    If the fight happened very few oddsmakers in America would know who Skelton or his opponents were.

    But yes, in the completely random instance of it every happening, sure.

    Won't bet with you on Wilder beating someone of comparable ranking though. There are many beatable fighters for him in that bracket.

    Did Fury not back down from the Wilder fight? Didn't he also call out the NBC Heavyweight Champion (Jennings) and get told "not yet"?

    looks like it's now "TBA". Pity, after all the excitement and buildup I was looking forward to the Greer fight.

    Maybe Matt Skelton will be a late replacement? We can hope.

    He isn't fighting bigger names, he wants to fight a higher level of journeymen, like your Brit fellows fight now.

    That said again, Fury said he was going to fight him then backed out.

    Kevin Price is as good as Mollo or Minto, so cut the BS like they are top level journeymen.

    Again Wilder isn't marketed based on his KO rate and no one looks at it highly because people know he has been in relatively light, so stop crying about irrelevent **** and stuff that isn't even a real issue except in the recesses of your mind.

    Not yet. But do you honestly think it won't be used as a selling point somewhere down the line? What else doe he have?

    Again you are complaining about something that doesn't exist. Try to limit your criticisms to actual things that can be critiqued.

    **** like this is why everyone reading knows you are just a blind hater. You are hating on someone for **** you think is going to happen.

    Which will happen of course. After all, no one's going to be complimenting him on his silky smooth skills or unparalleled ability to take a punch, now are they?

    It's all about that right hand, man.

    So you have a gripe with the future marketing department at HBO?

    won't he have to KO some genuinely good fighters before he gets a meaningful fight while retaining his KO record?

    Will Sky Sports (or whoever) be marketing David Price's 86% KO record -- and if not, why not?

    Serious thought - Prizefighter Heavyweights is on Feb 23rd with Audley and Rogan. At this point it would be a step up for Wilder and a way to get more exposure. Don't know who else is taking part though...

    Eddie do the business!

    Fury ignored Wilder and told him to get himself a proper ranking,Wilder was ranked 70th or something stupid at the time?Just 5 days ago Fury said he wants Jennings or Wilder ... It was Wilder that went for Jennings with some bull**** and when Jennings agreed to fight him,Wilder suddenly took back his offer.
