    If Wilder loses to fury again, does he go down as an absoloute bum.

    Think about it.

    His vest win would be Luis Ortiz, and he would have lost 3x to a guy he cherry picked because he thought he was shot.

    What more would there be to say.

    No. Losing to the best doesn`t mean you are a bum.

    I still pick Wilder to knock out everybody except Fury, Usyk and Joshua.

      All boxers get critisiced. Boxers who lose and comeback get less criticised than guys with unbeaten records.
      Think about that for a while

        Just a very average heavyweight title holder. There have been many before and I'm sure more to follow. His freakish power means he is always a threat but his limited skills mean top fighters should be able to beat him 9 times out of 10.

          Nah, Fury is the best in the world, there's no shame in losing to the king.

          I'd still pick him to blast out the majority of these HW stiffs.

            He goes down as Julian Jackson - a very good fighter with a lighting bolt of a right hand who's just not quite as good as the very best in his division. Wilder is still top ten, but he might not be top five. He's still top then in the world at something! His conduct with with the conspiracy theories, firing his staff, making up nonsense excuses, etc. is far more embarrassing than his record.

              Definitely not a bum, well matched with a crazy powerful right hand.

              Who knows how his career would have went had the Povetkin fight had gone ahead all those years ago.

                He has buk tier skills but overall he isn't a bum (even though I insult him a lot) he's a fraud though, not because he lost to Fury, but because he's had the most protected career ever. A disgrace as well due to the way he's acted

                  No. Last time I checked he was not a hobo or vagrant living homeless.

                  It's both laughable and lazy that you, or anyone else, would toss around the term bum to a fighter who was an Olympic medalist and a former title holder.

                  I'm no fan of Wilder and think his resume is pretty light over the course of 40+ fights but the dude is not a "bum".

                    Typical fake world champion which boxing has many of since the belts were split up. I don't regard him as a anything more than a B or C grade HW who in previous generations wouldn't have got near a world championship.

                    He would be taken apart by any top rank HW of the last 50 years. Holmes, Lewis, Holy, Tyson, Bowe, Klit, AJ.. anybody you mention would beat him very easily.
