    Oh, I agree.

    I'm not saying he should carry on, I think he's finished.

    I was just saying if he was to carry on it might be a cash out fight and there aren't many of those left for him.

    It's not like he's the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with.

    He’s not the best but that’s been clear for years, people want him to stop fighting and retire is amazing to me to hear about considering these days what we need are big fights with twists n turns.

    Not to mention wilders always have a punchers chance.

    Agreed. Doesn't he have like 7 kids too? Unless he's been dumb with his earnings, he's got enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Time to retire, raise his kids, enjoy the good life that he's earned.

    Given that he couldn't pull the trigger against someone to literally standing in front of him? I don't think he even has that now.

    I would very much like to see this
    “tooth pick legged” Deontae
    vs “The Donut Destroyer” Ruiz.

    Without a doubt money speaks in boxing that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day,if the powers that be think Wilder can still bring in money he will certainly be offered more opportunity’s even with his best days behind him.

    No he doesn't. All his kids are with different women. They'll be taking him to the cleaners for child support payments for years. Plus he has a daughter with a lifelong medical condition. And a ton of leeches and yes-men sucking him dry. And he clearly loves his fancy cars and designer suits. Does that scream broke before you're forty five? It does to me.

    Wilder’s mother wants him to retire. I wonder if he’ll honor his mothers wishes and hang them up.

    I guess you’ve had hailed Wilder as an Elite?
    He’s like Shavers, very respectable and overrated in fanbases but there’s no way he can go down.

    boxing is a huge world there’s ton of options, he doesn’t have to be great in terms of competition but overall figure in boxing.

    Lol, yeah that's a fight that makes sense. I had always favoured Wilder in this match up but now I'm picking The Donut Destroyer to devour Wilder. Fury set the blue print, keep backing Wilder up and he's completely negated and Ruiz as long as he shows up only obese and not morbidly obese can likely keep Wilder backing up and unable to fire off the right hand.

    Like wise
    I have consistently said
    “Deontae punches a hole through Ruiz Donut head.”
    But now he is too gun shy & Ruiz will likely slip the one & done right &
    catch Deontae with his greased lightning
    Combo fat hands.

    Bloody hell legs completely gone. Thought it might be inactivity but he's completely done.

    Even Parker wasn't seen as a risk at the time.

    No more than a punchers chance.
