Negro, please! You may not have ten good rounds left in you vs Usyk, let alone ten more years boxing!

Wilder, I don't even like you, but I'm still going to give u some keen advice. Don't fight Usyk, it will end bad for you. For one, whoever beats Usyk, it will take someone who has a high ring IQ, and a lot of stamina, conditioning and physical strength. You possess neither attribute. It will take someone who can fight on the inside. You can't. It will take someone who throws short punishing shots. You don't. You throw long loops from too far away, from a telegraphing, running and sometimes leaping 1st step. Beating Usyk will take someone with the ability to punch in volume and/or and in a variety of combinations to fit any situation. You don't possess this ability. You gas out fast and your hands don't punch in combination or with any variety. You'll never pose any problems that Usyk can't solve, or show him anything he hasn't seen before. Within a few rounds, it will turn into target practice, and you'll become a 6'7" punching bag. He's probably going to buzz you early in the fight to set the tone, and establish to you that he's a puncher too. Once you realize how hard and how sharply he hits, you'll be mesmerized at everything he does skill wise, while at the same time, being afraid of the power, and the accuracy. He's going to make you feel like you're in Kindergarten, like it's teacher vs. student. Once he makes you back up(and he will), your power won't mean anything at all.

Sounds like he's brain damaged.

He’s always sounded like that though.

Valid points, but you sound like Wilder's coming to win. That's not true, he's coming to get paid one last big check, then retire, I believe.

This will be an easy win for Usyk. Even if some miracle Wilder lands a punch, I don't think he throws the same concussive shots during his prime younger years. He landed some shots on Zhang and he didn't even flinch. They say your power is last to go right? Well, Wilder has lost everything already and if the power was the last to go, it's gone, lol.

The recent performances by Wilder make it look like the dude just picked up gloves and started boxing. Really bad fundamentals and looking non-elite level. He is literally the story of getting old overnight. He went from being someone to suddenly not. His Helenius KO was the last of the old Wilder. His very next fight he looked like someone entirely different and has never looked the same again.

Wilder got old in the ring early in Wilder-Fury II and the decline has been steep ever since. He needs to hang them up soon, for his own good. Yes, the short nature of many of his fights will have helped prolong his career, but he has been on the wrong end of a number of brutal KOs in a few fights and that takes something out of you even without factoring in being 40 years old.

no that was just the first time he fought a top level fighter. fury in the first fight was out of shape and rusty and thats according to wilder himself and fury still won it clearly. fury 2, 3, parker, and zhang were all legit top guys and smoked him. it wasnt a decline, it was an incline in level of opposition. even ortiz was a solid contender and gave wilder fits and ortiz was 40 years old. ortiz is nowhere near a fury, parker or zhang level so its no surprise wilder couldnt hang with better guys. it would be surprising if he could but he couldnt
