If Wilder does fight Washington, I will give him some credit

15. Gerald Washington

That's literally the least he should do.

 

I can honestly say that I haven't seen him fight. Is he any good? Is it a step up for Wilder in terms of opposition?

 

I doubt he is better than current Arreola.

Wilder needs to step up and fight King Kubrat Pulev.

 

Washington is ****... But far better than the corpse of Arreola at this point. This would be a slightly better fight...

 

He is. "current Arreola" is not much better or worse than he ever was - simply C level. Washington would have been an acceptable substitute fight for the Povetkin debacle (which was not on Wilder obviously). Washington is heads and shoulders above Arreola at this point.

 

He should already have a loss to Amir Mansour

 

Why? He struggled badly with Aguilera, who Arreola knocked out in 3. He lost to Amir Mansour. He outboxed the much smaller and shot Eddie Chambers.

 

He didn't beat him though, he drew. Drawing with a Middle aged man and beating an irrelevant for half a decade Chambers shouldn't really give you a title shot.

 

And Nagy! His win over Chambers means nothing as Eddie had lapsed fully into 'sparring partner' mode and was only there to survive and collect a check.

 

washingbum is a bum. the wbc rankings were created to protect deontay

 

50 year old Tarver would pose a bigger threat to Wilder than any of these clowns. Would be pretty easy to promote too. Easy to compare Tarver to Foreman and mention his performances against Banks, Cunningham as evidence that he would be a live body here.

 

Ortiz, haye , joshua

 

Washington did not look great to me against the man formerly known as Fast Eddie Chambers. Too stiff and not willing to let his hands go against a guy there to be taken.
Arreola is a shell of himself but still has a punchers chance. That being said, his best bet would be to jump on Wilder from the opening bell and take his chances in the first 2-3 rounds because he won't survive down the stretch.
