[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

toughest opponent to date, once beaten and very experienced Malik Scott (36-1). Wilder and Scott will battle in a WBC final eliminator on March 15th from the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Showtime will televise.

This time Wilder is facing a personal friend, which has left him with mixed emotions. Scott helped Wilder prepare for his December 2012 encounter with Kelvin Price and the two boxers celebrated after the victory.

When Wilder knocks you out, it's just his way of saying he likes you.

I really wanna get excited about this kid. Been following him since he won his Olympic bronze. But his competition as a pro has been absolutely pathetic. I mean seriously, Scott is a HUGE step up and I really don't even consider him a fringe heavyweight. I was really impressed, and somewhat surprised with Bryant Jennings' performance against Szpilka. I thought that was a losable fight for him. But he shined. Scott is more polished than Szpilka. But I consider them the same level of opponent. I'd pick Scott in a head-2-head fight though. Hopefully Wilder can one up Jennings and put on a good performance. I'm really ready to see both these two make a move in 2014. I'm hoping against hope that one of, if not both give me a reason to genuinely care about the heavyweight division for the first time in I don't know how long.

Wilder hasn't fought a fringe contender yet. But if he beats Scott, his next fight will be for the WBC world title.

Am I the only one who thinks that stinks?

I've got scott by KO on this one.

I guess it depends on how you view the belts. Personally, I'm more of a lineal title guy. Also, more times than not The Ring magazine champ generally is the guy the majority see as tops in the division. So I'm cool with their belt. As for the ABC belts, I don't put a lotta stock in them. Especially if there's a lineal or Ring champ in the division.

Which brings me to Wilder. With Vitali gone, there's clearly an established champ in Wladimir. So the WBC belt means nothing to me. If Wilder gets past Scott, and then wins the BC afterwards. Personally, I'd simply view it as him establishing himself as a legitimate contender to Wlad. And as long as Wlad is there and keeps winning. I won't view anybody in that division as a legitimate champ without seein' Wlad. I gave a bit more respect to the BC belt when Vitali had it. Because IMO he had a legitimate claim to the lineal title. But with him not in the mix. That belt is worth about as much as the paper I drop in the toilet after taking a ****.

Well said. Not sure why your in the red, but i can take a stab at it with all the trolling and protection for a certain fighter who's name you cannot mention in a bad post, lest you get red k'd into oblivion.

Green K'ing you, mine aint worth much at all but hope it helps my dude!
