Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder To Return on September 26th, on NBC

It will be chris arreola...

It's a huge mistake not showcasing wilder on mayweathers undercards

Given Arreola's recent showings, that wouldn't be a bad fight for Wilder. All his punch resistance has gone, and it'd be the second best name on Wilder's resume.

Absolutely agree with you re. the Mayweather card. If they want to milk the WBC belt some more, it'd be smart to give Wilder some global exposure.

The logical progression for wilder would be

Arreola
Adamek
Tarver
Cunningham
Chisora

Experienced vets that will provide challenge but not be too threatening..

Then probably a Stiverne rematch or fury

Then wlad and Povetkin... Let these needs age some more and get wilder more experienced

Then anthony Joshua by end of decade..

That's my rough outline of wilder's career gameplan if I was his handler

I would agree with this if Wilder WASN'T the WBC CHAMPION.

Tim Bradley would be up for it I'm sure.

Wilder sounds butthurt on twitter right now.

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Its hard to imagine it will be against anyone that can make it competitive.

[Earl-Hickey]

The champ is here!

[Drunken Cat]

Wilder's fans are the most ignorant bandwagon hoppers I've ever seen, ever. I've followed his career since the Olympics. He is **** and a complete fraud. The most protected fighter in recent memory.

Eddie Chambers just signed with haymon...?

Is that so? That's some coincidence.

Undersized, washed up, former contender with no big power?

Sounds like the right opponent.

[Earl-Hickey]

Its hard to imagine it will be against anyone that can make it competitive.

because there isnt anybody

[The Big Dunn]

I hope wilder and his team choose someone decent to fight and not put him in with another Molina.

While I understand fans want to see an American HWT champ KO someone, WIlder needs to get better if he actually wants to beat Povetkin and Wlad and not just get the big paychecks.

[Chrismart]

He needs to up his game now he's the champ.

He may not be ready to fight the Povetkin's and Wlad's. But he should be taking on the Arreola's and Browne's at the very least.
