    Nah, I seriously doubt he goes 51-0 or 50-0.

    If he fights a bunch of bums and tomato cans then yeah he'll do it. But if he fights the top Heavyweights consistently then nope, I don't see it.

      Joke about him but he also the WBC champ in his own division and he's not more fighting scrubs than Deontay.

      He's the number 2 in his division...just like Wilder.

        I view AJ vs. Wilder as a 50/50 fight, so if they fight twice, it's hard to see Wilder winning both. If he somehow wins both, then I see 50-0 as being somewhat plausible. But that's a big if as clearly AJ & Wilder are the two best boxers in the world and it's unlikely either of them would beat the other twice in a row.
        Here is where we disagree, bro. AJ's biggest advantage over Wilder is in technique. Everything else Wilder does better (save for the upper cut - AJ's strongest punch). Wilder has the best right hand, better jab, better stamina, better speed, more power, better movement, pivots well, can fight on both front and back foot. What makes it a 50-50 fight then? Wilder wins both in convincing fashion. Hope AJ mans up to fight Wilder. That's the delay. Not sure AJ is in the top 2 - can he beat Ortiz? I am not sure of that.

        Fury-Wilder seems the trickier fight if Fury is able to find himself albeit not as likely. Even then, Wilder needs one punch to erase Fury over 36 minutes while both guys are awkward too.

          The record is 49-0 not 50 and yes he can break it. Few more years of cherry picking, easy work.

            Hell no. He's an accident waiting to happen, which is the reason I want to see the AJ fight next.

              There is a curse as you get closer. He is a HW and one punch can put him away.

                He has to retire after for it to be the record. Chavez snr was already 89-0.

                  What makes it a 50-50 fight is that AJ has a big weight advantage and is the much bigger commercial property. Wilder has a tendency to give away rounds, AJ has a tendency (like most top superstars) of being given some rounds he doesn't deserve, and that combination makes winning a decision difficult for Wilder.

                    No, because his bum fighting days are over. With all the blabbing about wanting to fight the best he's put himself into a position where he must fight top opposition only. What are the biggest fights for him? Joshua, Whyte, Povetkin. Fury and Hay if they ever come back. Maybe Big Baby (not top but undefeated) or Parker or an Ortiz rematch.

                    Let's see who will Wilder fight next. He wants no part of Whyte or Povetkin, but he seems very eager to fight Kownacki (a novice) or Breazeale, who got beat from pillar to post by Joshua.

                      If he beats Joshua then yes, he will surpass 50-0. That's when I will sit back and watch all the Floyd fans lose their collective minds and start tearing down Wilder. Right now they are all on the Wilder train, right up until he starts sneaking up on 50-0.
