    He is what he is and he has 2-3 years left max, his body is riddled with injuries and he has awful technical ability and relies on athleticism

    He's finished.
    BullShyt.... Wilder vs Joshua is still 50/50. Joshua ain't as skilled as Fury, and has a weaker chin..


    And u didn't really respond to my points.

    As a promoter they can easily don't take the rematch and let him score devasting KOs to keep his name alive then take a big fight outside of (Fury or Usyk)

    That's what any promoter would do...

    Only a fighter would chose to risk so much taking a 3rd fight.

    Promoters want money.... Why TF waste Wilder when he only lost one fight? And there are plenty winnable fights he can take instead right now and keep that investment alive?

    Especially Haymon ... Who is known to actually care about his fighters.

    You 100% projecting your own feelings into this BS theory which makes no sense for a smart promoter

      Wilder gets ko'd by Alan Babic at this stage.

      He's David Price now

        They were initially gonna use a fake injury and surgery to not take the rematch when it had to happen by august. Now that the expiration date on the clause got pushed back to end of December, they’re now gonna say that covid prevented them to be able to get a suitable date, when in fact nobody has heard a peep out of Wilder.

        They’re simply gonna let the clause expire, then probably try to blame Fury somehow when he moves on.

        If Wilder wants the rematch badly enough, he should be out there now saying he wants it. But he’s silent.
        His fanboys are already getting into that!

          Just like they had a break after the second fight instead of going into a direct rematch, perhaps they can have another "break" if this is proving difficult for whatever reason(s). Be it Wilder being not fit with his biceps, or him or his team not wanting an immediate rematch, or they don't want to compromise the opportunity without crowd.

          If Fury fights AJ and wins (twice), that would give Wilder a year or so to recover fully, fight a couple of OK fighters (just like Fury did) and showcase his KO ability again, and make a rematch in 2022.

          If AJ wins, Wilder should still be an attractive challenge either directly or by challenging Fury first. In both cases, Wilder can get to either of Fury or AJ (at least one of them). The only condition is he wins at least of couple of fights in style and show some improvements that will get the excitement going.

          After that, a 36 or 37 yr old Wilder should be thinking of retiring.

            I must of watched a different fight where Wilder was brutally KO'd. If I recall, the ref stopped it.

            You can continue to suck off Fury but Wilder isn't scared of him at all. He gave the man a frikin rematch. He'll fight him in a heart beat when things get sorted out again. I still will never count him out. There is no way you can with that kind of power. Even a 40yr old Wilder is dangerous. Look at Povetkin-Whyte. Power is the last thing to leave you and if the other guy is not focusing just 1 second, it can be lights out against Wilder.

              I agree with all of this.

              Wilder has plenty to gain still remaining in the mix. Fury is the kingpin but below him, it's a crap shoot with most matchups between top 20 guys.

                His eyes say differently.

                  Wilder could still most effectively KTFO quite a number of decent-to-good fighters with the mileage he has left, and I'd say he'd have a pretty decent shot vs. Joshua (he could even potentially Brezeale him; that would really depend on how AJ would approach the fight). Trouble is, any press conference whatsoever everyone would be throwing Fury into his face and I don't think he'd like that.
