Neither. I think he's being very carefully matched and we might see his true colors when the going gets tough. I feel like he prefers taking the easy way out.
If he doesn’t want to retire smart matchmaking is required, Zhang someone 70 pounds heavier and a banger himself is not smart match making.
Time for a super cruiserweight division? Personally, I don't think we'll ever get a legitimate super heavyweight division, and bridgerweight is a terrible name, so why not have super cruiserweight between 200 and 220/225?
Wilder should 100 percent retire. Although i think malik scott is so bad for wilder its probably worth having one last punt with an experienced trainer against limited opposition.
I think the only fight that might still generate interest, and that could offer a lucrative payday, is Joshua. However, Joshua seems to have his next few fights already mapped out and Wilder isn't part of that.
It’s funny how times change in boxing and relatively quickly as well,at one time the whole Boxing World was clamouring for the Joshua v Wilder fight and yet now if that fight was made would they even get away with it ? Wilder coming off 4 losses in his last 5 fights and looking totally shot in his last 2 fights being completely unable to let his hands go and as already mentioned add to the fact that Scott has been more than useless for him .
All Wilder can hope for is if the Saudis are still interested in making the Jarred Anderson fight so Wilder can get one more payday.
It s a very personal decision, but hard considering he is making a fortune every fight. Dillian White, Andy Ruiz, Jarrel Miller are exciting matchups. Scuba Scott is a bad trainer for Wilder, he regressed under that yes man team. Coach Breland did a much better job.
After watching that on saturday night....wilder in his current condition wouldnt beat anyone that would generate interest. Truthfully needs to retire. Failing that it has to be against someone who,s very very limited if he can get a competant training team in place to find out if theres anything left to work with.
If today he faced Joshua it would be hospitalized for at least 3 or 4 months imo. He couldnt recover like Ngannou who in his career took much less blows on the head and the body than him. Either he fights washed up fighters like him or better if he retires. Continue to face top fighters could be very dangerous for his health: many parts of his body are definetely broken and held up with the adhesive tape. Besides his brain is half broken. It could get punch drunk in a short time.
He is cooked. I hate to see any fighters stick around too long, whether or not I like them or dislike them.
Oh, I agree. I'm not saying he should carry on, I think he's finished. I was just saying if he was to carry on it might be a cash out fight and there aren't many of those left for him.
