    You are not making any sense here but typically posting "LMAO" like you when unsure.

    Tell me what is wrong with asking Has Wilder ever defended against an opponent who had been announced and in a full training camp before facing him?
    I dont blame Wilder for not facing fighters who failed tests and understand that he may have a time slot that he is due to fight in but wondered if he has made a defence against anyone who has had 3 months of notice? I could be wrong but not sure that he has?

    Explain what is wrong with that? You cant

    Wilder is not a champion. Wilder is no different than any fighter where time slots have to be filled. Guys fill in for guys all of the time. To ask when has he fought a guy who has had a full camp is ****en dumb. It's always some sort of slight with you guys. Always and it's ridiculous to read. I keep resorting to responding to posts like this but maybe I'll just have to skip threads like this. If this isn't good enough don't expect me to expound on this subject anymore.

    So you dont think fighters contesting for a belt should be given full training camps against a fighter who has?
    You are right that fighters often do get opponents who fill in at short notice but how often does it usually happen in a row for a title holder?
    When has Wilder held a full camp with press conference to announce a fight and the opponent given that full time? This is defence #5. To my knowledge not all were stand in opponents

    I explained myself and that's that. Convo over... What's next, when was the last time Wilder had a press conference where they took pictures?

    This was your first post
    Your next post was to say you dont think its a valid question.
    Thats you not answering anything
    Tell me when was the last time Wilder had a press conference with pictures. I wouldnt know and that wasnt my question.

    If all of the defences were announced late or subs. Do you think its normal for a title holder to have all defences as late subs and late notice opponents without a full camp, facing a title holder who has been given a full camp?
    As said, I was asking the question and really dont know if any have or havent been given a big notice time before getting a title shot.

    Still dont understand why this question affects you like it appears to?

    3 months notice is pretty rare for anything but a mandatory or really high-profile fight, at least these days. Joshua-Molina was only announced 5 weeks before the fight took place. Joshua-Brazeale was announced two months before the fight.

    But, to answer the question...Wilder's fights have typically been announced 5 weeks before they take place. Wilder-Szpilka was announced Dec 9 for a Jan 17 date. Wilder-Duhaupas was announced August 17 for the Sept 26 date. Interestingly, Wilder-Warzyk was announced over two months before the fight was scheduled to take place. Think that's the longest notice a potential Wilder opponent has had, with the exception of Povetkin who obviously would have had several months notice.

    If this is correct many of those do seem like short notice as I assume Wilder must be in training because it is known he is fighting on a certain date even when the fans dont know who the opponents were to be.

    To be fair, you would have to assume that the opponents would have at least some additional notice before the announcement of the fight would take place and would have started training, too. It's not like contracts could be drafted, finalized and signed and then organize a time and place for an announcement within a matter of hours. So, it's fair to say that opponents probably have at least a week (probably more) to begin preparation in anticipation of getting the call.

    With what you wrote there I wouldnt know but guess there was no problem with getting contracts drafted finalized and signed for Arreola and Washington?
    Who knows how generic they could be. I recall hearing how Brook was offered the same deal as another opponent before facing Golovkin.
    If the opponents know I am not sure there would be TBAs written.
    Still I dont know

    They'd still have to be given at least some prior notice, though, right? And, even in the case of a generic contract, there would still be some time that would have to elapse between signing and announcing the fight.
