the path of least resistance

There is a lot of hype around Wilder, so naturally with such hype people want to see him tested, and earn his shot.
Wilder(no.3) by logic should have had to fight Jennings(no.4) for the mandatory, and Perez/Charr(5, and 6 for the other mandatory.
Malik Scott by rights should not have been involved in any madatory fights.
It did not make sense did it?
Whether or not anyone thinks any of the order of the rankings even makes sense is another discussion, lol.

 

Boxing is much like a set of bike trails.
One is flat with only a few small jumps, and little to no root system, and another has a complex root system, and steep jumps.
Not only is skill built on the advanced course, a skilled rider must continue to ride it to keep his skills sharp.
Iron sharpens Iron.

 

He has been protected, seriously. I am a GB and Wilder critic but I can at least be honest unlike you. Wilder knocks out Fury, and he'd have a good chance to KO 2002 Tyson (to address that thread from a few weeks ago) he would KO Adamek, Boystov (doesn't have the heart anymore) and a bunch of guys that haters say would kill Wilder. I'm not that blind, to say Wilder can't beat anyone in the top 30 even though he hasn't fought any of 'em, because in all likelihood he would smash most.

Put Wilder in with guys looking to take him out as much as he's trying to do to them, or better defense, well he's still unproven in that dept. Arreola would paint a bullseye on that chin and try to explode it. Leapai (a tough Aussie brawler) would get right in there and try to knock him out or get KO'd trying. Stiverne has better defensive skills than anyone Wilder has faced and can punch a bit too. Wlad KO's him. Jennings has grit and wouldn't fold after one punch.

There are still question marks and he's clearly being moved along slowwww. I'm concerned that Golden Boy is messin with Wilder's head like they did Broner. Kissing his ass calling him one of the best making him think that all fights are going to be easy work as if everyone he's fought were p4p rated.

 

At the end of the day, Wilder is going to have to beat a legit HW to get a title. If he wins the title, he'll immediately have to defend against another legit HW. So I don't see what the problem is.

 

It's all good. Anyway, there aren't many unified champs in the sport period. In fact, there are only 3 different unified champs. Two of them have WBC belts. There's a chance there could be 5 different unified champs, and a unified champ in 6 divisons by the end of the year. Wlad would be the only one without a WBC title.

 

You keep canning all you want...not my problem

I go by scientific facts, Wilder flattened 31 out of 31, never lost, I saw lots of good fighters flattened by Journeyman including Tyson & Wlad, so take your bias elsewhere :roll:

31-0-0-0 (KO 31) nothing to criticize except perfection, if he loses then debates and comparisons are valid...as of now you are theorizing the unlikely, because Wilder is only doing one thing...breaking the skulls and wills of his opponents...and you just have to deal with it :conf

 

:confI guess I gotta deal with it... :-?

 

Welcome to the club :hellohi

Atheists are doing fine dealing with the 3 Billion cult :good
Survivalists are coping well with the certainty of death
Greedy Materialists have to imagine wealth in paper :yep

The G.O.A.T Puncher to ever walk earth is living in our generation, a high end breed modern human, tall, lanky and handsome at 6'8"/84" scrambling the minds of the boxing world...one skull at a time 31-0-0-0 (KO 31) :toney

 

No problem. Just more of a vent about boxing politcs than anything directed square at Wilder.
It's good that we will get to see all of the solid HW fights, just the way the wbc handles their mando's is got me :huh.
