Wilder v Trevor Bryan possibly in May

I agree generally - he's never been interested in proving he's the best or in fighting incrementally better fighters to become the best, he's only ever wanted to be able to say he's the best.

Honestly, considering he struggled with relatively unproven Ortiz, I would suggest that all of the guys in question are legitimate threats to him - they're all far more proven than his best win.

I suspect you're right.

If he wanted to fix his shoddy record he'd do what I suggest, but realistically he's just not that kind of fighter.

Given his age and reliance on power, though, I'm not sure he can afford to wait two years whilst risking further hand injuries knocking out bums - this strategy has a good chance of simply fizzing out his career... But then he never was a brainy one...

 

Not really, my point is he needs to BEAT better opposition - Fury only shows what his level isn't, he was humiliated and battered across three fights, that doesn't improve a resume.

Or needs to find the courage... Which he didn't have at the peak of his reputation, so why would he now?

Realistically, he's probably going to be little more than a sideshow from here on in - and had he not held a belt, that's all he ever would've been seen as.

 

Good bout for Wilder; returns to the ring when many are crying that he's done. Shows spirit.

This guy is as good as the boxers Fury's resume is filled with; fight this guy and maybe another tune up then
move up to Ruiz or someone like him.

 

Not a bad comeback fight. A (regular) title on the line & a almost guaranteed highlight reel KO for Wilder. Haters gonna hate. Tell your favourite fighters to step up too.

 

Wilder is a warrior. hopping right back in with another future ATG heavyweight.

 

I doubt he gives a toss about his record, though. He seems like all he cares about is knocking anyone out and being hyped up as some killer and winning a world title. I don't blame him. Nobody except boxing forum users will care if he beat Bryan or Paint Dry Parker in 20 years. Paint Dry might be a couple of notches up, but that's not saying much either.

 

All, sadly, pretty much bang on.

I guess the difference is Parker has a pretty solid chin - why bother with that if all you want is more KO's?

 

Great tune up for Wilder, but he will loose his wbc ranking shurely ir his wba reg champ

 

We'll see.
Right now this is only a random rumor on a random Youtube channel, i.e. worth nothing.

 

When he gets through Bryan (which is 99.99% likely) he should look to fight Joyce, Ruiz or AJ (if he loses to Usyk again).

 

I thought Dubois was fighting Tubby Trevor and was mandatory for the WBA ridiculous belt. No idea. WBA just make it all up as they go along.

 

The WBA heavy ratings are the Bermuda triangle of boxing. Even Fees Oquendo is still somehow in the mix there recently.

 

from the looks of him at least he is in really good shape. probably a real threat there.

 

What are you going on about? I said he needs good wins. Your response is, "not exactly, what I meant was he needs to beat better oposition". I'll chalk that up to the language barrier. LOL
As far as level of opposition goes, Wilder is lacking, but so is Fury. Don't try to make the Wlad win into some monumental achievement. Wlad was not at his best, old and slow to pull the trigger. For the better part of a decade Fury's best accomplishments were beating an old Wlad and Wilder 3 times and you don't critisize that, but dump on Wilder? What kind of boxing fan are you?
