    Exactly. The guy needs to be forced into a fight with Wladimir later this summer or Parker.

    The HW division may be weak atm, but wilder has clearly cherrypicked fighters. I mean 5 voluntary defenses is BS.

    Wilder is a manufactured Glass Jawed Fraud. He has been as carefully matched as any fighter in recent times. His 5 defenses have been embarrassing against no hopers.

    He has a statue in Alabama....imagine if he had really done something special.
    They'd carve up a mountain in his image like in South Dakota.

    If the division is as awful as you say it is then its awful but Wilder still isnt facing the best of an awful division. I dont think its an awful division by the way

    Ultimately you fight who you can fight. You can't be held responsible for the strength of the division. But that still means fighting the best of who's available. Wilder isn't. His level of opponent isn't quite as bad as his critics like to make out, but it's well below the standard expected of a fighter of his supposed calibre with his supposed ambitions. He'll need to fight at least one of those 'weak' opponents in the top ten this year to justify anyone's faith in him, and it'll need to be someone the fans consider legit like Parker or Ortiz, not just a cherrypicked borderline top tenner whom he would be heavily favoured against.

    Fan from Europe????

    :risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3:

    Why would a FAN from Europe give a FLYING FUKK about whether Ortiz can speak good English and why this would be just cause for Wilder to continue to swerve solid fights while continually handpicking easy fights???

    Fairly certain this anomaly has given you away as a fan from Alabama.

    Potvetkin a cheating disgrace???
    .007 mcg of meldonium is below WBC allowable limits, and therefore, even had Potvetkin not simply had residual levels in his blood, he STILL can't be called a cheat for such.

    Positive Ostarine test is looking more and more and more like yet another conspiracy to keep the Russian contender away from Wilder.
    While it was suspicious to begin with, we waited for the B sample and even his fans and Wilders haters convicted him in public opinion, THEN.......after months, we find out that not only were the Ostarine levels so low as to not be of any therapeutic advantage, we find out that the sample were tapered with as well.

    What a fukking joke VADA is quickly becoming irt being a neo-political group.

    Yes, Joshua might well KO Wlad, and regardless of who wins, neither was a genuine option for Wilder right now anyway. Pointless addition to your OP.

    Whyte??? Who cares if he got a questionable decision vs DelBoy. Muffukkin BVerno got an absolute gift vs a club fighter that even Malik Scott would dominate in Rossy.

    Parker.....he's got as solid and diverse a resume as any 25 y/o Champion in history.

    He's beaten proven veteran contenders like Botha, Williams, Meehan, and Dimitrenko, while also handling local contenders Haumona and Tupou.
    Wins over Bergman and Martz are also solid, as is Minto, Naciemento, Costa Jr, and Saglam. And Pettway had only been beaten by Mago previously, and Mago was looking unstoppable at that time.

    His top wins were both tight victories over top 10 fighters in Ruiz Jr and Carlos Takam (A French(European) fighter whom you should support if you actually were a European).
    While both Ruiz Jr and Takam had the similar bullish style to push Parker back and wins rds doing it, Parker in both cases, won 7+ rds, earning wins far exceeding anything that Wilder has done in his nearly 40 fight/10yr career. Not only in beating a fighter better, in both cases that Wilders far best win, a solid, but not unnerving French Pastry Chef Duhaupas(yet another fighter you, as a so-called European should get behind).

    As for Hughie.....a little early to be going after the most tested Champion, but also, strategically, the most beatable in terms of styles for Fury who might use his length and speed to come away with the title.

    And again......yet another fight, if you were really a European, you'd get behind.

    Yes.

    Wilder reached his pinnacle when he scraped by ATG Nichols.

    A fight against a dusted off Raymi would cement his own legacy

    Ortiz is a 93 y/o Cuban HW who not once, but twice, was caught with NANDROLONE in his blood, at levels that would give a KY thoroughbred a heart attack.

    Wilder even contemplating fighting that drug cheat would show his true fear of Potvetkin who had trace amounts of Meldonium .007 mcg, which is nothing performance enhanching more than the American equivalent called Plavix, and the now CONFIRMED tampered with test for Ostarine.

    Also.....even if the 93 y/o drug cheat managed to get a fight with Wilder, he's got just an abysmal glass jaw, except he does possess solid skills both defensively and offensively, but someone as simple as Browne or as old as Briggs would put him to sleep for lack of speed in his first defense.

    rather just see Wilder fukk up and give Fedosov a shot and watch what Fedo did to his sparring happen in the ring.

    Where was this? The thread on here stating the "confirmation" was an April Fool's joke.

    Parker
    Hughie
    Ruiz Jr
    Takam
    Duhaupas
    Fedosov

    HW boxing almost always exciting, and the CW division is on F/N fire.

    There are more than a dozen solid prospects at HW that could come roaring thru the ranks so as well.
