    He looks like a three round fighter now. And his power has definitely declined. Which is funny because of the myth (in my opinion) in boxing that “power is the last thing to do”.

    As a Wilder fan, he needs 2-3 more fights before thinking about fighting the top heavyweights. I honestly think he needs to retire because he clearly is not the same physically or mentally anymore.

    Would a Joshua fight sell? I'd watch it just to see either guy get KO.

    The speed is gone. A lot of guys can anticipate the shots coming now whereas before, he would catch guys off guard.

    I think the power is still there. Herdon was being sent back from blocking the RH. The timing, explosiveness and confidence to throw it is gone.

    Would still sell out a stadium in the UK. The casuals would lap it up. Don’t underestimate the British casual. It would be talked about in pubs and offices across the country come fight week.

    He creaks around the ring looking terrible. I don’t think he’s even top 20 now.

    The Dosser would've got that binman out of there in 6 rounds in his prime

    Really want Wilder to rematch Zhang or maybe fight Bakole. He deserves it.

    Wilders one big fight away from a defeat. He fights any top 15 fighter and he loses and (should) retires.

    Hopefully he is still kicking himself for listening to uncle Al and turning down 100mil to fight Joshua. Biggest L of his life.

    I thought he looked alright. The jab was sharp. The right hand was wild as ever but extremely hurtful even through a guard.. His giraffe leg footwork was as bad as ever. The dude can still pressure fighters into small spaces and limited options. No one wants to get hit by him. You will still watch him against Mahkmudov or Joshua. Stop with all The King is Dead BS.
