When a fighter mentions retirement prior to a fight it is usually a good idea to bet against them.

Well said by teddy. Wilder started fighting to feed his daughter who had a rare disease. He decided NOT to sell drugs and instead did what's RIGHT CURRENTLY his daughter is sitting pretty. Good career

Great career for Wilder. Time to hang it up. Thanks for the great memories champ 💣

[topsuperseven]

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.

Wilde had a great career and made a lot of money retire and enjoy your family!!

[genesisg]

Wilder and Fury have never been the same since their trilogy

[gsimon]

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.

An unfortunate end but he had some great fights during his run.

Factual, respect to wilder, he has nothing to prove, he's had a number of knockouts, won a bronze medal in the Olympics, and he became a world champion. Now he can retire in peace and enjoy his health, wealth, and family.

[DominusNobody]

Bang still deserves props for swiftly getting the job done with the TKO. Plus, his chin is solid and underrated.

[cvaderx]

Wilder's heart is not in it since fury. It's life. He entertained us and it's that time...

[sirtoneyd]

You're an inspiration Deontay Wilder. Got a late start in boxing and wasn't that technical but still MADE IT! Respect. Thank you

[moopius]

Sad was the Joe Louis story where the IRS broke him and left him with nothing after all he did for his country.

[omgmazin]

This was a great interview, Teddy summed it up very well!!!

[VarsonofiyX]

lol, Wilder had 20 f*cking years to learn the basics of boxing technique, but he spent it on everything but practicing the right reflexes in the gym... And now that he's lost his speed and stamina, it's cost him dearly.

[FromTheHoodTheWoods]

God bless him. Followed his dreams. Despite the fear and doubt we all have as human beings. GO FOR IT IN LIFE!!!!

[davidhenry]

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.

[dunningkruger]

I MUST be watched Teddy box on TV. This was a GREAT interview.

[legitcheck]

I can listen to Teddy talk about boxing all day, guy is a legend when it comes to boxing. Answered questions perfectly!

[Xrider]

Wilder got heart. He could've retired when he lost to Parker. He kept coming back. It's his choice if he wants to do it again or be with his family. Great career.
