Buuuuum squaaaaaaaaaad!

Yo I wonder if anyone goes on Wilder's twitter or instagram and puts in #BumSquad

This will go down as one of the all time great heavyweight championship fights:

Tunney vs Dempsey
Louis vs Schmeling
Ali vs Frazier
Tyson vs Holyfield
Wilder vs Duhaupas

Can't wait for this epic battle!!!!

Yep. I was thinking the same thing.
Right up there with

Carl Tunney vs Fred Dempsey
Sammy Louis vs Schvengie Schmeling
Terrence Ali vs Mavis Frazier
Biff Tyson vs Slim Ed Holyfield

Why does GGG get way more hate when this dude wilder is doing the same thing but worst

Can't believe they're gonna televise this ****e. What happened to his mandatory against povetkin??? If there is no money in facing your mandatory, or you've defended it loads of times and are transitioning weight classes to find the massive paydays elsewhere then I can understand why some champions don't. But this is wilders second defence.....and he still hasn't upped his level of competition even as a champion. how dare this ***** ***git to even talk big. What an ass clown.......is this what black American boxing has become? - I cam see why a lot of yank fight fans have shifted Iver to mma

[richardt]

The night Wilder fought Stiverne, I had a ton of respect for how well he did in the fight and then his last two opponents???? Respect right out the window!You have to skip over a ton of top fighters to find these guys!!!!

No one in Wilder's camp is running around, trumpeting Wilder as arguably the best heavyweight to ever live, or a fighter who will absolutely crush any fighter even near him in weight.

Team Wilder thinks that Wilder has the potential to be a great heavyweight, but they also know that he only started boxing as an amateur at the age of 21 (will be turning 30 in October), deliberately kept the training wheels on him through the first four years of his pro career (Kelvin Price was the first guy that team Wilder put Wilder in with who had maybe a pulse), and then slowly stepped him up in anticipation of a possible title shot, going ahead with thw WBC mandatory when they were confident that Wilder was ready for the shot.

Wilder picked up the belt, celebrated getting the belt, but still kept his eyes on and acknowledged that Wladimir Klitschko was still "the man to beat".

Wilder is an acknowledged work in progress, barely having had an amateur career and competing in a division when 30 is only the start of your prime (Wladimir Klitschko, on the downside but still the top heavyweight doing it, is 39 years of age and having fought, pro or amateur, for nearly 25 years now), who is getting better with every fight.

Gennady Golovkin is 33 years of age, has at least been fighting as at least top amateur since 2000 and fought 350 amateur fights, and has been a professional fighter for a decade now, yet you can't look at the man's resume and say, with a straight face, the caliber of opposition that he's faced has blown away the level of guys that Wilder has been put in with (made worse if Team Wilder is able to lock in the Povetkin fight this year).

Yet Team Golovkin and his fanbase have the gall to trumpet the man as if he's proven himself to be God's gift to the sport.

remember when i said you were biased and inconsistent? example right here! you can create all the straw mans you want but you are defending the guy that isn't trying to fight anyone good in his division while bashing the guy who has tried and is trying to fight everyone in his division. do you have no shame or dignity?

they aren't doing the same thing. ggg tried to fight martinez, cotto, sturm, lee, quillin, pirog, soliman, ndam, etc...but they turned him down. wilder hasn't reached out to any good fighters.

Who in the Blue Hell is Johann Duhaupas?

You know, that fresh, iron chinned, ko specialist champion in waiting. (#12wbc #34boxrec, 34yr old, 59% ko ratio who was outboxed conclusively tby the likes of teper and pianetta).
