    No one knows who Wilder is now outside of boxing purists, so no one will remember him in 10 years if his career continues the way it has (Fury fight aside).

    In my position as steward of the windmills I will be delighted to welcome you to our august group and pleased to send you your personalised identity card, t-shirt and ceremonial paper windmill as soon as I receive your bank details and a breakdown of your assets for distribution to the group.

    Ah but not for boxing. I predict Wilders contribution to quantum physics will long outlast his exploits in the ring. We can not be long from the Yulaversal theory of everything...

    He’s barely known today, as an active WBC heavyweight champ. Pair that with the fact youngsters today idolise reality ‘stars’, YouTubers and gamers I doubt it very much. Whatever field you’re in, you’d have to be a once in a lifetime athlete to maybe be remembered in 100 years

    Case in point, I remember Baer, Corbett and Schmeling, I consider myself hardcore and have no clue who
    Jack Sharkey is........... I don't realistically see any one of these guys being remembered. Hell........... in another
    100 years, I think the only two boxers that may even be remembered will be Ali and Tyson.

    its quite possible in 100 years some people on the internet will be swearing blind that 9 foot tall freaks, in their 3rd career, who throw 2 punches a round are way too evolved for someone like wilder.

    I would love to join, however sometimes I think that my own personal beliefs will deny me entrance to this noble order. I believe that Deontay is the most powerful man on earth, second only to Charles Martin who is an all powerful being. As for assets I have a few used bars of soap I would be more than happy to gift to the order of the most revered windmill.
