After beating Derek Chisora by split decision, Wilder was suddenly back in the heavyweight conversation again, even if nobody is pretending he looked like the old destroyer for every second of the fight. The article is interesting because it lays out the possible next steps, from Joshua to Fury to Usyk, and shows how quickly one result can reopen old doors in this division

Exactly what I was thinking. We will see how it plays out.

Momentum is real and it is the thing that is hardest to quantify. 8)

The stats do not back that up. You cannot judge a season on three games in either direction.

The Chisora win gives Wilder a useful reset, but I would not jump straight to Joshua or Usyk. The sensible move is one more fight against a dangerous contender, then take the biggest payday available. If he still has the timing and power, the Joshua fight is the obvious commercial target. One clean right hand and suddenly all the old conversations start again.
