A point about Deontay Wilder and the ongoing nonsense regarding how many contenders he's faced

I cant believe my eyes, Everyone is swerving the name Dillian Whyte

700 days

 

i agree they are haters

 

@Dubblechin

I wouldn't rate (personally) Hrgovic, Joyce, or Dubois to be contenders for Wilder because they are relative novices.

I'd rate Hunter and DILLIAN WHYTE, and Chisora, and Rivas... and Usyk.... and DILLIAN WHYTE...

You know what, **** all of you for ignoring Dillian Whyte.

 

Wilder has been absurdly protected by the W(P)BC as can be seen by his awful string of 10 cherry pick defences, and the world see's him for what he really is, a paper champion.

When Wilder steps up and faces young, fit and reasonable contenders, I will take back my comment.

Molina
Duhuapas
Szpilka
Arreola
Washington
Stiverne II
Ortizn't I
Fury
Bumzeale
Ortizn't II

This is an awful resume for a champion at this stage, really really pathetic.

Come on Wilder, make a fan out of me, I'm willing to change my opinion..... STEP UP or **** off.

A fit Fury in the rematch is a start but I see you hitting thin air all night worse than before.

 

You make up for everyone bro... Lol

 

Why have you just wasted half an hour replying to me about what somebody else said?

I don't give two hoots about any of the above in terms of this discussion, because Wilder hasn't fought any of them. But for the record:

Whyte - definite top contender, several good wins, only one loss to AJ.
Fury - again, definite top contender, though he needs to stop dining out on the Klitschko and first Wilder fights and actually do something.
Parker - former champ, arguably beat Whyte, definite contender.
Povetkin - ask me again after the Hunter fight, definitely was, but after the brutal AJ KO and at the age of 40 odd may not be any longer, though has just beaten H Fury.
Ortiz - See Povetkin, but swap Wilder for AJ
Chisora - nah, good gatekeeper but that's it at this stage
Hrgovic - not yet, good prospect, will probably become a contender but needs to beat someone better than Kevin Johnson first. Some prospects look good then fall apart when someone hits them back.
Hunter - ask me again after the Povetkin fight, if he wins that impressively then yes. Think former cruisers need to beat an established heavyweight gatekeeper type first, whatever their accomplishments at the lower weight. Could maybe argue that Ustinov counts.
Usyk - similar, needs to beat someone better than Witherspoon first, despite his cruiser credentials.
Joyce/ Dubois - see Hrgovic
Pulev - yeah, he's still legit though knocking on
Kownacki - yeah, unbeaten and defeated several of Wilder's challengers. Deserves contender status.

But you know you're reaching when you have to list the reams of top guys your boy hasn't faced to try and legitimise the lesser fighters that he has!

 

It's sad coz they know Whyte sparks an aggressive, mistake making Wilder the **** out.

 

Bullsh it

 

Are you getting paid to mention the word contender as many times as you possibly can?
To be honest I’ve not heard anyone ok here making the argument you claim they do. What I hear is loads of people agreeing Wilder has cherrypicked his way though the past 4 years

 

I’d say its boxings biggest tragedy that not even the boxing forum can acknowledge the number 1 contender or even mention him in a thread about contenders... just very confused right now

Is this life?

 

Surely the quality of their respective opponents needs to be taken into account rather than just lumping them all into the same 'exclusive club' and on top of that, since when is a draw a successful defence?

As already stated, if and when Wilder unifies, takes care of his long term number 1 mandatory in Whyte and maybe takes care of another consensus top 10 heavyweight, his resume will always be seen as relatively thin and smoke and mirrors.

I would have so much more respect for Wilder if he had a run of bouts where he just dared to be great rather than picking on old men, uber drivers, pastry chefs, supply teachers and football hooligans.

I'm sorry but, I'm yet to be bowled over and consistently impressed.

 

Dude, apart from Fury and arguably, Ortizn't, all those fighters you list are far better than ALL of the other 'contenders' Wilder has faced and that's exactly the point everyone is trying to make.

I want Wilder to dare to be great. Win , lose or draw, fight the top challengers in your division and then you'll get the respect you crave. And Dubblechin, stop chomping on that Wilderesque dildo every time you post a thread about him ffs.
