Should Wilder retire if he loses again to Fury?

[boliodogs]

I voted yes but it is up to him. he is 33 years old and has about 40 million dollars. That is enough money to live like a king for a lifetime. If he wants more money he certainly could keep fighting and make millions more so it is his choice. If he fights guys good enough to make him a lot of money then he puts his health at risk every fight. Why risk brain damage when you are past prime and very wealthy already? He probably will fight for a few more years if he loses just like most past heavyweight champs have done.

Even if he loses to Fury again there are still plenty of big fights for him

Wilders sees only half his money if he’s lucky ,you don’t know how his pocket is and don’t know what lifestyle he leads . He’s certainly not the smartest guy and then having so many hands in his pockets that guide him under advisors and managers . He’s not a PPV guy either ,one lucrative payday doesn’t mean he’s got 40 million when he also isn’t endorsed by anyone or brand name . Wilder could probably be a. Good movie actor ,his acting skills are above average for sure so maybe he can make much more doing that .

You don`t have to retire if you lose to the best.

But, another question is, how much will be left in him after another loss. We will find out in next fight after Fury, I guess.

I would love to see Wilder in the new role, as non title holder, fighting Ruiz, Whyte, Helenius, for example. So, no.

He doesn't have to but there will certainly be a sense that he won't be the top of the food chain if he can't beat him in a trilogy.

One more thing to add here no one is talking about is Wilders ego . I don’t believe for a second he will be able to completely bounce back in another loss with no title ,he is not mentally strong without a gimmick . The sense of himself seeing he’s not a top spot at advancing or promoting himself as that guy to beat will be his ruin so your post is dead on .

The thing is he will be avoided in another loss because he then becomes that guy of more risk vs less reward,whoever defeats him after simply isn’t going to get credit handing him what should really be 4 losses in a row should he lose another fight directly after Fury .

Ruiz
Helenius
Whyte
Kownacki
Martin

All great fights for Wilder. He can make some more millions fighting those guys. Why not?

[W1LL]

No. Losing to the Gypsy King is nothing to be ashamed of. There are still several fights I'd like to see him in; Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, Andy Ruiz Jr., Oleksandr Usyk, Joseph Parker, Filip Hrgovic, Daniel Dubois... when he loses a third time to Tyson Fury, he should cut ties with PBC and make the biggest fights out there possible.

If he wants to be an AT G heavyweight he has to fight

[Willy Wanker]

No way, he's still an exciting fighter with ridiculous power. And he's not that old yet.

Wilder can still sell good fights with other heavyweights and make a lot of more money.
