    Surely it can't end well?
    To me, he should have retired after the Parker loss - certainly after Zhang. I imagine a few wins over low level opposition beckons, before being iced by any legit contender.
    If he wants a cash out then maybe an AJ fight? But even that seems risky at this stage.

    I think he will crush a few more cans for the recycling center and end up fighting Joshua. Best he can get at this point, and Joshua will take it because he will be sure to win.

    Probably ends in him being sparked out cold by AJ. I imagine the AJ payday is the whole reason why Wilder is still boxing, no other fight makes sense

    Either face first on the canvas or on his back.

    He should seriously beg Turki for a fight with Ngannou in Riyadh

    The first decent opponent he faces will likely beat him into the canvas. His timing and sense of range were seriously off last night, even against a dead tired opponent he failed to land that right hand clean.

    Some in the RBR said that his jab looked sharp, which is just BS. Wilder typically doesn´t throw his jab to land it, he uses it to occupy space, to sense the range, and to set up his right hand. But occasionally he does jab with the aim of landing - last night he barely was able to do so. There were many instances where he clearly put weight behind his jab, but due to his poor sense of range he would throw it from too far away to land.

    Wilder looks physically incapable of performing at a high level. Maybe he worked off some ring rust here, but I doubt it. Hes failed to land a meaningful punch in his last 3 fights.

    Wilder looks cooked.

    I'd be cheering for him in a hypothetical AJ showdown, but even AJ isn't THAT shot.

    ...at AJ's feet, most likely.

    He's 39 and took 7 rounds to stop a guy that Ajagba stopped in 1 and everyone that's beating Herndon quickly stopped him early too. He looked terrible, he always has that punch but there's no way this ends well.

    I think Francis could KO him. Wilder is done.
