Wilder considered going down to Cruiserweight less than 2 years ago, should he?

I think he could probably manage, but why would he? What's down there for him?
He can pick his career back up with some more big KOs and a win over a respectable opponent. With the right moves, he will be fighting for a title again in a few fights.Comment

What's down there is easy KOs that would look good on the highlight real and could build him up again. He said he wants to fight until 40. He can use the excuse that he was forcing himself to fight above Cruiserweight, and unify the division in Usyk's absence. Then, fight the Heavyweight champ down the line. If he rematches Fury by the August 2020 deadline, he's going to get wreak so bad that a comeback won't be possible.Comment

He lost to the #1 heavyweight in a beat down who is a bad style matchup for anyone even historically speaking. 6'9", quick on his feet, defensively responsible, and heavy.
Wilder can still ice most boxers out there right now because none of them have Fury's size and height coupled with his size and skill.
In my opinion Fury beat Wilder twice and if they go at it again he likely stops Wilder again due to style match up barring a one punch KO.
As for Wilder I always thought he should be 250ish given his height of 6'7". That power in the right hand is not going anywhere and he can be outboxed by mediocre boxers so he doesn't have a need to move much. Why not couple his height with some weight to tie up and tire shorter fighters out.Comment
