    Watching it I thought it was more of a strategy by Fury to be patient and control the rounds as a first priority.

    Wilder seems mentally weak to me. Will be interesting how he does after two KO lost. Will he shell up after eating a hard punch? With Fury pride kept him going. All the destiny , pride, indestructible bull is gone.

    Avoided a ducked? He did not fight any one good besides Fury and should be 0-3 in those fights, not 0-2-1.

    Who did he beat again?

    I can understand that. And I'd be happy if he did.

    However, fights with AJ and Whyte are still viable fights that would make decent headlines.

    But is it worth the possible additional trauma, hard to say.

    Definitely think his stock is better even after the L because so many questions were there after a weak performance in fight 2 plus the pandemic layoff if he'd still have the fire.

    Thing is... what made Wilder dangerous was his speed.

    He will likely be 37 next time he fights.

    The ingredients that made him a force won't be what they were...

    It was nothing serious. Also Wilders entire style revolves around him landing a huge right. Wlad was always overly cautious, also Wlad hits harder

    Wilder needs a few tune ups, then take on AJ.

    AJ can't take his power, and AJ just ain't throwing like he used to. Wilder in 10.

    I don’t know what he has left. Needs a tuneup in about 8-10 months and then Joshua. Otherwise, retire.

    Nah. Fury was tiring himself and didn't have the energy to throw the sustained combinations needed to get Wilder out of there sooner. If he were a power puncher Wilder wouldn't have lasted four rounds.
    I kind of think back to Razor Ruddock. Razor Ruddock was a one punch power puncher same as Wilder just with more dimensions. Went twelve rounds with Tyson, never the same again.
    AJ's not stupid. He's not going to allow Wilder 10 rounds to throw that big punch at him

    Well, neither of us have ever been hit by either of them, so we cannot definitely say now can we? And no, Wlad landed a few clean rights late.

    You misunderstand.

    No one will fight him simply because the risk reward wouldn't be right. You're not going to risk your ranking on a guy who can keep throwing hard rights after you beat the hell out of him, so top ten or so guys like say Joe Joyce won't want to risk their standings and chances for a shot at a belt.

    Wilder also isn't the guy up and comers would be hoping into the ring with to prove themselves as he can still decapitate them.

    I think his biggest problem is he can't fight

    Wilder could be in some interesting fights: Joshua, Sanchez, Ruiz, Whyte, Usyk, Hrgovic, Makhmudov, Hunter, Anderson. Lots of potential good matchups for him.
