    Yep, I'd like to see him take a warm-up stay busy fight against Makhmudov to get his confidence back.

    Not sure.

    He's probably going to Ethiopia to some random little village to see a witch doctor who will give him soup laced with weird herbs and leaves from the forest and some DMT.

    Wilder will trip out for days and if he still has PTSD over Fury then he'll retire.

    If he is taken further from reality that his ego becomes shrouded in more and more delusion, he will believe that he's destined become heavyweight champ again and make a comeback.

    He will fight 44 year old Ortiz again, KO him and think he's GOAT.

    His career to all intents and purposes was over after Baptism II. That biblical shellacking Fury administered to him on his own soil in front of his own kinfolk was the end of him as a serious force and the horror show which was Baptism III was the final nail in the coffin of his career.

    He's so cooked now there's a very real chance he could lose to someone of the level of one of the 40 plus tomato cans he forged a career off of beating if he were to continue.

    I think he is mentally done. He still has lots of intriguing fights to make but that invincibility aura is gone and his reliance of that right bailing him out is gone. If he continues It will be real interesting to see how he reacts if he gets cracked again. I see him mentally imploding from fear of being stopped in another devastating lost.

    Not sure he fights again to be honest.

    It felt like he put his heart and soul into the 3rd Fury fight and to be knocked out like that - what motivation does he have to fight again?

    That was his redemption fight and he lost.

    I hope hw continues to fight. A lot questions over his cherry picked poor and waffer thin record.

    I hope Haymon decide to cash in on him and makes him a lamb to the slaughter against one of Sanchez or Ruiz.

    I hope not, He could give the fans many more good fights. Sadly, losses are so stigmatized now in days that once a boxer loses their 0, they start thinking about their retirement immediately.

    Fun thing is that is he retires now, it's 100% confirmation he should have taken the DAZN/Joshua deal. As he would have had more money, and at worst have the same record now.

    Knowing what we know now, I think he'd have sparked AJ if he fought him post Ruiz.

    Not really. Keep in mind, if Fury retires after Whyte, Wilder has a good chance to stop every HW out there.
