    There's a lot of good fights that he could make. Ruiz would be my 1st choice. It would be great to see him fight AJ at some stage. He needs some big wins before fighting Fury again.

    Well he does need a stay busy fight to get back into gear.

    I think physically the time off was great for him...now for mental focus he needs to to get back in there soon.

    This King will rise again!

    Denty needs time to recover from that autopsy. He'll soon be back to his twerking and windmilling best.

    But next question is who will be his trainer . He was fortunate to have a class act like Breland put up with his nonsense for so long.

    Still no fight scheduled, not even a rumor of a fight for Deontay Wilder.

    Seems like the fight with Tyson Fury took away his fighting spirit. I have a feeling he'll retire.

    I think its going to effect him a good deal. I dont expect him to be much of a force from here on out. Obviously, its going to come down to how well hes matched... I could see them feeding him some lambs to fatten him up for a cashout, but I dont expect him to get a high profile win again.

    I hope he proves me wrong.

    I'd like him to take a warmup fight against someone like Hunter or Makmudhov, you know, someone easy that isn't likely to totally embarrass him by KOing his ass. Maybe that new cat, Oleksandr something or other?

    My guess is if he does take a warm up, it'll be against someone w/ no shot at beating him. Then he'll DEMAND a title shot w/o facing any other meaningful HW's. Dude should just retire...dude adds nothing to the HW division anymore if he cops a diva attitude.

    Hasn't wilder only fought legit like 3 heavyweights that were ranked higher than 20th? I don't see him risking it lol

    He's gonna find some unknown European boxer with a decent looking record to the eye that's ranked like 245th, beat him, then say AJ is ducking him

    Wilder's ego is too big for a guy like Atlas who would likely be correcting his form on the mitts which Wilder would not like IMO.

    I'm pretty sure Arslanbek Makhmudov would knock him out. Wilder's handlers would never put him in with someone that dangerous. And either Usyk or Hunter would very likely beat him by decision.

    Wilder if he ever fights again will face a soft opponent, some faded guy or a chinny journeyman, someone like Samuel Peter or Rydell Booker.
