    That's what they were saying before Price sparked him out. I don't think anyone can retire this guy.

      Lol just look at the difference in opposition. They turned Pro at the SAME TIME, Wilder is OLDER, Wilder is an OLYMPIAN, and Fury has fought vastly better opposition. It's Wilder who's the ***** man. hahahaha

      I'll let ya troll.
      See above, Fury basically had NO amateur experience.

      Wilder is what, 28? and has fought nobody. Hell Harrison is a journeyman.

      What gives, how much "building up" does he need?

        As much as he needs, he's still relatively young for a HW. Too easy just to write him off like that, but I've noticed you do that with many fighters.

          nah man, something stinks. They are ****ting themselves to put this guy in with a live body.

          No point fabricating some pointless record against joke opposition

          a 41 year old Fraudley is a HUGE step up for wilder

          something stinks.

            He's 27.

            You know who Lennox Lewis had fought at that age.?

            Nobody.

            You should make a thread that says "Why did Lennox Lewis fight a shot Tyrell Biggs, the Olympic champion that never amounted to ****, when he coming off a KO loss? What gives? Why cant Lennox be great like Tyson Fury?"

            It would make about as much sense as these nonstop bait threads you like to do.

              Don't know what all the fuss is about. Like it or not, a Harrison fight gets your name out there. Considering Wilder fought dustin nichols not too long ago, and Audley looked alright in the prizefighter tournament - I like it. I just think it's the dumbest move by Wilder's people. If, and that's a big IF, Audley wins, Wilder will have nowhere to go.

                Like I said everybody is ducking him. He can't help it if no decent heavyweight wants to get pummeled and have their soul destroyed.

                  At 27 and one month, Lewis fought Razor Ruddock.

                    Well Gary Mason, Tony Tucker, Razor Ruddock and Frank Bruno is far far better than what Wilder has done. Add to that he was world champion - and i'm not sure what you're talking about at all. He was selling out stadiums and Wilder is still fighting in strip clubs! haha-

                      I really hope you're trolling.
