    Wilder has a shrewd team around him so they won't think Wilder is "back" and will only take on another old shot guy like Whyte or a cash out fight against an elite guy. A banana skin fight against a Hughie Fury type won't happen.
    You think Hughie Fury could beat Wilder....even this half shot one?

      To think around 2018-19 before AJ got banana skinned by Ruiz this would have been the biggest HW PPV fight since Lennox/Tyson. The second biggest would have been AJ/Fury. Such a ****ing waste.

        Wilder looks shot like hell. I am starting to believe Clarke or Adeleye is harder opponent for Joshua.

        If Joshua wants the easiest money fight, he will fight Wilder.

          That actually would be Wilder.

            Unless he's gonna randomly start fighting for a British title or something.
            An American nobody, and I mean nobody, had been secured to fight Joshua late last year. The poor guy was in camp for the fight, only to be rung and told Joshua was instead selling out to the Jake Paul farce. Can't even remember the guy's name. Had never heard of him before and probably never will again.

              If AJ comes out the first round like he did to Ngannou Wilder will be KO, he has no legs and when pushed backwards he is on his heals losing his balance consistently.

              I think they are going to the Ngannou route instead. I rather that he retires instead of taking spots for other fighters.

                It would still do decent numbers

                  Yes easily if he wasn't caught. He should be able box his ears off. Wilder only looked halfway decent when Chisora had no legs and stood in front of him and then he looked somewhat like the old Wilder.

                  I remember watching the fight and commentating to a relative that Wilder looked like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz before Chisora's legs went.

                    Wilder's big difference maker was his right hand.
                    He doesn't have that anymore. A match with him would be easier than Jake Paul because Deontay wouldn't be running away like Jake was. Whatever anyone says about Wilder you can't say he's not willing to take shots and trade punches.

                    At this point in time AJ will Ngannou Wilder into Bolivian.

                      That was literally an 8 rounder on an undercard.
