While thinking about Ortiz's accession into the 30 KO club it got me wondering. Wilder said he plans to fight forever. While that will not happen Wilder has 43 KOs. Do you think he will cross the finish line and get to 50?
Yeah he will reach 50 but he will take some more losses along the way. I reckon he will be around for another 5 years taking tune ups and used as a name opponent for up and comers.
If he goes back to facing the kinds of utter stiffs and fragile chinned mediocrities he scored most of his KOs against, then it's possible. If he faces live bodies, he's taking more canvas naps himself.
5 fights in the last 5 years? Its hard to imagine him picking up his activity level at this point, thus its an improbable goal.
Yeah Malik Scott can take 7 more dives for him Wilder is beyond shot. They say power is the last thing to go on a fighter, clearly not the case for Wilder. Makes sense really given he is a twig who was all explosive power who even in prime rarely had his legs under him.
