I would agree if Scott wasn’t his damn coach.
I can't agree, I admire Wilders willingness to continually apply himself and take on the challenge, re invent etc, but Parker showed that it's very easy to take away his only strength (a wind up), all you gotta do is take his space away.

Wilder is a one trick pony, it's a hell of a trick though.

Yeah the code has been cracked at Wilders current state

Wilder needs strict training and discipline in order to improve, but its too late for that so he may as well retire.
Right.

Additionally the power is too imbalanced, he needs to be in awe/suboordinate of the trainer/coach, he has too much control/clout in the relationship.

He needs someone that isn't there to pander, build his ego and be his friend and get the cheque, he needs a Jim Brown, Emmanuel Steward type that gives two fukks about him, but it's too late.

Prime Roy is a monster. I can’t favor anybody over him at 168/175 but there’s guys that COULD beat him.

Maybe only Ezzard Charles and Andre Ward have a chance. But that speed and power combo was just too much for those two weight classes.
I don't think he has any chance, especially at 68. SOG has the IQ but I don't think he has the foot speed or power to bother RJJ. Thinking about his fights with Sosa, JT, Reggie Johnson, & Virgil Hill, RJJ was god-like in his prime.

I think Ezzard Charles definitely gives his problems
