It is a comeback when you've been down and out - a genuine KTFO - against Zhang, and you're losing 4 of your last 5 fights.

Wilder is a one trick pony, it is a hell of a trick but he can't pull the trigger anymore. He used to stay way jabbing and try his one two but he doesn't have those reflexes anymore and his lack boxing skills will not get him through any decent opposition.

Wilder is dreaming in colours
He can call it wtv he wants but his next fight should be retirement

if your one trick only works agaisnt Pbc bums it's probably not that good of a trick after all. The marketing was the trick

He doesn’t deserve it, but a win or 2 vs nobody may well get him a borderline or major fight. Scroll down rankings and it gets unknown, underserved and unmarketable fast.

This is not a hard bunch of dots to connect. Joshua and Wilder can earn big money fighting each other if they both pick up wins. No secret. I keep pointing to Kell Brook and Amir Khan. They were both way past their prime and their fight was way past the sell by date, but everyone involved made good money from their way overdue grudge match. That is Joshua and Wilder. Point for point. It will not be the huge event it could have been when both were undefeated HW champs, but the legacy part of this fight will sell just fine. Both get a nice payday, the winner gets another bigger payday.

It does not matter at all and both are husks of what they were, but it is an easy to sell grudge match.

I don’t agree and think this will flop unless it’s in the UK cause they’d buy tickets to just about anything
Not sure their will be much interest from the US or the rest of the world
Both fighters are as stale as a two week old bread

Wilder always some crazy stuff in his interviews. What he sees as insightful, most just view as gibberish.

Well yeah there wasn't much interest in the US in wilder even in his prime.
