How did a lazy, unmotivated guy like Arreola deserve three (!) titleshots?

    How is this the WBC's fault? Povetkin tested positive so Wilder got another voluntary defense and his team & Haymon picked Arreola

    WBC could mandated a top 10 opponent maybe?

    Arreiola of 2-3-4 years ago would have been a decent s****.
    Sadley even this version is better most of wilders wins thats how bad his record is

    He's not even rated on the WBC website.I don't know why he is fighting for that title.

    Link to WBC Ratings

    If Wilder would have fought Washington, I would be satisfied. Not that Washington is that good, but it would make a better fight.

    Arreola is currently listed as NA due to his failed drug test ban, but that ban has ended when the next set of ratings come out I fully expect Arreola to have jumped into the top 15 for no apparent reason.

    It's fricken deplorable that Wilder is probably fighting Arreola. I used to criticise Wlad for some of his opponents but Wilder's reign so far makes Wlad look like he fought a heavyweight version of murderers row.

    The criteria for a Wilder opponent seems so low maybe Briggs can get another title shot after he loses to Haye.

    The WBC could have intervened and blocked this farce of a fight. They could have instructed Wilder/Haymon to pick a contender ranked in the WBC top 15. But they didn't.

    Yes. I used to like the guy, but he has made it impossible for me to continue to be a fan. His level of competition has been deplorable.

    For the same reasons John Ruiz, the walking punching bag with no redeeming quality whatsoever, did.

    They pose no threat at all to any remotely passable heavyweight (or cruiserweight or even lighheavyweight) , but they are well known to the public

    1- Povetkin didn't test positive, according to Vada itself: his trace amount was well below the allowed limit even in the only test that showed anything

    2- Arreola failed a drug test, and that's proven; but you have no problem if Wilder fights him, uh? Why is that? Is that wilder's ******* haning on your mouth :think?

    Pulev and Jennings are in the top 10. Either would've been a better fight.

    Pulev destroys Deonkey and Jennings goes life and death. That's going by Deonkey' s performances vs cherry picks, Molina, Johan and Spzilka.
