I think we're being overly hard on Wilder. Sure, some of us predicted a Wilder KO win..... but it's not like the guy's done or unfixable. He had never faced a bigger man with a longer reach. He had never faced someone with such an unorthodox style as Fury. Yes, he became wild at times... but he put Fury on the canvas TWICE. The second time with a beautiful one-two combination. He needs to continue facing stiffer opposition and continue to work on his shortcomings. He's a great athlete, so that's not a stretch. A good trainer will continue to pound on the wide right hands, because Wilder is capable of throwing a straight one.
TBH, right now I rate both Wilder and Fury more than Joshua, just because of their willingness to face each other, and they did put on a good show. I for one would love to see it again.
