Oh so its Povetkin's fault now that Wilder had to choose the most abysmal opponent he could find? Who is not even ranked with any organization? Who failed a drug test less than 3 years ago? Who was knocked senseless by Stiverne not once but TWICE, who Wilder already beat? Parker, Pulev, Ortiz, Jennings are all in the top 25 of Boxrec. All available, waiting for titleshots. All of them would SALIVATE to beat Wilder. But Wilder digs deep and picks #44 of Boxrec, Chris Arreola. And you tell us it's all Povetkin's fault he couldn't pick any of the #43 guys ranked better than that :rofl:rofl:rofl
It's incredible. Thing is, Wilder can beat the likes of Jennings, Washington, Andy Ruiz and get credit for it but instead he picks Chris freaking Arreola. How on earth WBC can insert Arreola in the top 15, a guy who hasn't beaten anyone officially for 15 months? Moreover, Wilder slammed Povetkin for failing a drug test, and now he's fighting another guy who failed a test 3 months ago? He deserves to be smashed to bits for this.
Arreola just doesn't look like he has anything to offer so makes him a perfect Deonkey cherry pick. Bum Squad
Yes, but you surely must be a bit disappointed with this match up. If Wilder had taken on a good opponent I was ready to become a fan.
It's hard for me to criticize Wilder when he was set and ready to go to Russia and fight a consensus top 5 HW less than a month ago. However, I do wish that he would have chosen someone coming off a win, rather than someone who made Kassi look like a legit contender.
Povetkin's opposition and performances are more like a real champion than Deonkey.I bet he would fight Ortiz for example, not hide behind more bums.
Actually, when Washington was first proposed, 90% of this forum called him a Grade A bum. Now that Arreola is chosen, Washington is suddenly this top tier fighter. :yep I admit, Arreola is BAD, but to say Washington is good is laughable. There was a POLL and everyone called him a JOURNEYMAN when Wilder considered him first. atsch
