    Someone needs to ask Gerald Washington what he thinks. Somehow I doubt his opinion is any different.

    Actually, Wilder fights below average joes. Most of his "opposition" consists of some of the worst tomato cans his management could find, the rest are mediocrities or aging, overrated contenders.

    The tables have turned considerably

    Wilder's stepping up his opposition whilst the quality of opponents' Jenner is facing is getting worse and worse because he's terrified of losing his unbeaten record.

    As far as i know Breazeale never faced Wilder in the ring, i think he will change his opinion after getting knocked out within 3 rounds against him.

    Doesn't anyone else think it's odd that Breazeale still isn't fighting anyone? It's getting on for a year now? Is he being held in reserve for the Fury fight or am I seeing conspiracies where none exist?

    I personally wouldn't read too much into his inactivity. Yes it's possible he's being held in reserve for Wilder when the Wilder/Fury fight inevitably falls apart. But there are other possibilities.

    He could just be sitting on his mandatory position like Stiverne did to ensure he doesn't lose before a title shot. Not exactly the smartest approach because when he does get his title shot he'll be out of the ring for a year or more and be rusty, just look at how awful Stiverne looked.

    Takam(whodidn't even a train) and Parker were very poor substandard opponents especially Takam who was knocked out for dead against a washed up Chisora. A 40 year old 2 year inactive wlad is his best win unquestionably

    Stiverne, Washington 0rtiz and now Fury are are superior opposition

    That's why I said the tide is turning and Jenner's opponents are becoming progressively worse.

    After he takes care of Povetkin it will be whyte, Pulev and Big baby Miller whilst hiding from the real champions.

    The tables have turned? You gotta be kidding, you saying this because Wilder fought Ortiz? HAHAHA, 1 real acceptable name in 40 fights and even Ortiz was about to be pulled out of the fight on medical grounds until Finkel and DiBella kicked off about it and got their way. And now he is maybe set to face Fury who virtually every pro Boxer or coach interviewed has said its quite clear that Fury isnt ready yet. Worst thing is Finkel and Wilder tapped Fury up for this fight not the other way round. I thought it was bad that Wilder didnt just dismiss Fury until he is match fit, but when Team Wilder actually sought this fight out has just made it much much worse.

    And Joshuas level of opposition is falling? Its ranked number 1 against ranked number 3 cuz ranked number 2 Deontay Wilder ducked. Anthony Joshua could not be facing a higher ranked opponant other than chicken boy Wilder who has just stuck to protocal and kept facing the easier fights. Those tables are definatly NOT turning for team Wilder.

    Takam trained he knew he was the reserve should anything happen to Pulev and was meant to fight on Matchroom card a week later in Monte Carlo I think.

    Parker would beat Stiverne and Washington, nobody with any sense would think otherwise. Stiverne is shot, Washington was never that good.

    Fury fight still yet to be confirmed. It's been 99% done for over a month now and we've still yet to learn anything solid about the fight other than hyperbole from both sides.

    Plus even old Povetkin who Joshua is fighting next is arguably better than anyone on Wilder's current resume, only Ortiz might be better and even that is debatable as Ortiz other than Wilder hasn't fought a decent opponent in years, in fact he's only ever fought one decent opponent other than Wilder.

    He didn't train at all. This was confirmed that he was in the park on his bike cycling around as if he was on holiday, 2 weeks before the fight

    Parker would likely beat the post champ Steverne who was unmotivated and out of shape. However I don't think he wouldn't have beaten him when he was the champ. Not when he struggles to get through 12 rounds and he wouldn't be able to take Stiverne's power.

    Washington is a solid fighter who'd I'd rate on a similar level to Breazelle. Nothing special but tenacious and certainly better than a 38 year old untrained Takam.

    Ortiz, in my opinion was a better win than Wlad considering he was going into the fight active, unbeaten, southpaw and hungry to become champion for his daughter's sake.

    Wlad was inactive, depressed, martial troubles at home, 40 years old and still floored AJ and should have beaten him had his brother not advised him to hold back. Ortiz gave everything, threw the kitchen sink at Wilder and still didn't knock him down.

    As for the Fury vs Wilder fight, you are one of these soap opera fans who wishes that the fight doesn't happen for one reason or the other.

    What we know is Fury has began camp and both parties are in agreement with the contract so it's just a matter of time before all is announced. I have little doubt that the fight won't happen, if any at all to be quite frank.

    Takam was fighting 7 days after Joshua v Pulev, so this 'Myth' about him not having time to train is completely false.
    Whether he did or didn't train is irrelevant.....He had a fight lined up, and knew he was also on standby. Not training would be a lack of professionalism, which isnt something Takam has ever been accused of.


    Also not surprised that Steph has been caught out again.
    Joshua's last 5 opponents are higher ranked by all organisations than Wilder's.....
    So what really changed his opinion?

    He didn't train based on what? You opinion isn't fact. Fact is Hearn said he had been training for 9 weeks prior to the fight. Fact is he came in a the lowest weight in years, how does a guy not training show up more ripped than ever? Plus there's even footage of him training in the weeks prior to the fight.
