    Wilder's a shit-talker alright. He gives Fury and Haye a run for their money. He needs to shut up and concentrate on trying to get that fight with AJ and worry about the future after he's done with that. Despite the bluster on both sides, they (Wilder and AJ) both know the other has at least a puncher's chance. I agree with those who say Wilder would be too weight-drained at cruiser. It's not like he's got the extra fat to lose. Worst case he'd lose a bit of muscle mass in his legs and he'd look like Bambi out there. God knows he doesn't have the swiftest footwork even now.... so to lose leg strength doesn't sound like a good career move.

    I agree with the 'punchers chance' comment, but from videos I've seen of Wilder I believe he is terminally fucking useless, hence all the hesitation from Euro promoters, they know the first one in with him is going to spark him, but how do they make a duopoly or trilogy out of it? Its all about the money.

    Remember when Chris Byrd melted down to Lt heavyweight and had the sturdiness of a Walmart bag blowing around the parking lot? Of course he was off a long and successful heavyweight career though.

    Byrd overachieved at heavyweight and I am sure he would prefer to have been champion at the weight than at Cruiserweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I used to watch Byrd fights as a cure for insomnia.

    Michael Moorer was mines. I know he was exciting at light heavyweight and had that exciting fight with Cooper but the lack of effort he put in most of his fights put me to sleep.
