    He definitely doesn't seem like he has the fighting spirit anymore. That tends to happen when you've made generational money and you love the life (family, etc) you've earned for yourself. "Happy Wilder" isn't the Wilder you want in the ring. And ring rust is a real thing.

      Who cares about Wilder-AJ? If AJ didn't lose to a fat Ruiz and Wilder didn't get his head caved in from Fury, they could have fought years ago. Both guys blew it and ruined it because they couldn't handle business

Get rid of Scott as a trainer. Just be windmill again & go in there with a seek & destroy attitude. Win those 2 fights then look for a big fight for the fall. Inactivity does him no good. Either stay active or retire. There are fights still out there. Parker is a 31 year old former world champion with a lot of experience. Most here in NSB have always disregarded Parker for some reason. This wasn’t some massive upset. Let’s see what Wilder does going forward. I’d be looking at securing a fight in late March if he chooses to continue. I would target Wallin. Both fought & lost to Fury & both are coming off disappointing losses.

        Whoever loses retires...

            At Wilder's age, there is not much left for him in boxing, If you look at his last four fights, I think it tells the tale. He can KO lesser fighters. Or he can be found out against top 10 fighters. His cardio conditioning has looked suspect when tested. consistent with Breland's revelations of indifferent training, and at 38+ this can't really be turned around, it will just get worse.

            Wilder's a tough man and he can punch very hard, but his boxing skills are inferior to the likes of Usyk, Fury, Joshua, Parker, Ruiz, Zhang, Hrgovic, etc. Might be time to get out, while he still has all his faculties intact.
            Good post!

              Like others have said... Wilder won't beat top 5 fighters anymore.
              He'll only win vs 2nd tier ones. Time for a farewell fight, then retirement.

                  He should fight Miller next.
                  Miller would probably be able to eat right hands for a few rounds. It might be a good fight to come back to then maybe Wallin after that.

                    Stopped following most boxing, same as you now just watching the heavyweights pretty much.

                    Merry Christmas Joe
