Wilder's next opponent

[daggum]

Have you ever seen Makhmudov fighting? he is a dangerous guy.

no i havent seen him fight but i see he went the distance recently with 40 year old takam so not a good sign. rest of his resume is full of old stiffs.

Yes, but you haven`t seen his fights. he is a typical high risk low reward opponent.

well if hes too dangerous wilders team will rule him out for sure and like i said hes not with pbc so not much chance the fight ever happens

they are probably just lying. if they offered sanchez or zhang 4 million the fight would be done. wilder's team have been doing a media blitz recently because they know wilder is becoming irrelevant while everyone else continues to fight.

The Malik clown could have said $2 million and still would be a lie.
That's Wilder's highest purse prior to being associated with Joshua.
And he's the main fighter in that fight, not the opponent.

Wilder should still box Joshua. He would probably knock him out pretty easily.

Probably not. Wilder is 38 old inactive guy. Since two terrible losses to Fury he has fought only his sparing partner, for 1 round.

I think every top 10 heavyweight beats him right now.

Useless media as usual didn't ask who those opponents are.

That's because most of the boxing "media" consists of young male fanboys with a smartphone and YouTube channel looking for "muh content".

I think he won't fight until and if both he and AJ manage to finally arrange a fight. Then he will retire. It will be good if I am wrong and he finally finds some courage and faces 2-3 top 10 guys.

Well he doesn't seem overly interested in boxing again unless it's for Saudi type money which doesn't seem to be available to him right now against Joshua, so I don't think we will see him in the ring again unless somebody comes up with that kind money.

Joshua is kind of in a similar position but he's just taking quite easy fights while he tries to get big money.

Hearn said him and AJ had a two fight plan, Wilder and Fury, if AJ got past Wilder. That sounds to me like a fighter with one foot out the door, trying to get 1 or 2 last paydays.

That's basically where I see Wilder too, except he's not even bothering with staying busy, so I'd say he's semi retired unless the money is right.
