    Apart from Fury obviously.

    Wilder has been wbc champ for ages now and only fought 2 random bums and old ass cris areolla

    Then he ducked povetkin and injured his hand and is now hiding while the real fights get signed.

    His best win was his brutal ko of his ex girlfriend

    Whatever a waste man

    Whilst I agree with you he hasn't thought the best opposition, at least he was active before the injury and I can't say he ducked povetkin as he wasnt the one who took any prohibited drugs. Did he really want the Povetkin fight? I don't think so but had Povetkin not taken the meldonium I think Wilder would have taken him on for sure.

    He's bad, but he's not that bad. There have been worse champions like Martin, Bentt etc.

    His title run as been **** poor though, can anyone think of another heavyweight title holder that held the title for almost 2 years that had fought such poor opposition?

    Much worse titleholders in history. But it's kinda bad indeed...
    Worst thing is, because he's American some actually defend him for his actions, while they call others cherrypickers that have fought much better opposition as he has.

    You have to be fair to Wilder. He doesn't have the greatest skillset, but he improved a bit and he tries to remain active. Yes his choice of opposition is a joke, but he tries to make the best out of his unpopularity and lack of skill. I can't blame him too much for handpicking opponents and trying to remain keep it low-risk. I wonder what would I do if I was in his shoes: shaky chin, no ATG skills, but I own the WBC strap. I would try to milk it by picking Dahaupases and Molinas as long as possible.

    As a boxing fan it sucks, but from his point of view I understand.

    Let's see:

    Tyson Fury fails two drug tests, pulls out of his contracted rematch twice with unsubstantiated injuries, uses cocaine as medicine for mental illness and is best known for wearing a Batman costume to a press conference.

    I'll say no, Wilder is not.

    He's been champ for less than 2 years. He was supposed to fighta russian, but the russian didn't have his sheit together and tested positive.. Russians have a long history of PEDs.

    Lol if Wilder wasn't a big threat there wouldn't be daily hate threads like this one about him. I love it, keep it coming. Keep Wilder in your thoughts. 2017 is going to be a big year.
