    Wilder could still beat maybe Whyte Povetkin etc but if he gets beaten again by Fury and then probably AJ do you think he will never get his belts back and just be kind of forgotten about?

    Heavyweight division is weak. He will always be a name for the near future.

    If Wilder loses to Fury again which he most definitely will I think he won’t mentally come back from it. I think he’ll beat a few tomato cans in an attempt to regain his confidence and then he’ll get sparked clean out again by a Ruiz or Whyte. Then he’ll just retire.

    Too soon to say. If Wilder swallows his pride and starts listening to his trainer he has a chance to win against Fury, but if he continues to be stubborn and do things his way he’ll take another hard beating.

    Wilder’s stubbornness ruined his relationship with both Oscar and Russ Anber. Despite all of the disrespect Wilder has shown Breland has remained extremely loyal, but if Wilder won’t listen Breland can’t do anything to help him.

    Finkel and Haymon have no use for Wilder if he doesn’t hold a title and will quickly toss him to the side if he gets easily destroyed by Fury again, since he’ll pretty much be frozen out.

    No, plenty of fights for him even if he loses the third fight.

    Why is it weak? A lot of people are saying this yet I find it the most exciting division by far!

    Might have to do with the fact that I'm English and we're dominating the said division.

    When Wilder loses to Fury again there will be no reason for anybody to assume the risk of fighting him.
    Styles make fights and Fury is bad for Wilder. Take away Fury and Wilder had a right hand chance of
    beating Joshua. But now that the code is broken, not so much.
    That said, a desperate right hand, square on the jaw and everything changes.

    If he puts in a solid performance vs fury he's relevant even if he loses

    This. If Wilder gets destroyed again by Fury I have a hard time seeing any top contenders risking their ranking against Wilder, so Wilder’s chances of being a champ again would basically be over.

    If he loses the third Fury fight then as others have said he is too high risk low reward and wont get a sniff at a title again

    He will get steamrolled by Fury again is my bet, and he will disappear into oblivion. That's 3 losses in a row. Say he lasts 5 rounds in the 3rd fight then he was in the ring for 25 rounds with Fury and managed to win 1.

    Absolutely not.

    Fury is a huge huge huge favourite for their rubber match, but make no mistake, Wilder is only one punch from victory against anyone.

    I favour him to ko Joshua and anyone else in the division bar Usyk.

    Wilder is far from finished, as long as he can pull the trigger he's a force to be reckoned with.
