This is what I've been told about Wilder so if you can help me out.

So your excuse for Wilder fighting five cans during that time is that Povetkin failed a test? I can understand one or two...but he CHOSE to fight sub-standard low quality opposition for 2 years.

AJ is tied up contractually and all of a sudden Wilder starts calling him out, very convenient. Why didn't he seek to fight the best available during his FIVE voluntaries?

 

lol Ban him

 

Listen, this is going to be easy to understand.

AJ is tied up with Wlad and then Pulev. The fight with Wilder can happen in the middle of 2018 providing Wilder actually wants it like you say.

In the meantime, how about Wilder bucks the trend of fighting absolutely horrible competition and fights a couple of meaningful guys?

I know you don't think Whyte is good enough, but he's a tough competitor and is enough of a name in the UK that would give Wilder a record payday plus more recognition for the eventual Joshua fight. It sets up the storyline very nicely.

I don't think anything I've said above is unreasonable or unfair.

 

Bumontay Wilder is a joke and despite being a pro for almost 10 years has a worse resume than a guy with 19 fights. Why don't you tell me why Wilder went after Molina, Arreola, Duhapaus, Washington, and Spzilka? Why did Wilder have to fight those guys. Clearly there were better options available. Why is Bumontay so protected and coddled? Tell me.

 

Three of those were short-notice because of Povetkin asking for more time or for failing drug tests.

He fought WBC-ranked contenders. Champs have to fight guys ranked by the organizations that recognize them. Are you new to boxing?

 

Bermain Stiverne was top 10.

Malik Scott was top 10.

Artur Szpilka was 6 or 7 in the WBC rankings.

Duhaupas was top 15 when Wilder fought him and moved UP into the top 10 after a couple of nice wins AFTER Wilder fought him. He was top 10 in ability, but because he's from France and didn't have any promotional push no one credited it until after his profile was raised after the Wilder fight.

In fact, Molina, Duhaupas and Scott are all ranked in the top 15 by Boxrec currently, all higher than Whyte.

 

LOL abc orgs are not top 10 fighters. Do you even watch boxing? Wilder has one fight again a top 10 opponent.

 

OK, I've asked this time and again and people like you run like cockroaches when the lights come on rather than answer:

1) Which rankings do you go by? How do you decide who is in the top 10?

2) Give us YOUR top 10 meeting this criteria: Not a current champion, hasn't failed a drug test making them ineligible to be ranked, has fought within the last 12 months.

VERY simple. I'm saying right now you cannot do it.

 

The common sense rankings. Try em.

 

Go over to ESPN or Ring and look at their rankings which are much more reliable than some random abc org who ranks fighters by how much money they get in under the table bribes. You still haven't answered why Wilder had to fight those specific handpicked opponents rather than more credible options. What tied Wilder to having to face them?

 

Bumontay has a worse resume than every other title holder. He has had 5 chances to prove me wrong and has been too scared to do it. 41 year old Wlad who was inactive for 18 months is better than anyone Wilder has fought.
