    Kownacki looks like he should retire but he would be a perfect comeback fight for Wilder of Wilder is lookig for an easy ko. Wilder vs Helnius would be good too

      I just think Ruiz walks on to one early, it’s an nice style matchup for Wilder IMO.

          Providing Wilder isn’t damaged good after taking a lot of punishment last night, I still think he potentially beats anyone not named Fury.

          I think certain guys like Usyk for example could definitely potentially beat Wilder too but Wilder is still a very tough fight for anyone in the division.

              Both of them probably need to retire

              both took sustained beatings that are hard to come back from

                I agree, I just highly doubt that Wilder is now the same man that started the fight last night. He took real punishment in there.

                I really don’t see him fighting again. He made so much money and his whole persona and ego was defined by being champ and in the conversation as the best. Now it’s clearly proven he’s not.

                I really don’t see him willing to fight in non title fights on PBC for a couple of million dollars. I think he feels it’s beneath him now, if I’m judging his mentality right.

                  If he fights again it will be to build up one last big money battle.

                  A Kownacki (or similar setup) KO followed by Joshua would still be my bet. Titles or not, that fight will sell big.

                  If he feels he has enough money then he should just retire now. There's no point trying to work the long way back at his age. And it would be sad to see him in gatekeeper fights.

                  Sadly, I think Kownacki will be a punchbag for a fair while yet.

                    I know Wilder just got knocked out, but I don't think they'll set the bar so low for his return fight. Helenius is more likely imo, maybe Ruiz

                      I want to see wilder v whyte, joyce, hrgovic, ruiz, parker, josh, usyk. But I'm not sadistic and don't expect it in next fight. Let him rebuild against bums
