    It’s sad seeing him doing this to his body. The hunger, drive, zeal and passion for the sport is no longer there.In other words; He no longer has the fight in him.

    Obviously, this fight is a money grab for a potential AJ showdown. Largely because he is either broke or no longer have the same amount of money that he used to.

      Chasing good looking women and child support are not cheap hobbies in America. We seen this with many athletes, most tend to be men that come from single parent households. Crawford might be next if he doesn't start wrapping it up. He stated he has 6 kids and one on the way with a different women. Like wtf. That new women is only looking at his bank account. Oh well.

          Survival for who Wilder? In your case, you shouldn’t be fighting anymore. People like Eddie Hearn and your weasel manager Shelly Finkel, pimp you and AJ to insure they get another payday.

            He needs to look at his resume and realize he was fed stiff after stiff. He doesn’t have the skills to compete at this late stage of his career.

              I was a fan of both Wilder & Aj until 2018 when they (eddie) avoided undesputed over money. Never have 2 heavyweights reigned for so long without seeing who's the best.

              Name 1 prime elite heavyweight either have beaten? They should both walk away from the sport happy healthy & very wealthy.

              I personally hope Wilder gets rag dolled just like Aj did against Dubois.

                Fury and Wilder did their part. Three times!

                Joshua was kept outside the top two, and never had a crack at the world title; which he'd earned.

                i suspect that Matchroom chose money over legacy.
                And that's what they got.

                  I don't begrudge him the AJ fight.

                  Both are done. And it's not like it's going to be a long drawn out fight where you worry about unduly about big damage.

                  It's all done either way in 3/4 rounds. Neither can hold clean right hand from the other in a month of Sundays

                  Pension fight.

                    I'd have a lot more respect for Wilder if he had the guts to make an unreserved public apology to Mark Breland for the crazy accusations he levelled against him.
