    I'm not even a Fury or Wilder fanboy to your surprise.

    No one would be the same fighter after taking those two beatings against Fury.

    When did I ever say I was a Wilder fanboy?

    Do you think Wilder that fought Parker would have beaten the Wilder of 2017/2018? No chance in hell.

    Wilder is done mentally. That's not a good thing in boxing. I'm sure he has plenty in the bank, so I would walk away now with my health intact.

    Because he is finished.

    Do you actually think boxers dont ever age and diminish as age and punishment catches up to them?

    Wilder mounted more offence in two rounds against Fury in the second fight than he did in the whole Parker fight.

    He needs to retire.

    Keep saying this but do you really think the Wilder that got dominated by Parker would stand any chance against the Wilder of 6/7 years ago?

    He is a very different fighter to when he was in his best days.

    Respect to Wilder for taking on a tough matchup as this. One good win and he is back at the Joshua fight.

    Technically he is poor, used to be better under Breland, if he cant land flush he is losing to any top 20 HW out there.

    Ruiz Jr, Dubois, Kabayel, Sanchez, Joyce, White, are his best options to get back on top.

    I get your point but I think you're confusing sluggers with those who are swarmers. They have a difference sluggers and swarmers. These guys like Chisora, Kownacki, Miller, could say Whyte and Joyce are all swarmers.

    Do you think Wilder that got dominated by Parker stands any chance against the Wilder of 6/7 years ago?

    He should retire unless he is willing to go into a war.

    What’s wrong with the state of his legs?

    It’s a good job Parker hasn’t been in any tough fights or been knocked out recently otherwise it would have been even more one sided then.

    Oh wait I almost forgot he also got pasted by Joyce recently.

    Thats not how boxing work. Its all about styles matches. Strategy, gameplans, tactics, etc, etc, plays big role as well.

    He’s exactly the same.

    Walks backwards to the ropes with his right hand cocked and pawing out that pathetic left jab like he’s trying to stroke a kitten “ I only need 1 second, they need to be perfect all fight” etc etc.

    Exactly the same as in pretty much every other fight he’s had.
