Federer losing a match in GS simply gave a lot of energy to his haters
promoting he is down for good. I'm not sure about this yet.

I can state the facts the way I see them:

1) Federer lost two out of the last three match to Djokovic.
2) Federer had a very close match which he won in USO in three
straight sets.
3) I don't believe Djokovic played any better than he played in USO.

you must not be watching or are simply trolling. Most noticeable
differences were clutch serving and Djokovic not afraid to go to Fed's
forehand. Djokovic is very assured of his f/h now. At USO, Djoker
could not get a first serve on numerous set-points he had over
Federer. At Aus Open he serving was way improved.
Djokovic came up on top in the forehand duel.

4) Federer didn't seem to be healthy at all in his last match.
5) So, did Djokovic improve that much or Federer declined that much?
It was Djokovic who improved on his game.

who is better now? this will be answered by their next meetings.
6) If Federer was healthy that match, it's wrong to assume that he
won't adjust his game playing Djokovic in the future.
7) Federer is (my opinion) a better play, technically and physically.
8) I see Federer has better chance winning the FO this year.

Based on his game last six months, he has less fo a chance than last
year.

9) I see Federer is  the favourite to win Wimbledon this year.
10) Djokovic should have a good chance in USO, but I'm wondering how
long it will take his opponents to learn his game and start to give
him trouble.

If someone can match and beat Djokovic with power, that same guy can
overpower Federer too.

11) Federer is still the favourite to win the USO.

How Federer will reply back in his next new tournaments, should be a
sign of what to come.
Also I believe he will hire a coach even if he thinks he doesn't need
one,  it's more of a silent war against his opponents.

that will be the supidest move. that will be an inviation to confusion
and unnecessary distractions.
