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

There you go

Always talking about being betrayed. Wilder seems paranoid.

Wilder will win against this unknown person and he'll act dramatic and scream Bomb Squaaad, and it will mean absolutely nothing.

I'm still waiting for Wilder to release the Kraken- all of the so- called evidence that Mark Breland spiked his water bottle against Fury. Wilder slandered this good man's name. A humble man who barely ever speaks, and never bragged about his extensive accomplishments in boxing. Breland is the complete opposite of Wilder, who was a loud, obnoxious braggart who was in love with his power but never refined his craft. He went far on natural ability but now he's all bashed up and his brain is mush, reflexes are shot.
He's just another Marcellus Wilder now, a limited, weak chinned punching bag. I know every heavyweight out there is chomping at the bit to get an opportunity to be the next one to knock his ass clean out... AGAIN

I'm not messing with dude ever since he did that to Mark Breland. As a matter of fact, I'm about to go rewatch Tyson Fury walk him down and knock his ass out again in the 2nd fight. THEN I'm gonna watch Chinese Power put him to sleep

This goofy bastard, 80 IQ st best.

Well, he fights nobody, so he will probably win.

Ironically, the "Bomb Squad" chant is never more relevant now that Wilder can hardly pull the trigger to set off his bombs.
A bomb squad is a team called in to defuse and/or otherwise disable explosives before they explode.

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.

And I for one would love to see it ! Wilder v Joshua in tuning in for sure.

Personality disorders are a real thing. There is an orange guy who acts the same way proclaiming greatness while failing nonstop.

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.

He hasn't had the reflexes in 4 of his last 5 fights, but then they were against top level fighters. Well, if you include the wobbly and careless version of Fury that showed up in the third fight.

My prediction is that he'll suddenly remember how to "pull the trigger" now he's back in with a fighter of the level he was knocking out before he stepped up.

I don't doubt he's diminished, I just doubt that his aging was the main contributor to him not being able to getting punches away.
