    Wilder has no where to go. If he doesn't take the Fury fight he won't get a chance at redemption or a high profile fight.

    Losing again to Fury will put him in the position of not taking the fight. Still a big puncher that has to rebuild to get another crack at the title.

      Nope, but your opinion is more relevant if you have.

      How much driving advice do you take from a kid with no driver's license? I'm sure he can come up with something intelligent and rational, but the lack of experience is a pretty big deal.

        Wilder is taking the rematch. He already activated the rematch clause I thought??

        He's probably just self-isolating

          That's never true. Boxers say some of the dumbest stuff ever. They pick their 'friends' to win fights rather than the logical answer. That's why most of the best commentators aren't boxers. I mean you really want Mike Tyson analyzing a fight?

            Wilder should have retired after the 2nd fight but if he can make a decent pay day of the 3rd fight, why not? Wilder's stock is trash now. At this stage in his career he will have to wait years before he can make a dent at HW again and he does not have the luxury of time on his side. His style will never change, nobody will want to risk getting knocked out by him for pennies since he is no longer worth much.

              i agree with that! My point is, having all the belts is useless! It doesn't prove anything! Then it becomes a headache! Beating the best is what counts, and Fury is the best, so go get him, by any means necessary!

                Eddie is not a kid though, he has been promoting boxing for a while and even boxed himself at one point. But to answer your question I would first need to see how much this kid knows before I take his advice if what he says is sound and makes logical sense then why not listen to him? Plenty of coaches and managers in other sports never played the sport professionally or have college experience yet they still know what they are talking about and can teach us all a lesson or two.

                Some people are good at analyzing and coming up with game plans to defeat their opponent.

                  Wilder working hard everyday, contemplating, scheming ways to avoid Fury in Dec.... we all know, take away the right hand, what do you have? A big bag of Alabama cooked smoked grits...

                    Heard Top Rank offered Brook $1.5M. Thoughts?

                      This guy spends more time talking about PBC fighters than his own. No wonder DAZN is falling apart. He is a fraud, and the only thing keeping him and De La Hoya in business is the fact that they have 2 of the biggest draws in boxing. The moment they realize they don't need them it will all be over.
