Molina(June) Briggs(September) Povetkin(December) If Povetkin's team offers 10 mil. he might as well take it. Not like Wlad will offer him anything more (probably less). Plus he has a better chance of winning. He would still be the underdog however as wins against Molina, and Briggs will do absolutely nothing for his cred. Watch Briggs slip into the WBC top 10-15 in the next couple of months.
Indeed. I've been following boxing for 35 years, and I don't think I have ever seen a fighter face more limited opposition for as long as Wilder. All fighters face softies in the first year or so of their career, but Wilder did it for nearly six years. There's a reason for this. He can't take a punch and his handlers know it.:yep
I see the unbelievers are out in full force today. Deontay is afraid of no man. Deontay has as a 96% KO ratio. Deontay will unify the heavy weight division in a couple of years time. Then we can have a true champion the people can be proud of.
Joke of a first defence from a joke of a title holder, so this isn't unexpected. Molina showed he isn't close to world class when he was iced by Arreola in a round. Molina is ranked 44th on Boxrec, he's not even in the top 10 of US heavyweights. How does Wilder actually have any fans, he takes one step forward by beating Stiverne then takes two steps back with his first defence. Wouldn't shock me at all if he actually gave Briggs a shot. If this is what we can expect from the next generation of heavyweights they might as well s**** the division.
