Helenius might be a bit risky for Wilder as a comeback fight. Helenius looked in good shape against Kownacki -- he has his confidence and fitness back. Maybe not mobile enough to avoid being starched by Wilder, but he's a tough old dog....

Fury should, and probably will, have a couple more fights. That would probably be enough. Would take him to mid 30s and a not-unreasonable unretirement age for a boxer. He's said as much before. Whyte and then whoever wins out of Usyk or Joshua. That would be enough to say he has conquered all the division...

Two fights in a row, Wilder has been bleeding from the ears, had equilibrum problems within a few rounds, looked dead on his legs within a few rounds and not been able to get the KO even when he lands flush. I'm not reading too much into that because of who he was fighting, but it should at least raise...

Don't bring context to the party, it doesn't fit in with the narratives being spun here....

The whole point of being beholden to no-one is thay he is (wait for it) beholden to no-one. This means he can get fights with everyone without the barriers of who is aligned with whom. Which is good for boxing, the fans and for Canelo. If the fighters he wants to beat are with PBC, then he'll work with...

I think Warren is wrong in his thinking that Joshua cannot win the rematch.

After all, he says "The only way AJ can beat him is to do what Wilder did - to impose himself". Is the possibility of Joshua imposing himself so remote?

Does anyone think Joshua fought the...

Regardless of who prompted him to wrote this or why, he did write it and I think he will be the better for it.

When Wilder refused to congratulate the winner, it made him look a bit small and petty. Now he doesn't. Good on him....

[Monty Fisto]

Perhaps. The book's not closed yet on that story, though. If he goes meekly against Usyk in a rematch then I would very much agree.

If he can avenge the loss, then publicly showing grace in defeat will have a very different complexion to it.

Throwing your toys out of the pram...

Canelo is right in that GGG has been having unimpressive fights of late. But let's see who Canelo is fighting when he is pushing 40.

If GGG whipped Yldrim, how much would that improve the picture? Not much I'd wager.

Something like the 11th paragraph, the article reads: "Usyk has flirted with heavyweight before, stopping former title challenger Manuel Charr in five rounds in 2015."

It should read: Briedis has flirted with heavyweight before, stopping etc.

Atlas' claim about concussion is a reasonable point and I think regardless after a violent encounter when a fighter is exhausted, it's probably not top of his list of priorities to shake hands with the guy that just knocked him out.

At the same time, it does fit into the context of Wilder...

Everyone slammed Whyte when he quipped about wanting an easy fight next. Now a lot of people here are saying he should take an easier fight.

Good on him for taking a challenging opponent.

In the LW division, there is Teo and there is Loma and then there is everyone else. We know Loma wants Teo. We know Teo doesn't want Loma. Fighting Commey isn't great, but it's more credible than perpetually almost fighting Kambosos.

If Tank was actually in the division, he would become...

You don't seem to understand how discussion boards work. You are not my editor. My opinion is not subject to your revisions, especially when your revisions censor out plain fact like Wilder losing because he was the inferior boxer.

It's a simple equation: credit where credit is due, criticism...

[Monty Fisto]

Andy Ruiz would be a really good next opponent for Wilder. A winnable fight but also a credible opponent. I suspect they'll go for someone easier than that despite what Finkel is saying, but I'd definitely watch if it was against Ruiz.

The only way I see Joshua fighting Wilder is if he...

"We would love to get Fury back again"


Ha, ha, just what we need Fury vs Wilder IV.

Bring it on....

[Monty Fisto]

Please refrain from using contorted logic to project some nonsense on to me.

Wilder suffers back-to-back losses and you conclude this mean he beats anyone in the division apart from Tyson Fury. And if I don't join you in this delusion and celebrate this guy who, let's not forget, just lost,...

[Monty Fisto]

Wilder's fractured hand speaks of his greatness.

What exactly is his greatness? Which fighter did he beat to achieve this greatness? He has been exposed over three fights against Tyson Fury, by far the best fighter he has fought and, arguably, the only fighter he has fought that qualifies...

[Monty Fisto]

I've literally never written a word about Frank Sanchez. How is he my guy?...

[Monty Fisto]

If, if, if.

No one is overlooking what they just saw: Wilder getting beaten up for his second consecutive fight....
