    Wilder deserves a fond farewell. Wrap your head around this: until the recent Parker loss, Deontay Wilder KOed or Knocked down ALL opponents. 40 of them! That is just stunning. He did that weighing around 214 lbs, often outweighed by at least 30lbs. Fans want action and Wilder brought wild crazy KO fights. He came back at 38 and lost to the streaking Parker and one last run at the Monster Zhang and he deserves a massive standing ovation farewell. Thats all.

    Actually an amazing point he makes about this not being sad to see these fighters retire. It's sad if they have to retire without their health and without money. Wilder seems like if he gets out now he'll have gotten out looking good in both categories. Plus, Wilder was always willing to fight dangerous opponents. He's not the best of this era. But he was at least one of the top guys in his era and put on some super entertaining fights for us. He took a loss tonight - but I think he's got a win overall when it comes to a career.

Even Marciano is on record regretting and deeply saddened to face and beat up his hero with crippling financial problems. Joe Louis was a world renowned boxing legend who stood up for America and made a mockery of Hitler and he ultimately ends up stoney broke and a ‘yes’ man in the mobs pocket, so embarrassing.

    Once a fighter gets to the point when he doesn't assert his offense because he's worried about defense (defending himself) he's never the same fighter and this usually happens from being knocked out previously,which is why it's important not to think that any fighter is the best just because of an undefeated record because what makes a fighter is how he responds after a lost or being knocked out.

That is WILDER'S decision. And if he does, he made plenty money, seen success in the ring, and should be able to walk away with his head held high. Screw all the naysayers who dont have the minerals to give blood, sweat, and tears for their bloodline and get online and spew garbage about someone who's been a CHAMPION.

    I Personally think that Wilder is One of the Greatest to Ever Do It! Not because of his Fundamentals or Skill set ! But but for a guy to not have a solid fundamental boxing skills! To go to the a division with guys a lot larger and stronger with a more solid boxing pedigree . Take one Hand and Rule the division with an Iron Fist with out having great head movement having every competitor concerned about being hit by U!
    To take one hand in any sport and make it to the top is Unbelievable! But to take that hand and secure the financial future for your family and walk away with one of the best and highest Knockout rates in the history of the sport! Is Phenomenal!!! We will probably Never See this Ever Again! Congratulations Wilder ! You Pulled The Rabbit Out the hat ! Your the Best to Ever Do It
