    He's a name and also a name that will come up on a resume out of context legacy wise. Not sure what the promotional dynamics are?

    Joshua. The winner of that will obviously keep going, but the loser can (and should) walk away from the sport with a massive payday. It'd be explosive and great entertainment too, even if the meaning and broader implications of the fight are nothing like they used to be.

    It's kind of hard to understand what Del Boy was thinking, unless he was just that overconfident.

    He wanted to wear him down obviously but even at 250-255 that would have worked. Tbh I thought he finished stronger and edged the fight but it was pretty close. Can't really cry robbery either way.

    A big pay day vs Joshua makes sense to me.

    Both fighters are considerably past their best.

    Wilder seems to lack the killer instinct now but he still has power to hurt Joshua IMO.

    Joshua is probably lacking confidence atm but it's still a winnable fight for him.

    I wouldn't mind seeing it it's a big name for both fighters and its probably the most winnable fight for both men against a notable name.

    Usyk wanted to face Wilder, if I'm not mistaken ~ They almost fought during the 2008 Olympics, had Usyk not been eliminated.

    I feel if Miller wins his title elimination fight with Pero, maybe a Wilder Miller fight for the #1 spot for the WBA
