Wilder's next fight should be Povetkin. Yeah, he'll lose that 0 if he steps in the ring with Povetkin.
True, his opposition has been better than Wilder, but it's still pretty bad post-Porter. I'm extremely frustrated with his title reign. All his opponents have been outside of the top 10. I don't rate Chaves in the top 10 since he's only there because of his fake draw with Bradley. Other than that, he has yet to defeat a named opponent.
Difference is with Brooks opposition they are mandatories and fights at extremely short notice, (he wasn't even meant to fight on the card where he faced Gavin but was brought in to save the PPV when matchroom lost the purse bid for DeGale Dirrell) Wilders was both voluntaries and the weakest opposition in the top 15 on dates he had booked for months. Brook has also tried to get Khan, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Maidana, Garcia, Rios and Bradley in the ring but Haymon doesn't want his superstars anywhere near Brook and other than Bradley (who HBO said they wouldn't be able to do until early 2016) Arums stars aren't interested. The best fighter Wilder has attempted to fight is the bum he fought the other night. And saying Chaves ain't a worthwhile opponent is admitting Brook is leagues above Bradley, Thurman and Rios. All of which he gave hell to.
Brook is a proven p4p Top 10 fighter, Wilder isn't yet. Wilder must fight a real contender yet (please don't let it be Wawrzyk). I don't see Brook losing any time soon.
:roflatsch No he is not beating B level Porter doesnt make you p4p proven fighter, he needs big fight ASAP.
He didn't give hell to Bradley. What fight were you watching? Chaves was never, ever in that fight. The swollen face was from a head-butt. I think I only gave Chaves 2 rounds when I scored it. And yeah, Chaves was only a worthwhile fight for Rios and Thurman. Brook has been ducking the entire welterweight division.
Wasn't you saying Selby ducked everyone outside of Haymon stable by signing with Haymon? So by that note Mayweather, Garcia, Maidana, Thurman, Khan, Alexander, Porter etc have all ducked Brook. Plus Bundu, Khan, Bradley, Porter, Ali and Alexander was all offered final eliminators to be Brooks Mando. All turned it down. So explain how Brook is ducking the Welterweight division when since he's been champ he's not rejected a single offer from a top 10 fighter.... Yet several have from him
