Who the fcuk is Gerald Washington?

He's Alexander Povetkin without the roids. Yeah, the only small difference here being One is a gold medalist, former title holder who can actually box. And the other is a big stiff who is terrified to throw any punches, and lack's any kind of skillset whatsoever. good comparison though!

I don't mind the Washington fight given the circumstances (Wilder coming off surgery and previous opponent testing positive). But this guy needs to step it up big time after this fight. While I do think the opponents he has fought since being champ haven't been that good, it's funny to me that no other champions really mention Wilder's name when it comes to fights.

Well, he was going to fight this more well known guy by the name of Povetkin....

'height is a skill ' :lol1: :lol1: Juggernaut keeps on exceeding himself with his levels of stupidity

stirverne....lol who is he? a guy who beat chris arreola twice and he's a top guy? i dont thinkkkkkkkkkk so SADLY at this current state of HWs hes a top name, hard but fair sad but true

Gerald Washington isn't a bad opponent, given the circumstances. The thing that I find stupid is how his ranking on Boxrec and with the governing body's suddenly rockets once the fight was announced. Bumping him up the rankings does nothing to further justify the fight, just makes it hard to take any of the ranking body's seriously. Deontay Wilder has been fighting a decent level of challenger by todays standards. Outside of the top four or five in the division the competition is pretty weak. The only criticism I have is the blatant rejection of giving Luis Ortiz a shot, even after he's been proven clean and is willing to take any form of testing. Wilder-Ortiz would be an intriguing spectacle.

I saw his fight against Chambers, he looked like what he is, a big football player with no boxing skills or talent. Possibly even worse than Arreola's beached whale corpse that Wilder fought last time. ] no talent lol. the guy is 6'6" and has an 82 inch reach, and he's on TV after debuting as a pro at 30 :lol1:. FFS he didn't box when he was 12 like eddie chambers. most of your favorite pros have been boxing since they were kids. it sounds like you honestly don't even know what talent is. skills and talents are completely different things. talents are abilities you bring with you to the sport. height. reach. at hw, size. punching power. speed. your chin. boxing skills can be taught. timing, technique, pacing, positioning, distance, angles, etc.

wilder tried to fight povetkin but the guy cheated. he just won a massive lawsuit regarding it. IDK what pass you're talking about. you're getting mad at the wrong guy. this is a guy who should have fought alexander povetkin, a top 5 HW, and who beat bermane stiverne, a top 5 HW at the time. gerald washington is a big, athletic dude, but he is green and boxes like an amatuer. sound familiar? he played football at junior college after the navy with only 1 year of high school experience. then went on to play at USC and made some NFL practice squads. started boxing as a grown man, same as a lot of, big, athletic american kids who are steered toward football and basketball and collegiate athletics. sound familiar?

I saw his fight against Chambers, he looked like what he is, a big football player with no boxing skills or talent. Possibly even worse than Arreola's beached whale corpse that Wilder fought last time. yeah but he's tall. tall guys are good because they are tall.

wow you guys need to learn your history. first president of the united states :lol1::lol1::lol1:

I thought Mansour was on the card I'm mistaken. Still shaping up nicely and the the card the week after the two main events look competitive. You are one bitter F.aggot. You'll justify Wade but shyt on Wilder though it's a tun up.. Wilder and GGG have the sand kinda records facing the same level of tin cans. wade was a mandatory and washington is not. ggg is fighting his 8th o 9th top 10 opponent to wilders 1. ¿same kinda records¿

The first president of the united states...dont you folks know your damn history?

Yea Wilder will kill Washington, Washington looks the part but he really doesn't do anything impressive from a boxing standpoint while lacking real power and stamina. Wilder has his issues but he will eat a guy like Washington up, it is a fight that will flatter him a lot. Which will be fun for a Wilder fan like myself but it doesn't mean much of anything. I thought Mansour was on the card I'm mistaken. Still shaping up nicely and the the card the week after the two main events look competitive. That guy is worse than Wade was at Middleweight. A typical Bumsquad opponent to pad his record. I said years ago, that Wilder will never ever fight a legit opponent until he can cash out his title in a big fight vs AJ. You are one bitter F.aggot. You'll justify Wade but shyt on Wilder though it's a tun up.. Wilder and GGG have the sand kinda records facing the same level of tin cans.

Gerald Washington is a SG for the Harlem Globetrotters

Washington is a nobody getting bigged up by a certain group on here. That's all he is. Wilder, in picking such opponents has become an after thought in the division he claims to be a champion in fact...such in fact that much younger fighters in Parker and H. Fury are getting much more attention for their bout lol Let's not even get started on the lack of care for Wilder when compared to AJ/Wlad. Some idiots try claiming that fighting weak fighters or once a year bum club is "good bidness" but in relaity it created a disconnect between the boxer and boxing fans. If it carries on too long, people stop caring.

This. Judge Wilder after this, shyt the injury may not even hold up and he could lose having to capitulate. Give the guy a pass for this one, no more after this or he deserves to be slammed Sandusky style. and how did he get the injury...fighting chris arreola. the cycle keeps repeating itself. i have an injury, i have a long layoff, i need a tuneup, oh i need another tune up, etc...

punching bag to test Wilder's right hand.. I seriously think this fight you have to give Wilder a pass because of the injury but not the ones after this.. And how many fights has Brook taken to test his eye socket? LOL man the big alabama chicken is a disgrace to boxing.

Been punished. Served suspension So did Margarito. :D

Undercard is taking shape, fun card. Nothing serious but better than fück all. Yea it is a fun card, both the other fights are intriguing. Although I think Breazeale is a stiff but he is tough and the other guy is supposed to be something so Breazeale will be a good test for that and should be mostly offense even if it gets sloppy at times. Harrison and Hurd will be very interesting of course. The Wilder fight should end in a knockout, and Wilder generally does provide on his knockouts. Also I like Sweet Hands Plant and he will be on the FS1 portion of the card.
