Wilder at Bridgerweight?

It would be perfect for him and its an avenue for a graceful end to his career other comparable fighters haven't had. But Wilder a week ago was talking about unifying all the HW belts whether his ego could take being king of the 2nd division is to be seen. What if his confidence is truly shot to hell and he can't do it and he embarasses himself further? Everyone will be expecting him to destroy everyone again and anything short of that will be failure even at his old age.

 

Why not. He could then be 2-division champion, and first ever unified/undisputed titlist at the weight. Saudi would likely love for a bout there for another eye candy belt and coronation, and his pay would likely be just the same whatever the weight anyway. Saudis already saw him KO'ed, then with his ability to KO opponents himself, so they know there would be excitement again.

 

Being KO'd by Okolie would be a new low for him.

 

Wilder is finished. Washed up. It's over.
No new weight divisions can save him from this fact of his life.

He can make 200 with a few easy saunas. But 200 pound boxers are not slow like Zhang. The better ones, they punch holes through Wilder too.

 

The Bridgerweight limit is 224. Not 200.

 

He should have went to BW or maybe CW after Fury and worked back to HW.

 

Yes he is not needing any sauna for "Bridgerweight". Needs more meals!

He can make 200 "cruiser" if he wants smaller opponents.

Either way he is done. Finished.

 

I'd pick current Breidis to melt Wilder.

 

WIll you people please leave Deontay alone! He's in a defensive shell at the moment.

 

He'd be even worse. He needs someone slow so he can load up his KO punch.
His one strength was he was agile and able to surprise people with the big power shot. Smaller faster fighters would would footwork circles around him with ease.

If he insists on continuing fighting. he needs to take on a bunch of complete tomato cans, rack up some wins, then have a cash out fight against a ranked opponent (or a youtuber)

 

Wilder is finished. He needs to retire. Helenius got KTFO in one by shot Wilder. Sad.

 

He could but there is no money. There is no legacy either. He might as well stay at heavyweight and try to cash out.

 

Didn't that French pasty maker guy also implode Helenius with one big shot? And he did it years before Wilder to boot...
