    What were the odds when he fought Povetkin? That's the only guy he's lost to. He's rated higher by boxrec than Oscar Rivas, Shannon Briggs/Fres Oquendo (who are fighting for the WBA belt), Breazeale/Ugonoh, and Kauffman/Mansour (who are all fighting each other on the undercard).

    Those are crazy odds.

    Would Wilder be a 100-1 favorite to beat Briggs?

    The odds are designed to put people off better on Wilder and putting money on Wazisname.

    They're having a bet of their own trying to tempt in mug punters with a big price.

    Wilders fangirls will say this is a testament to how good he is as opposed to Wawrzyk being utter ****. Those odds are juicy though... Anything can happen in boxing.

    Those odds are juicy. Plus, he's suffered two broken hands and a torn bicep in his last five fights.

    True,
    He should have instead sent Povetkin a free supply of PEDs, flown to Moscow right after his hand operation and fought Povetkin the next day as soon as they unbandaged his healing hands.

    The odds for warwyzk to win probably won't be outlandish, which sucks. Boxing odds are usually terrible

    Yet you whine about other fights that are far more legitimate. Povetkin has nothing to do with this, Wilder and his team are the ones who chose a **** poor opponent here. Odds say it all... This fight is a joke.

    His only loss is a KO against Povetkin for the WBA belt.

    People around here continue to suck the d*cks of other fighters who've been stopped by Povetkin. But if Wilder signs to fight one of them, God forbid.

    No on-the-level heavyweight fight should ever be a 100-1 odds.

    He moves well, shows a strong jab, and he's a big guy, too. I don't think Wilder will lose, but he shouldn't be a 100-1 favorite.

    I question the sanity and credibility of anyone who rates Wawrzyk. People rate the Takam, Perez and to a lesser extent Charr stoppages. Wawrzyk has been considered a joke/meme in boxing circles since the Bakhtov fight.

    Don't watch. No one is forcing you.
    Spend your free time re-watching Golovkin fighting the world's best.

    A fight that Wawrzyk won handily, by the way. Which the meme guys tend to forget.

    That's a great question. Briggs has 1 punch KO Power and there's a reason why Wilder's handlers have done everything they could to ignore Briggs' calling out Wilder publicly. Interestingly, Briggs IMO would be a 1:10 or so underdog, but no where close to 1:100 like Wawrzyk.

    These odds just substantiate the business acumen of Wilder's handlers. They know exactly who and who not to pick.

    He's solid at domestic-level European level. But when you're getting dropped and wobbled and barely manage to beat Bakhtov... You aren't world class. Not a top 50 heavyweight for me.

    Could he beat a legit eurolevel champ? My answer would be no judging on his previous excursions at a level below that.
