    That last bit is easy to forget. I don't particularly enjoy watching a guy slowly get years knocked out of him over and over.

    Getting that $100m+ off DAZN and one definitive stoppage at the hands of Joshua would have been far better for his long-term health than the route he took betting on himself. His family will want for nothing, but the bag he dropped all those years back was a much safer route to financial security (and for a chance at Undisputed no less). smh

    Me admitting Wilder is shot and needs to retire doesn't change the fact AJ is cruising on cans and needs to step it up.

    Wilder looked ok tonight lean and mean and his fast twitch muscle was there problem is he was always a fraud and I been loud and clear about that for a decade. Povetkin would have destroyed him and ended the gravy train long ago.

    They looked like that were already lining the fight up the last few weeks.
    If Wilder had won, they probably weren't going to match him with Anderson with a 2 to 3 month turn around, and no way Wilder would have agreed to it. Instead, they would have tried to rekindle the idea of a Joshua fight. So, to me that means they were probably expecting Wilder to lose to Zhang. In which case I doubt the plans have changed. Maybe it gets delayed because of how little resistance Wilder put up tonight.
    I could be wrong, but we shall see, I guess

    The way he turned his back after getting stunned to then turn back around onto the KO punch would have been embarrassing enough a mistake for a novice to make. Absolutely atrocious.

    This is the bit where everyone suddenly knew all along that Wilder was never any good.

    I hope you're wrong wilder needs to retire and Anderson has better fights to take than that.

    He was a long reigning champion by fighting guys who were barely fringe contenders and sometimes journeyman while scores of better fighters were available, all the while calling himself champion and bad mouthing real champions like Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko.

    So the answer would be a fraud in the most literal and demonstrable sense.

    I have bumped two of my threads that show that I have been saying so for nine years.
