    Not in terms of style but in standing. Top 20 in the division MAYBE? undefeated but inexperienced? Sounds like the same type of Guy Golovkin got all kinds of **** for fighting
    And even worse, Wade was atleast a mandatory Golovkin had to fight him, Wilder is choosing Washington to be his 5th voluntary in a row!!!

    Actually both were 18-0 with 12KO's when they fought GGG and Wilder respectively. Why was GGG torn apart for fighting Wade? I dont even really like golovkin, i think he is overrated by some, but the double standards are frustrating!

    To be fair, Washington is taking the fight on short notice. Warwrzyk was a pretty dire choice of a challenger, though.

    Wade got a gift with that Soliman win.
    Washington had luck his own luck with Mansour.
    Fact is that neither man deserved to be in a challengers position, but they got to it.
    But Washington has some experience, unlike Wade.

    yup which makes it even more hypocritical that GGG was slammed for Wade, but YTBC is making vids titled "WOW! Wilder opponent even better than original!"

    how does washington rate higher in experience? soliman is far better at his weight than mansour at his.

    id say thats a fairly decent comparison....the difference being is nobody says wilder is an ATG or one of the top 5 p4p fighters in the world....

    Wilder also hasn't established himself as the consensus #1 in his division.

    That's silly though. Golovkin is a guy that has trouble getting opponents and wants to stay active. It isn't like he picked Wade.

    the thing is....golovkin is considered a top 5 p4p guy...and his resume is real weak...he could have bypassed that fight and found something better to build that resume...he could have reached out to lara or a few other guys.....hes a guy that is supposed to be a network star.......2016 was a complete waste for him other than earning some money in a farce....

    wilder was at least going on the road to answer a question....but that fell through not because of him

    if lara were to move up, wouldn't he automatically get rated number one? or at least top 3-5.
