Is Wilders career effectively over if Fury stops him again

[FinlandsFinest]

Who knows....

But we can ask the same about Fury, can't we. If Wilder stops him in brutal fashion, like he's planning to, does Fury retire? Or would anyone be surprised if Hearn will still push for a meaningless AJ-Fury fight?

I would answer the same as I did before ^

Both Fury and Wilder still got other people in the division they got fight. But Fury would be out of the title picture for sure.

[FinlandsFinest]

I wouldn't say career is over but he needs to fight anyone not named fury. Look at chisora he has best resume in division. He's fought everyone.He loses most though and he's still fighting

Chisora has been done dirty many times too. He beat Dillian in the first fight, and he recently beat Joseph "NoDogInHim" Parker and got robbed

[QballLobo]

No doubt and it’s the real reason he pushed so hard for a third fight he likely loses against Fury.
He knew if AJ/Fury started a series of fights he’d be on the outside of the HW title picture for good. They would have 2-3 fights over the next few years while he’d be fighting leftovers while he hits his mid to late 30’s.

He'll just go on a 10 bum KO streak to rebuild. Then it's Ortiz 3.

as a wilder fan....yeah probably........and at that point im not sure what his desire would be....he might want another fight to go out on a winning note knocking someone out....but at his age the desire would prob be gone....wilder will have made close to 100 mil in the last few years...not too shabby...he could call it a career

but i think wilder is going to suprise us here...

Dude has like 6 kids. Win or lose he’s not going anywhere. What’s he going to do for the rest of his life work at Starbucks? He might be done earning top dollar paydays if he loses but he will continue to fight.

you may be right...i say nothing with certainty regarding his future......but hes essentially 36 years old......and by the time the 3rd fury fight comes off he will have made close to 100 mil the last few years.....ward has 4 kids and didnt make nearly the same money wilder has......granted i know ward knew he had a commentating gig ready to go......but if wilder isnt completely ****** with his money thats enough for him and 6 kids to build a future......something would come up for wilder to keep him entertained...open up a church or something........not saying youre wrong...i could totally see your take happening...i just wouldnt be shocked that if wilder got knocked out again hed lose his passion...he doesnt need money at the moment....

Have you seen Wilders wife compared to Wards. She’s a little more Saks 5th Ave than Wards. 100 million is a lot of money but at the same time Wilder seems to be living it up. But at the same time you could be right too. So I guess we will just have to see.

His career would only be over if he wants or allows it to be.

If Fury has his number, it is what it is. It's not like that suddenly means he no longer knocks out the other top heavyweights.

Wilder's goal if he loses should be to get Joshua in the ring.

That won't happen for a long time.

If Wilder loses by ko he will have 2 devastating ko losses back to back, no wins for 2 years and be 2-1-2 in his last 5.

He will also be 36 years old, probably closer to 37 by the time he has his first comeback fight, that's what Wilder fans don't seem to get, he's not 28, he's 36, he's OLD.


I know Wilder fans want belive he can come back, ko Ortiz in Wilder vs Ortiz VIII and be right back in line for a title shot but the reality is there will be several mandatories in front of him in the queue and he will have to likely face some top contenders to get back to the top.

I don't belive he will be able to beat top contenders.

So yeah, I think Wilder has to get it done this time, because he's not got time to lose at his age, he's old.

I agree. But the winner and AJ, has to be the next fight. It's about time, correct?
