Deontay Wilder to return in April - Opponent will be announced this Saturday

Given his last run of opponents I don't blame Wilder for taking a tune up.

 

Yeah. I would have prefered for him to fight Shaw, but nothing wrong with Harper either. Hope he looks good so he can fight someone from Top 10 next.

 

That's actually a great run of names, too bad he started to fight these kind of boxers so late in his career.

 

Better late than never I suppose

 

100%

 

Wow Doublechin! , this might be your best work.. unlike Fury there's no MMA fighter making his debut on this list.

 

Whoever Wilder is fighting, I'm putting money on his opponent. Wilder is done. Whoever it is, if they turn up to fight then Wilder is there for the taking.

 

Either one ends his career.

 

Why not? easiest win out there for him.

 

If it actually ever was.

 

But wilder only fights unranked bums

 

Same here. I think because of his age he doesn't have time to waste. But his team bemoaned not having a tune up for Parker, then went straight into a hard fight with Zhang. It would be crazy to expect too much of his next opponent. This hopefully means his team is looking to win some fights not just sell his name.

 

I think the general point by DubbleChin is a good one. But if we remove wins against PBC stablemates... Wilder went 0-4-1 against non-PBC fighters, and let's face it that one draw, should also be a loss. The problem was always who he was avoiding while champion. No complaints about who he has fought of late though.

But once he left the shallow waters of his local pool with Uncle Al's life-guards keeping watch, he drowned in the deep end. It is what it is.

 

If you remove certain wins and change a draw to a loss (which I think was a win for wilder)….people try hard to tear apart a resume lol

 

I don't have to try very hard for Wilder. His results and opponents speak for themselves.

Like we all know they were fattening up Kownacki over at the PBC to fight Wilder. How on earth Kownacki got into Rings Top 10 is a mystery. Then Kownacki gets beaten by Helenius. And instead of going after the WBA title, Helenius (PBC) ends up as a victim to make Wilder look good.
