    I wouldn't mind Briggs just because of the ****ery, but I'm guessing he fights another obscure opponent again

    It is starting to get late for Wilder to fight a top ten guy. I really hope he doesn't pick another Molina type. He will lose a ton of respect.

    he's still trying to convince Briggs to get in the ring, or another Molina level bum

    Not all fights are made with the quickness.. but this is obviously a thread to discredit Wilder like always.

    Wilder brought this upon himself

    First he accuses Povetkin of taking roids, then he says he doesn't want to wait for him and would like to get a fight made asap and didn't want to wait on Povetkin, even though there was plenty of time to negotiate and sure enough he hasn't even got an opponent lined up, and he's way closer to his deadline now then he was when povetkin was made mando

    Just wondering. could it be that they are in lengthy and difficult negotiations with Campbells soup company? Maybe a soup of the month deal is going to be announced.

    Best man for Wilder = least dangerous, feather-fisted glass-chinned has-been who barely gets accepted by TV + WBC :deal

    He'll probably end up fighting Spzilka and give people another reason to curse him. Shame cuz he'd probably beat anyone in WBC rankings other than Povetkin and maybe Joshua. His team should at least go with Takam or TT.

    I've already gave up names such as Thompson and so on. Wait for his mandatory, but for now I just want Briggs in the ring!

    If he wants his September fight to be a "stay active" fight, then:

    Mansour is out there.
    Browne is out there.
    Tony Thompson (no, I don't think he used any anabolics or PEDs) is out there.

    He's planning to fight on 9/26 so an announcement on who he's fighting has to be coming up soon. Hell, I wouldn't have a problem seeing him fight Teper next month, since the Povetkin mando is due straight after that.

    I wish Wilder would announce his next opponent, I could use a good laugh.

    Because he's still doing the same old trick he repeatedly did in the past, to pick an opponent giving him the smallest time to prepare possible, even if he's just a bum.
