    No it's just Tyson fury is a different level of fighter.

    He can probably beat the rest with his right hand alone.

    He can still make money.

    Just stay away from elite top10.

    Stick to Ortiz'es of this world.

    Wilder's entire appeal was about being perceived as an unbeatable killer with a perfect 0.

    Now that both things are gone, he lost most of his already not great casual pull.

    He's done. If he's humbled enough he takes the third beatdown from Fury, cashes in and retires. If he's still the dumbass he was before, he keeps fighting cans for some years and then retire.

    I don`t see any need to rematch the rematch Fury. This was the rematch, cause the zero boxing skill clearly lost the first fight, but was gifted by the judges. This was the rematch where he should have shown that he improved and can beat Fury. And he was knock out.
    The referee was helping him all night long and give him extra time as well, and still this not help him.
    Where are the people who was given videos of Fury knockdown in the first fight and said the count was too long.
    Go check now the both knockdown and how much seconds referee spare to Wilder.
    When referee on the 7 count, it was exactly 12 seconds, since Wilder first hit the floor. Thats speaks for itself.
    The second knockdown was passed 8 seconds, and the referee was counting 4, absolutely pathetic to try give Wilder more time to recover ....
    So happy that this hype-job finally shows his "skills".

    Close but not yet.

    Id put him on a feeding cycle (get a couple KO's against the typical overmatched opponent he built his name on) and then have another big fight with Whyte, Ruiz, or Usyk.

    Plenty of good fights, and money, to be made.

    If he lost the culmination of that cycle/chapter though, then Id say retire.

    Thats about a year and a half to two years away though.

    Nah, he will take the rematch of if not then go after the AJ fight. He's still a draw and can still earn mega money even if he loses his next 2 or 3.

    If the first fight had been scored correctly this whole farse would be ended already but now we have to see a third which no one really wants to see. And it'll probably happen next year so will be lucky to see AJ fury for a long time yet.

    After the one sided beating Fury just gave Wilder I know two things about rankings, maybe Wallin is better than many gave credit, and Wilder is lucky to be considered top 5 with his terrible resume consisting of beating PBC fighters with padded resumes and avoiding every live prime opponent that came his way.

    Wilder fans doing some as serious damage limitation.

    Top 2?! hahahaha

    I'd like to see that fight made but I think it's unlikely now Wilder's a beltless contender who would no doubt still want a large chunk of change and the fight to be in America to do it.

    FWIW I think there's a good chance Wilder gets stopped early in that fight. If he doesn't then he prob KOs Joshua but my feeling has always been that he is too easy to hit and Joshua will land cleanly on him in the opening rounds and when he hurts him that he'll put him away.

    So he gets beat by a 270lb freak of nature . Yet now everyone he faces will do the same thing? **** off, if Wilder was so much of an easy beat why hasn't anyone else done the same.

    Because he fight only bums ?
    The only reason he fight Fury was because he think Fury has no power and can`t knock him out, and he knows that the judges will give him the notch. Also the referee will do all in his power to help him(as it happen this time around) and he is pretty much safe. Also he did think that he can crack that Fury glass chin.
    You get it now ?
    Worst HW champion ever. I mean he was allowed to do 5 or 6 straight voluntary defences, against absolutely nobody. His mandatory opponents was joke after joke.
    He clearly duck AJ, Povetkin, Whyte, Klitschko and the list goes on.

    He almost concussed fury in the first fight

    Come on everyone hold your horses, he needs some help in his corner, a Virgil Hill would work wonders given six months, even a lennox lewis.

    Because he has been carefully matched against other PBC fighters with padded records.

    He has effectively avoided Whyte and every other live fighter with WBC support.

    The best thing about today was the dejected look on Mauricio's face when Fury was awarded his father's green belt.

    Especially after that racist black power entrance. No place in sports for that crap. Well deserved beating he got after that crap.
