Comments Thread For: Bronze Bombed Out: Zhang Knocks Out Wilder in Sixth Round

[NC Uppercut]

The Wilder Era is over, and has been for a minute. Hopefully Jared Anderson can step up and become our next American Heavyweight Champion. Aside from Anderson, I think we might be dealing with some slim pickings.
Wilder enjoy your life outside the squared circle.

Fury’s best win continues to age horribly

[BlackRobb]

Zhang vs. Dubois or Zhang vs. Parker II next

But to be honest, Parker should be next in line for a title shot.

No... the fight was there to be made but Hearn and Joshua wanted to age and shop wear Wilder even right up to the Parker fight.

Prime Wilder always had AJ's number he just wasn't prepared to sell himself short.

Joshua choosing his sparring partner and an MMA guy even recently says he's always quacked over facing Wilder.

Just like AJ is ducking Parker now and always has since jobbing him off his belt 6 years ago.

Easiest way to prove AJ has the heart of a champion and the balls of a warrior is to rematch Parker.

More than likely he'll pick over the carcass of Parkers victims and fight the tired old Chinaman.

You're dreaming. He went with Ngannou precisely because Wilder crapped out when the fight was signed.

No-one was ever aging out Wilder. Everyone wanted him.

I'm rewatching Wilder v Ortiz 1 right now. He looks a bit younger,a bit more confident, but it's the exact same Wilder.

RIP Wilder. You had a decent career. Not HOF worthy though.

He is easily going to the hall. He might finish with the highest ko% in history. There are way less deserving guys that are in the hall than wilder

[True That]

Sad day. I was hoping to see a Joshua vs. Wilder fight at least once. It should have happened years ago when both had the 4 belts. Very sad for boxing that, that fight did not happen. Even now as faded and lackluster of a fight as it is I still want to see it one day before both are gone. Not much of a fight now but still want to see it at least once.

Ngannou had no business being anywhere near a pro boxing ring.

AJ splatters the MMA guy and suddenly he's this unbeatable monster full of confidence again ?...GTFOH!

Maybe he should fight a legit boxer, preferably one ranked inside the top 10 who isn't old, shot and tired just to prove he's that guy ?


Oh...and Hearn never made Prime Wilder an offer he couldn't refuse. And AJ doesn't call anyone out plus your have to beat him twice.

The guy is as much a pampered, protected princess as ever there was.

Zhang vs. Dubois or Zhang vs. Parker II next

But to be honest, Parker should be next in line for a title shot.

Parker is WBO mando and has nothing to prove rematching Zhang.

Whyte and AJ...sure but he's already called them out and all we've heard from their camp is *CRICKETS*

[Phase III]

Wilder had been finished. He didn’t deserve to be brought back. His trainer is awful. Please don’t bring him and his manager Mr. Magoo back.

Way too cautious to win any more significant fight against large, small, medium opponent.
The confidence is gone. Retirement is the only option.
