    Actually, Danny Williams would be perfect for the next Wilder's 'title defense'.

    Yes just like if Sam Peter got in shape or if Arreloa got in shape or if James Toney got in shape...See where I am going with this? An in shape Ruiz is a Cruiserweight not a Heavyweight. He is and has been morbidly obese for all of his adult life.

    If he continues to fight carnival workers and taxi cab drivers maybe but one of them may still crack that amateurishly exposed chin.

    Yes he could if he keeps fighting school teachers and taxi drivers.

    I don't even think Wilder will fight 50 times. If you told me he'll fight 10 times or less the remainder of his career I don't think I'd argue with you. He'll cash out against someone here eventually and probably lose in emphatic fashion...but 10-20-30 million dollars goes a long way in Alabama if Wilder can go that long without getting stopped before a big money fight.

    He should just face Povetkin now. He'll earn more money against him than he would against Szpilka, Arreola or tony Thompson. And the way he looked against Molina there is no guarantee he beats any of those guys.

    He wasn't a recognized world champ. In fact, the title he held doesn't even exist anymore. It was invented so Phil Jackson could win a belt.

    He made $1 million for the Stivene fight and $1.4 million for the Molina defense. That does go a long way in Alabama. And the year isn't even half over.

    :good:good

    my opinion is that's he is a short term titlist. if he stays in long enough, he will get beaten (unless he really waters the world title down to K bro type level).

    And I don't thinkhe will want to stay in boxing for long, but that's just a cursory and very approximate character reference - he sounds too vocal for that, too "tv" like hes setting himself up for some other role.

    Wilder was only in the amateurs for a short time. He's been a pro boxer for seven years. He's 29. In four years, he'll still be a young 33.

    He hasn't taken a beating. He's always in tremendous shape. He's got a huge reach. He's a bomber.

    If he was going to cash out quick, I don't think he'd have waited seven years for a title shot. There were name people offering him fights in his third or fourth years.

    All the bias, the hate and fanboy stuff aside, Wilder's upside is very good.

    He's an exciting fighter. His chin is suspect, which makes for exciting fights. But he's got an equalizer with his power.

    Americans like knock down, drag out fights. Wilder seems like the type to deliver those types of bouts.

    That said, I think he's got a good shot at making it to 50-0. While I'm looking forward to Wilder-Povetkin, I don't think Povetkin's going to be the guy to end it. He's getting pretty old, and it feels like his window has already come and gone.

    I can see Wilder and Joshua being the huge fight in two years. I just hope Joshua doesn't lose. Joshua is building such a large fan base in the UK, if Wilder can get on NBC and CBS and fight in prime time against some guys like Szpilka and Arreola, I think a matchup between Wilder-Joshua is a natural.

    If Fury beats Klitschko, all the better.

    Wilder-Joshua-Fury (who is still a young man, too) ... could lead the heavyweights into a very interesting era.

    If the Wilder vs. Fury and Joshua fights don't materialize, however, I think it'll be because Fury and Joshua lose ... not because Wilder does.

    Wilder's got a title and he's in good hands (with Haymon). Fury and Joshua still have to win their titles.

    Also, despite all the talk about how bad American heavyweights have been, you can still count all the British fighters who became heavyweight champions on one hand. It's not like Joshua is a sure thing because all the British prospects have become world heavyweight champs. There was Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, David Haye and ... ?

    We'll see how it plays out. I hope this thread gets brought back from time to time as Wilder notches another win.

    I love it when the heavyweights are the exciting division. It's been a while.
