If Wilder loses...

[VG_Addict]

What then?

[walrus]

I don't think anyone will be shocked

[p4pking]

Yea, it's a pick em fight to me. Depends how he'd lose I guess, but I don't expect it will be a close decision either way, someone is either getting knocked out or the fight will stink. That's my prediction.

[boyla]

He will fake an injury.

[Primo Carnera]

Whether anybody rates him or not, it will be bad for boxing. Boxing needs him to be the "real deal" because he is an athlete and people love KO's. No guarantees though, but we are going to learn exactly what he is all about.

Boxing is not about celebrity or KO's it is bout great fights, if Wilder was not American you would of never heard of him.

Laughter. Lots of it. I'm not so much concerned with him winning, its how he does it. Blowing him out without being hit or showing more...i'd still have the same questions I do today.

In theory you are right. But when we look at the circus act Tyson became, it drew numbers.
Mayweathers ignorant statements one after another...it too draws ratings.
And Dlh was loved by the women.
I think your statement defines what us hardcore fans believe, but when a PPV does a million plus? Those numbers imo reflect the people who love theatrics-big mouths...and if wilder was not American, i agree.

The Haitian Nightmare on the way.

That's BS, sir. Any HW with a record like Wilder's is not going to go unnoticed, regardless of how soft we think that record might be.
The dude has one punch KO power and people are interested. That's boxing!

[beenKOed]

What then?

I'd be disappointed.

[jon09]

Then he fights another contender and loses again and will be a journeyman plagued by injuries looking for paydays.

[holmcall]

He becomes another Michael Grant

He becomes another Michael Grant

I think Grant gets a bad rap in hindsight, at least as far as early competition v Wilders and before he was ko'd by a jab. Grant showed big balls and solid sharp ability before that. It was dopes like Kellerman making him the poster boy for "needing a new super heavyweight division" who got swallowed up in hype.

[EL DINAMITA]

Depends on how he loses but if he gets dogged out quick, he'd be the next Tyrone Brunson..
