    I get it. But let 'em have a third fight. I don't see lots of other options. AJ has a couple mandatories, so he won't be fighting Fury, or ANY good fighter, like ever.

    And the first fight was indeed competitive. Maybe the third one will be.

This is different than when AJ lost because, even if you hated AJ, you knew that Ruiz just had a lucky/good night when he won. AJ proved that thouroughly in the rematch. In this fight Wilder was dismantled, embarrassed and clowned to the point of People in the crowd feeling bad for him. That’s a far cry from screaming “bombsquad” after beating up on another bum hahah. I have said for years that if Wilder ever fought someone decent, he would lose and lose in a bad way. He is lucky that is wasn’t AJ that did it because AJ would have swarmed him and made him into a worse meme than he already is right now hahahaha. I’m not a Fury fan, but I am glad that Fury won because Wilder was holding that belt hostage for years and he had no plans to unify, ever. I think deep down, he and his team knew that they would lose to AJ. There’s no other reason as to why he would duck 120 million and unification to go fight for 10% of that. Now hopefully AJ and Fury can fight for 50/50 and all the marbles. Now THAT fight I would buy on PPV

      Not lucky night etc. But the fact that AJ has basic boxing skills he could improve on, and had options of how to fight Ruiz. Wilder doesn't even have basic balance.....

        I don't see the point in him having a career if he can't regroup and beat Fury.

        I think he owes it to himself to try to learn how to sneak his power shots in better and learn more of them. He should pull a Fury and hire Banks. It's only one loss.

        Then if he still can't beat Fury, call it a day on this boxing gig.


        I don't see the point in him beating guys and working the ranks so he never faces the champion. That makes no sense.

        I damn sure would not advocate him getting Josh's belts and avoiding Fury while holding them. If he fights and beats Joshua before Fury does then he best get his ass in that ring with Tyson again.

        Outside of that his option is avoiding both champions and becoming the gatekeeper. All Wilder would be doing is making a little change while KOing no hopers before they got to the champion then abandoning the mandatories for one title to win mando for another. That's how you hold top position in the ranking without fighting the champion. Work up a ranking board, win the elim, jump ship to the next body, repeat. CM fought Washington for the IBF elim. Do we really want Wilder in that mix while avoiding a rematch with Fury?

          Wilder doesn't have basic boxing ability hahahaha. He never did. He was a fraud that was propped up for ****** fans to believe that we had a great American heavyweight champion. But he reused to fight the best guys for 6 years now and when he finally did fight someone decent, he got badly exposed. Whyte, AJ, Povetkin, they ALL could have done this to him which is why he never would fight them. He's done at the top level and I am glad because he held that damn belt hostage for years

              I'm a Fury fan and have already seen Fury beat Wilder twice using different styles.

              No interest in a 3rd fight and will not be buying it or supporting it.

              Fury-Whyte or the Joshua fight next please.

                3rd fight would be a complete waste of time. The fight wasn't even competitive, what the hell do people expect to see in a 3rd fight? We saw all we needed to see in the first two fights.

                  I agree with Max Kellerman. Wilder won 2 rounds in 19 rounds at best. Why fight again? Its only gonna hurt his career .

                    He is not a fraud tho..... Thats what yall fail to get. He is a guy with dangerous punching power. He overachieved in his pro and amateur boxing careers.

                    I root for him cuz of that, he shouldn't even be where he is at, he is a true underdog.

                    He was been exposed proably 10 fights ago! Right or wrong? The problem was surviving 12 rounds with him.

                    Fury is universally recognized as the most skilled HW.

                    Of course promotion wise he was gonna get hyped to the universe. But thats the point of promotion

                      He has to take this re-match at this stage of his career he really doesn't have any further options.
                      Get a whole new set of trainers which he should have done after the first Ortiz fight and go from their.
                      Win lose or draw he has no better option.

                      He's at his crossroads in boxing, just like AJ was not too long ago.

                      At least give him the chance to go out better than that.
