    I think Golden Boy made a big mistak throwing Wilder to the wolves against a hungry monster like Firtha. Firtha has the quality rounds under his bet to take Wilder into deep waters. NOT!!

    Not gonna happen but actually, Firtha isn't quite as terrible as one would imagine. I was ringside when he fought Pulev.

    Really? He never fought Pulev. :oops:

    Let's be honest here, Firtha isn't very good and Wilder will stop him in an early round.

    Meant to say Povetkin. Pulev fought on the same card which is why I mixed them up.

    Shows what a stiff Povetkin is that he went the distance with a cab driver like Firtha

    Povetkin lacks motivation. It's as simple as that and it shows in quite a few of his fighs.

    Firtha shook Fury to his boots and went 10 rounds with Banks, not a bad test and has a "fun while it lasts" look to it, but it won't last long.

    There's an easy way to tell if someone's a good fighter; if they lost to Tye Fields, they're not.

    Highly unlikely. Firtha is ****, but he has a punchers chance considering Wilder's weak chin and questionable skills :yep

    Hype train? One would need to get hyped to get a ticket on the hype train. Nobody knows who the hell Wilder is here. As it should be, until he steps up and fights some legit competition.

    Firtha is a handpicked tomato can. 5 years, and nearly 30 fights into his career and Wilder is still facing stiffs like this. pathetic....

    It says a lot when you measure a top contenders opponent based on who he loses to

    how about we see Wilder in a real fight? saying that, Firtha could still crack that glass

    Klitschko is a much better personality than wilder, Wilder is a bit of a loud dunce, Klitschko has some charisma, even if his fights may not be the same
