    I doubt it, even 10% risk of getting KOd is too scary for Wilder and his cherrypicking team

    Wilder feasted on bums most of his entire career and will now feast on bums in his return once he finds his balls since Fury neutered him.

    Yes, only due to the amount of time he's been out of the ring.

    Wilder had fought, up until Fury, a bunch of bums, (quite literally).

    Wilder has a great opportunity to make a fierce SUCCESSFULL comeback

    He has to grab it with both hands though and jump in the deep end

    Call up Eddie Hearn and tell him, I WANT DILLIAN WHYTE

    Tell his management team to swivel.

    But he won't, he's a fractured wreck.

    if he took his loss like a ****ing man, then his next fight should be for any title, but after all this ****, **** him, retire and **** off

    No, but he can't do nothing. If he does nothing the winner of Hrgovic-Hunter could leapfrong him, especially if it's Hunter.

    I would love to see Wilder prove he's the best HW in America before going for another title shot, something he failed to do during his title reign (que'l surprise), so yeah, a fit Ruiz smashes him to bits or, I'd settle for Michael Hunter putting Wilder back into retirement.

    He won't go anywhere near Whyte, even if it guaranteed a shot at Fury or AJ.

    Wilder has to build his stock back up, AJ and Fury are rated miles above him after his awful display v Fury.

    I think he needs to provehe`s better than Whyte, Dillian looked far better v Pov than Wilder did v Fury, Wildder would not be a big betting favourite to beat Whyte right now.

    Wilder successfully defended against better guys than any of the champs you mentioned faced.

    Parker successfully defended against Razvan Cojanu and Hughie Fury. Tyson Fury didn't defend against anyone. Martin and Ruiz lost to Joshua - who is rated lower than Tyson Fury. Joshua hasn't faced anyone better than Fury who Wilder floored twice and successfully defended his title against. When Joshua fights Tyson Fury, he will be Joshua's best challenger to date (Wilder defended his WBC belt against Fury twice).

    I know you like to bash Wilder. But he has more successful defenses than all of them and he fought better challengers than all of them.

    At some point, you guys need to take off the blinders and recognize that.

    And Wilder can wait until 2022 when he's 36 and challenge the winner of Fury-Joshua if he so chooses. He'll still be the best opponent out there for either. He's the knockout king. And he has 10 or 20 more wins than all of them.

    Like I said, Wilder can do what he wants.

    The last decade Klitschko had better defenses this decade Joshua does... Wilder just fought bums the whole time while ducking unification. and yes steroid cheat Ortiz is a bum...

    Hmm, good question. If Wilder fought better opposition before the Fury fight, I might be inclined to say maybe, he doesn’t need to re-establish himself. He made his name by fighting bums and cherry picked faded opponents. And he was beaten so brutally in the second fight. It wasn’t like a one punch KO like we saw with fighters like Lenox, we are talking about a complete beat down by a guy who is not known as a big puncher. For that reason, Wilder absolutely has to beat a couple live bodies before stepping in against the AJ-Fury winner.

    Why are Wilder fans afraid to see him against decent opposition? I don’t mind seeing him face a lesser opponent to shake off the rust but he needs to prove he deserves a shot. He has a rematch clause with Fury so it might be a moot point. He will probably get the shot without having to take chances but he definately doesn’t deserve it.
