As I've said before, I think GBP has to be willing to throw some money into this, to actually LOSE money on a few fights in order to get Wilder the opposition he needs. Right now, the only way to get a decent fighters to face him is to give those fighters a huge payday, guaranteed. (think of it as a retirement bonus.) Evidently, they aren't willing to do this. |

He needs to be willing to lose his worthless 100% KO ratio in order to improve. Putting him in with no hopers at this stage is becoming detrimental. |

Guinn's already stepped in against Boytsov, Pulev and Mansour. I doubt he'd be afraid to mix it up with Wilder. Tank's been in with Helenius and Holyfield. I don't see why Wilder couldn't get these guys if he wanted to. |

There is a REASON Wilder is not fighting live bodies, and it has NOTHING to do with decent fighters not wanting to fight him.
It does, however have EVERYTHING to do with Wilder's appalling LACK OF PUNCH RESISTANCE!!!!! http://www.dominicserna.com/Boxing/P...SRNA6807-M.jpg |

Wilder fights the worst bums of the HW division. There are plenty decent journeyman around for Wilder. There is no excuse for fighting the opponents Wilders fights. Nobody excepts him to fight top 20 or even top 40 guys. A few decent journey men who can test him would be great but he fights the worst of the worst. Guinn would be good, Bakhtov would be good those kind of guys. Which are able to really test him and not those bums. |

Not one of those guys is as offensively dangerous as Wilder. Holyfield comes close, but he was both high risk AND high reward. Boytsov is almost as dangerous as Wilder (not quite) but he was a ranked HW, and so again there was an upside to fighting him. Wilder is only high risk. Beating him right now would mean nothing for any ranked opponent. What part of this don't you understand? |

You have posted an average of ONCE EVERY TWO FUCKING HOURS for eight years and never said anything different other than this guy or that guy has a glass jaw. Amazing. And it's a pretty stupid game -- you call out everyone and say they can't take a punch and guess what ... sooner or later most everyone gets knocked down or knocked out. It's boxing, it happens. I guess that makes you a genius ... an unemployed genius or one who posts all day at work, wasting his employer's time, but a genius nonetheless. We all hope to one day accumulate more than 40,000 posts that say the exact same thing. You give us something to aspire to, and we thank you for it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
