    Personally, I am hoping he can make the cut for CW it seems like he has nothing to offer now, all his future victories will only be reflected upon in a bad light looking back at the Fury fights he has to beat Tyson Fury or simply step down IMO for his legacies sake.

    He's done. He will sputter around fighting a bum every couple of years, like Cooney or Mitch Green.

    As much as I hate the guy, I actually thought that he believed his own bull****, and argued that we would indeed see him again. And then we heard from multiple sources that the mediation/arbitration was all about money, and had nothing to do with fighting Fury again.

    That, coupled with the fact we never heard from the guy until the contract had expired, and tripled with the fact that he himself accidentally revealed that he wanted no part of Joshua, pretty much tell the story that he knows that he is garbage and would likely lose of anybody slightly better than Szpilka or Duhaupas now that he has been exposed.

    Yeh, I was somewhat coming around to him a while back and he has some exciting attributes and heart.
    But, not that I count for anything except that maybe my view reflects that of many others, I'm completely fed up with him.

    Got a feeling he's going to linger in the background sort of blocking the division up. Hope I'm wrong ... if he comes out and fights Whyte or Ruiz that'd be great.

    Considering the state of Murica, he'll probably get a book deal and do a signing event at Harvard.

    I’m pretty sure Wilder can still beat fighters like Helenius, Martin etc, I’d love to see him against one of them to get back on track...

    As of now the only HW proven he cannot beat is Fury. So, he has some potential left.

    He made so much money I’m sure he’ll be fine. That’s until that trophy wife leave him. The WHOLE HW division owe AJ at least 10% of their lifetime earnings because he’s the reason they all made big money. Because of the DAZN offer made to him Showtime/FOX/PBC gave wilder $20 million each for Breazeale and Ortiz, $25 million vs Fury on the rematch and I’m positive he’ll get $20 million vs Andy Ruiz soon.

    Meanwhile ,because Wilder needed a credible opponent to counter AJ, Fury career was brought to life and he to received $20 million each for Wallin and Schwartz, $25 million in the Wilder rematch and now probably $100+ Million in two fights vs AJ.

    Ortiz was given $7 million in the Wilder rematch to decline the same offer to face AJ. And now Andy Ruiz was given two big paydays vs AJ and now in line to make $10 million vs Arreola and much more vs Wilder later.

    Where are you getting your numbers from? And yes I am too lazy to Google right now. I just don't see Fatboy Slim making $10million against Arreola.

    They put him on PPV because the couldn’t afford his purse demand. I could be wrong but Michael Montero who works for ringtv said it on his podcast.

    He went years and years scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    How about Stiverne III, Revenge of the fallen/Dawn of the Dinosaurs/The last crusade/The last stand/Revence of the S**t.

    Windmill v Dustin Nicholls 2 has got to happen. There's unfinished business there.

    He'll fight a bum because he'll KO them and get the whole world talking again for some reason. "Yo did you see Wilder KO that dude last night?"
    "Yeah HE'S BACK!"
    Meanwhile the dude he fought: Ranked 245th in the world
