I kinda agree with Ward, but do feel that Wilder has to face Fury immediately for psychological reasons. Particularly given that he felt that his team should not have thrown in the towel.

Andre might be right but Aj won't ever step in the ring with D.Wilder & there isn't much heavyweights out there period so he might as well take the rematch & get that money. He needs to work on a couple of things like NOT pulling straight back from punches of a man who has reach & height over him so he should learn how to duck, stop throwing weak jabs & use the left hook (Fury is open for that shot) along with some upper cuts.

Ward is right about the wilder corner, it’s clear they are a bunch of sycophants who tell wilder how hard he punches and how great he is. He needs someone who can take him back to basics and how to employ the left hook at mid range and as part of combinations, the uppercut in the clinch, how to move his head and feet with lateral movement rather tha. Just moving backwards and leaning back from punches, he had GOT to move forward instead of backwards, and he needs to get back to roadwork EVERY MORNING. He really needs a totally new corner and that includes his strength and conditioning coach who clearly isn’t helping his stamina. He needs a total makeover and he himself needs to stop being so damn stubborn about giving away rounds. We all saw this coming, whether or not we thought it was going to be fury is another matter

I don't knock Wilder for not having the style to beat Fury. Wlad worked hard on his craft he didn't have the tools/style to beat him either.
Truth is, Fury is the Kryptonite for these super heavyweight, mainly because he is just so much darn bigger than they are. You cant fight him at range because he has more range than you (and decent enough movement). And when you try to get close he just locks you up.
The type of dude who will beat Fury (outside of him beating himself) is a talented heavyweight who can work his way in and fight on the inside. And even that would require a ref to break up Fury from the headlocks and grappling.
Wilder's 2nd greatest attribute has always been his length, but with that negated he has a hard time getting to use his power. I was actually impressed by him in the first round jabbing away to the body, and thought he might try to work his way in, but thats just not him. Although to be fair, thats just not a lot of guys.
