Will Wilder end up like Tavoris Cloud?

[Flo_Raiden]

If anyone remembers Tavoris Cloud he was another puncher who lacked boxing ability and was exposed as a one dimensional slugger when he faced Campillo. After the controversial win everything went downhill for him and was beaten back to back. Old Hopkins easily outboxed him to a decision win, Stevenson toyed with him and eventually got stopped, and Artur Beterbiev just bull dozed him to a second round KO.

Do you think the same could happen for Wilder, where everything is just gonna crash and burn for him from this point on after losing badly to Fury? I'm hoping that's not the case for Wilder. Will have to see how he looks in his next fight, hopefully an easier opponent that gives him a confidence booster.

He will get matched up with some bums and look like a 'Killer' again. Match him up with lighter punchers and he will look great

If he fights top fighters or rematches fury yes he’ll get smashed up again over and over

[The Big Dunn]

Cloud had some quality wins on his resume-Glen Johnson, Julio Gonzalez and Clinton Woods- so it isn't fair to compare his resume to Wilder's. The Campilo fight also had some controversy. Yes, Campilo should've gotten the win but wasn't there like a 2nd round KD that the ref messed the count up?

That stated, yes, Wilder very well could end his career with 3 straight losses (really 4) like Cloud did.

Come on man, Tavoris Cloud wasn't a 1-dimensional slugger. Technically he was a good fighter who fell short when he stepped up to world class level. No shame in that if you ask me. We need to stop these keyboard warrior condescending threads.

Campillo made him look like one when they fought, and Campillo wasn't exactly world class level either. Campillo was there to be KO'd but instead he boxed his ears off so bad that Cloud's mother fainted when the decision was given to Cloud.

Cloud was a limited fighter with a punch, much like Wilder, so I think the comparison is valid.

WOW that is actually a interesting comparison. I remember Cloud was getting A LOT of hype at one point and many thought he could beat Chad Dawson who was the Top Guy in their Division at the time

[JakeTheBoxer]

If he fights Joshua and some big punchers, for example Ajagba, Dubois, than yeah, he will end like punching bag.

Otherwise, I believe he still beats guys like Povetkin, Pulev, Whyte maybe, Ruiz is 50-50.

They just had to carefully match him up again, their cherrypick went wrong with Fury one, due to the KD in the first fight, they were given a false sense of security.

Cloud had better wins and he wasn’t as limited or protected as Wilder was. But yeah once his power became less of a factor he really started to struggle like Wilder did on Saturday. I actually liked Cloud but the Hopkins and Stevenson fights exposed him quite badly..... I think the Beterbiev fight was for a cheque cause he pretty much packed it in after the first punch landed.

If Wilder goes ahead with the Fury rematch and fights other top guys while lacking confidence then odds are he’ll end his career with a string of losses, most likely by stoppage.
