    See it as blinded as you like it in your pink world, but beating Wilder is an achievement for one thing: he lacks plenty of things, but is a master of landing that right hand which won him matches where he was solidly outboxed. So he's a risk for everybody, no matter how skilled. And would be good to see Usyk against him - whoever wins will be impressive in its own way.

    Bored to SLEEP. ;)

    Lefties are so susceptible to the fast, straight right hand.

    Any fight is better than waiting indefinitely, Joyce deserves a chance most of all, but he has a fight in April, as does Bakole, Dubois is injured and Hrgovic is financially unprofitable, only Wilder remains...

    That can-crushing have gloves won't travel generational hype job doesn't deserve a goddamn thing, let alone a title shot or a shot at the three-belt unified King Usyk. He's beaten 2 world champions in 46 fights, one of whom was shot to bits and 2-4 in their last 6, 3 of said losses via KO or stoppage, both wins against bums, and the other was a big fat useless giant penguin Stiverne who is one of the weakest HW champs in history.

    The Dosser didn't even deserve a rematch against Belly and his chicken ass wouldn't dare do once what Belly did three times with him

    ''I would fight him anywhere," said Wilder. "I'm a traveler, a global fighter, I fight anywhere all over the world that's how you become legendary. You become legendary by not being afraid to go into enemy territory when the time comes or when duty calls.''

    Imagine being 0-2 in your last 2 fights, both losses via brutal KO/stoppage in your backyard where everything was stacked in your favour, and with the exception of one round they were pretty much one-sided massacres, and still being ranked #1 by the Wilder Bodyguard Council?

    And then thinking you deserve to waltz straight into another title shot for all three belts against the unified King Usyk off the back of beating a glass-jawed senior citizen former sparring partner who was KTFO by two of the D levels you knocked out, needed a robbery gift decision to get by 10-14-3 journeyman half his size, and who has literally beaten one half decent fighter in over a decade. Helenius' resume over the last 11 years is even worse than The Dosser's is which shouldn't even be possible :facepalm:

    And Finkel knows damn well Usyk has three mandatory challengers all in line to face him that he has to face if the Belly fight can't be made :facepalm:

    Get to the back of the queue and work your way back up to the top the best way you know how you complete clown and embarrassment ie. by crushing cans.

    Have you just compared a 40-year-old, gassed out Ortiz to Usyk?

    Okay :D

    He isn't available, though. And they know that. If he isn't fighting Fury, he's fighting a mandatory. Not that Wilder would know anything about that.

    Gassed out? Is that what you're going with?:rolleyes:

    Wilder has knocked out everyone he's faced except Fury, and he dropped him four times.

    Usyk will win a decision, or he'll get wasted. Usyk could go to sleep in the opening seconds of the fight ... or the closing seconds of the fight ... or any seconds in between.

    Usyk can be nervous when it happens ... bored when it happens ... but he's going to get hit.

    Everyone knows it. You know it, too.

    So sign 'em up, and let's see if Usyk can survive. I'm saying no.

    It just takes one.:)

    And Wilder could be the mandatory ... as he's the WBA's top available contender. Bakole has a fight signed. Dubois has already stated he was injured when he was brought up a week ago.

    Wilder is only behind Dubois and Bakole in the WBA ratings. (Helenius was the #2 WBA contender when Wilder iced him.)

    That fight (Usyk-Wilder) would generate more in sanctioning fees (since they do it by percentage of the purses) than the other two.

    So, their call.

    Usyk should take the Wilder fight instead of waiting on Fury and his hazy mental gymnastics to end. Cash makes any mandatory disappear, which ppv would you buy? Usyk vs Wilder or Usyk vs Dubois.

    Usyk should 100% be looking for this fight if the Fury fight dosn't happen. Very good legacy fight carn't really say that about Dubois. I'm sure he would make a mint of this as well with US PPV.

    Remind me again how cash made Usyk disappear when he was Joshua’s WBO mandatory or how cash made Whyte disappear when he was Fury’s WBC mandatory !

    Usyk has no chance, but defending the titles now, I mean no chance if he still wants to aim at the WBC belt. So make one defense and wait for the end of the year, hopefully for Fury. But if he can defend against Wilder would be a good match, as surely Usyk is not even to compare as a skillset to Wilder, but the "Bronze Bomber" is a danger to everybody with that cross and he's good landing it, can't deny him that. Also, this can happen in USA and bring some good money for both.
