Wladimir Klitschko? Vitali Klitschko? Shannon Briggs? David Haye? Bryant Jennings? Kubrat Pulev? Dereck Chisora? All guys which have been active during Wilder's career. All have either held World Titles, or fought against the best in the division.... Coincidentally, they have all been ranked higher during their careers than any of Wilder's opponents. Did Wilder duck them all?
W. Klistchko - Probably he ducked. V. Klistchko - Been retired for five years Shannon Briggs - fights nothing but bums, wouldn't pass VADA, we'd be in the same position. David Haye - Haye wouldn't take that fight on the best day of his life. Bryant Jennings - Been in the ring 3 times since Deontay won the title in 2015. Kubrat Pulev - come on. Dereck Chisora - British level fighter 27 wins 8 losses, never really beaten a contender.
You clearly miss the point. All of the above have been active during Wilder's career and all are a better name on his resume than he actually has. So clearly he ducked them all? Especially after Wlad and Haye destroyed him?
If only boxing were that simple, and there were no promoters, drug tests, managers, sanctioning bodies, contractual obligations, networks, injuries or mobsters involved. That would be great. Unfortunately, there are...
Wilder makes one million per fight fighting journeymen, and wouldn't make much more (or his manager wouldn't) after paying anyone decent to fly to Alabama. The only choice is to travel to England (or Germany during the Klitchkos) but no one has been willing to pay what Wilder think he's worth. And since he think he's worth 7 millions fighting Whyte (but only 1 fighting Stiverne in New York) I kinda understand it. And yes, he's ducking everybody who can't guarantee an easy or huge paycheck.
Kind of agree with you here, if all that other stuff was non existent we would have a much clearer idea of who truly is top dog in all weight classes. Still, Wilder has fought no one.
Cause Wilder is clearly delusional,case in point not long back Wilder actually said “everyone wanted me to fight Washington so I did” Now correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t remember the forum going into meltdown over Wilder v Washington but this is precisely the delusional BS that Hearn just said of him and Hearn didn’t need to add anything as Wilders resume and intentions are just there.
This is the Joshua fans rally thread, lmao. None of those fights ever came fights to be negotiations. The guys you listed didn't have Wilder on their radar.
It wouldnt matter, wilder has radar pre-set on wino's from the alley only. Thats why he hasn't fought anyone after 40 fights.
i was looking forward to the ortiz fight pity that was cancelled / now joshua v wilder is the only real fight out there to mAKE unless fury comes back quick or haye kos bellew and looks the business
