I would have liked Wilder to have been at the Joshua/Parker event. Better singular win?

    I think it would have been great to have D Wilder be at the event as there would be Joshua and Parker. Povetkin who Wilder didnt fight would have also have been there. Whyte who has just scored a great win and is possibly a future Wilder opponent would likely be there. Also Bellew who Wilder got into a bit of banter with could well be there and maybe Haye as well.
    That could be alot of top HWs in one place.
    Wilder does have some UK fans and I think he realises that.

    I view Wilder as one of the top HWs right up there with many of the others but he has yet to score some of the bigger wins.
    Some other HWs may not have an overall greater resume but several do have IMO a greater singular win and some with greater resumes overall.

    Haye over Valuev
    Bellew over Haye
    Joshua over Klitschko
    Fury over Klitschko

    arguably Pulev over Ustinov
    arguably Whyte over Brown

    Joshua/Parker

    I didnt have time to post that I felt Groves would beat Eubank and Wilder beat Ortiz but am picking Joshua to beat Parker.

    I think Parker gives a game brave performance but loses clearly to Joshua.
    I think Joshua stops Parker in the second half

    I think Wilder should be there and i wanted him to be there, just like everybody else i want that fight next or as soon as possible and i was looking forward to any possible meyhem he may cause with so many cameras on him. Coming over would of done him lots of good.

    I think Ortiz was his big singular win, Ortiz was not what he once was, he may be 38 he may be 54 but Wilder really went through it against him and showed he has big guts and big heart. His Boxing ability didnt impress me, his power did but it always has, but ive never seen him in that sort of trouble before and he came through it, thats a real big box ticked. Also if im guna give Joshua all the plaudits for beating Klitchko who is not what he once was but still a big player in the division ive gotta give Wilder the plaudits for his win over Ortiz. I think that was a very good win.

    Had Wilder have been there, he would have been in the company of Joshua, Parker, Whyte, Bellew and Povetkin.

    Do you think Povetkin/Whyte will happen?
