    Once you lose once, it's the only thing to do.

    Wilders best opponents were Luis Ortizn't who was always massively overrated by the Wilder fanbois of the LDBC to help legitimise his pisspoor resume and Bermane Stiverne who's best win was beating up over the hill Chris Arreola (who incidentally, Wilder fealt compelled to give a voluntary to).

    Fury is the first genuine world level heavyweight that Wilder has faced and he got beat.....twice. Wilder cannot and will not adjust and now every half decent heavyweight knows that to beat Wilder, you back him up and bully him into submission as he has no game going backwards.

    Wilder is this generations Michael Grant only a slightly better 2.0 version. Just a for instance, could you see Wilder doing any better against Lewis than what Grant did?

    After that performance Wilder falls to like 7 in the division. Povetkin could still ice him. Anyway he won’t retire too much money can be milked but he is fully exposed now and will in short time just be a stepping stone for the up and comers. I hope he does leave with his health intact

    Wilder has plenty of options such as lose to Fury a third time, continue on his can crushing mission or fight one of the other PBC fighters like Kownacki, Ruiz or even Martin. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't give a flying frig either way.

    What matters is that the Undisputed Heavyweight crown will likely be contested by 2 Brits and that makes me very happy. Wilder has been exposed as opposed to, in his own opinion, a destroyer of past greats and the best Heavyweight on the planet.

    If he hadn't constantly harped on about wanting a body on his record and being so damned disrespectful to other fellow fighters, I wouldn't be enjoying this moment half as much......Karma methinks

    He is still number 2. Fury is just levels above the rest. I favour Wilder to KO chinny Joshua.

    He should. Hes rich with a young family. But he probably deserves going out better than he did last night. Usually guys end up getting beat like that after getting too old. They can walk away knowing age beat them. But wilder doesnt really have that excuse. He was just beating by the much better man.

    If it was me theres enough oppertunity in that division....to come back and get some credible wins without taking too much damage with wilders style. Fury of last night would have done that to a lot of them.

    Its a case of fight by fight basis from now tho. You dont want to be tsking beatings like lsst night often if you dont need to. Another defeat and its pretty much over from here. Should work towards joshua now. Couple of decent wins beforehand. If he can get that far.

    Mate, Fury was literally just out of rehab and he still beat him. Back to proper Fury and he battered him into submission, easily.

    So because Fury beat Wilder, that means every other HW beats Wilder and he should retire?
