Let us know if/when you ever find a clue!


Greer is probably the best opponent they could find, in the "second tier" category, who would actually agree to fight Wilder. Wilder is still a "high risk / low reward" opponent. He needs a few more spectacular wins, on network TV, before better fighters will "have" to face him.

Plus, of course, he still needs more experience. Greer, sad to say, is at least a step up. He might be a good test of Wilder's still mainly-untested defense, at least for a few rounds.

Yeah because of course opposition doesn't mean anything in boxing ? Is that your point dumbass ? Take a look at who Greer has fought and at who he has KOed, look at his KO percentage and at his losses, from which half were by way of KTFO. And you're here defending that opponent like the true gayass fanboy you are. He's the 300st heavyweight in the world and you're saying that's a step up ? Get the fuck out of here.

this is classic

"Greer, of St. Louis, Missouri is 15-8 (13ko) and coming off a win in his previous bout"

they dont tell you his "win" was a DQ win in round 1 after he was flattened and subsequently hit while he was down. other than that "win" he has had a win in 10 years.

thats the caliber of opponent Greer seems to be able to beat

[iceman71]

but dont forget to "tune in" to Televista or Fox Espanol

"No word on whether the Wilder bout will be part of the telecast"

yeah i mean why would you not be sure to show the only u.s. Olympian to medal who now has a pro record of 26-0 (26 kos)

you cant make this stuff up

[H .]

yeah, this guy needs to fight someone better, staying busy doesnt cut it

Wilder has 26 fights and never fought a halfway decent opponent. Wilder could fight some decent Journeymen but instead he fights bum after bum. There is no excuse for that.

Wilder is shit. I laugh every time when i see him fight. He looks like a beginner. Only thing he has is power. Thats good enough for the bums he is fighting.

How can you defend this? Greer is no better than the other 26 bums hes knocked out and you know it.

[Clarky Cat]

To think people slate Tyson Fury for fighting the likes of Rogan, Maddalone and Kevin Johnson. Shit as those guys are, they look like the second coming of Ali in comparison to the stiffs Wilder's been knocking over.

[lordgore]

Seriously hope Fury or Price get a chance to fight him,they'd batter him from pillar to post ... Price probably knocks him out in the first couple of rounds,Fury would punish him for about 4 or 5 then go for the KO.

Perez is coming off a looooooong layoff, as was Boystov.....

And Perez also has just 16 fights, not 26.

Tyler,

You really need to stop shoving all those gerbils up your butt. It's making you angry.

And delusional.

[Saintpat]

Fight was made on less than 10 days notice without a big budget -- a keep-busy fight filling out a card late in the process.

Wilder just KO'd a top-100 world opponent in Price, this is just a way for Wilder to stay active while waiting to see when Showtime wants him back on TV. Fight was shopped to a few trial horses and they all turned it down wanting more time and money. Better to take this fight and stay sharp than sit and wait for 3-6 months.

America is the Mecca of boxing and wilder is fighting Greer in his 27th fight!!

This has been done to death.

Wilder had fuck all of a amateur career having only something close to 44 matches.

And you mentioning that America is the mecca of boxing makes little sense as has little to do with one individual fighter's skill level at that place in their career.
