    Even though its not Wilders fault there's just been too much of this garbage attached to his career to give him a pass. Why is this not happening with anybody else? He should give up the belt and walk away.
    Stiverne II??? What a joke :drooling:

    Wilder only wants to fight no hopers that don't put his big payday against Joshua at risk. He will cash out against AJ, get KTFO and retire right after that. Mark my words.

    Well he’s already in camp as he was due to face Brezeale on the undercard, so he’s been training.

    Wilder only fights opponents on a short notice, that is nothing new.

    Breazeale would practically have a better resume than Wilder if that fight happens lol

    Thank goodness, justice prevails. Just need that old fool Ortiz to be stripped of his mandatory positions, including the wba. Lol Deontay ending another career.

    This is why I wasn't giving Wilder any credit when he signed up for Ortiz, I knew something shady would happen.
    This man is a joke.

    Except that Stivern failed a drug test and is somehow the mandatory...

    I dunno, I think believing Don King has this kind of influence in 2017 is only slightly less ridiculous than the notion that Wilder himself is forcing the WBC to call off these fights. I actually do kind of wonder if they feel bad for Stiverne after they jerked him around during his first period as a mandatory while Vitali was deciding for ages whether he'd ever fight again or not and still holding the WBC title.
