big achievement or a big win? He's a boxer, it's what he's good at, it's his job, why are ppl quick to send these dudes into retirement after they achieved something? Like, isn't defending your title is a good thing as well? Why do we have to look at it only by the way of career achievements and act like nothing makes sense anymore if it can't top a good win?
I'm sure this wasn't the same in the decades before this. Nobody called for the Klitschkos to retire for example. This is a new trend to think a boxer keep boxing on after he achieved something big is pointless.
cuz he shattered his whole mystique... that a mentally ill, chinny, overweight man boxing his ass up and beating his ass severely is not good for the optics esp if youre trying to push narratives about many different things about yourself

because he feels like fury cheated in da second fight. whether he did or not its up for debate, but thats how he feels and dat shyt is unforgiveable.
he also feels like fury was trying to use dirty gloves in their last fight, which essentially forced him to do the same and fukk up his hand.
if cheato beat cotto in their rematch, cotto still wouldnt fukk with him. the result of da second fight doesnt take back da first.

Others reasons though, not because he wanted to ride into the sunset right after beating Wlad
Because @Master Teacher told Wilder that he must kill Fury or he will stop massaging his balls with his pudgy lips.
