      Yeah we'll see. Great boxers don't become great boxers until they become great boxers, know what I mean? Who was Ali before he beat Liston? Who was Foreman before he beat Frazier? Floyd didn't sell 1mm+ PPVs until recently.

      The division is pretty wide open but if Wilder can beat these other guys, we'll know he's very good at the very least. Even Ali and Joe Louis lost fights..

        That is fine, but I still think the Molina fight is a set back. He shouldn't be fighting a guy who is just like the 1st 32 guys he fought IMO. I don't like to see guys step down in competition like this as they prepare to climb the ladder.

        There are better HWT's than Molina-Aerrolea, Cunnigham, and some others in the top 10 that he should be fighting next.
        Arreola is shot man. He practically lost to a fat, overweight club fighter way worse than Molina in his last PBC appearance.

        Cunningham would be nice. Wonder what he's doing..

          People need to get over the Molina choice; yeah, he's a **** opponent but Wilder's team wanted a 'soft touch' opponent to showcase him in his hometown. He's required to face Povetkin (who is a world beater) in his next defense.

            Yeah all the top guys do this stuff. Fury just tuned-up for his world title fight with the great Wlad by facing the nasty killer......Christian Hammer

                  That's what I'm saying, I actually feel bad for Wilder... he tattooed the WBC on himself lol.

                    He needs to stop fighting bums for a change. Unfortunately for him that's about the time he gets his glass chin shattered.

                      The whole division needs to stop fighting bums and start fighting each other..
