    When do y'all think Wilder will unify the HW division as he's always been saying?

    I think at best he has 5 fights left. I'd be willing to bet he loses two or three of those fights against fighters he should beat, will destroy a fighter he should beat, and will spectacularly upset Joshua.

    He will settle for that if he’s gets to beat Joshua.

    If he beats Joshua he could retire because will have overachieved.

    Being the most feared one is a heavy burden to be fair. :facepalm:

    TBH, as long as he gets paid well for all 5 fights, I don't think he would really be bothered too much if he lost all of them. If he truly had the drive, desire, and self-motivation to be the best and actually cared about his legacy, put the work in and honed his skills, I don't think there would be any question as to who is the best heavy in the world and probably be a top 3 p4p'er.

    Wow so much negativity towards Wilder here. Don't mistake his slow and steady approach for complacency or lack of desire.

    It took him just over 6 years to win his first world title, so we can expect him to unify the 3 other belts in about 18 years, so just you wait, by 2033 we'll see Wilder as undisputed champion.

    The day every other champion vacates and he's allowed to fight for the belts in a trilogy against the almighty Bermane Stiverne.

    For the record, by no means am I trying to say or imply Wilder is a better or superior boxer than Joshua - he's not even close. From my own personal experience boxing and being a fan of the sport, when you are always the superior physical specimen compared to your opponent and get used to exploiting that edge in athleticism, it's an absolute shock and mind **** when you step in the ring and your opponent exploits that same edge on you, regardless of how much more skilled and technically sound you are. When your used to being the bigger, faster, stronger, longer, and more explosive guy and then step in with someone who has your number in most if not all of those categories......Total befuddlement ensues.

    I've yet to see a legitimate, sensible and detailed explanation as to how Wilder actually has any fans in the sport.

    I would suggest he pays them, but given his purses......
