Comments Thread For: Wilder is Warned By Scott That Duhaupas is No Joke

Did you post in here your anger when Povetkin was defending the WBA against Wawrycz and cruiserweights?

Povetkin was only the WBA "regular" champion.

Nobody gives a shit who fights for those psuedo titles.

I don't have to "defend" Wilder. He's the WBC champ. I seriously doubt he gives one iota of a s*** what NSB posters have to say.

I'm simply pointing out the double standards NSB posters often display..

And now you're going to that lame cop out post, "he doesn't care about some poster on the internet therefor your opinion is irrelevant". NSB is a place where us boxing fans talk to each other.

He certainly doesn't have to care about what NSB thinks about his opponent. Only it doesn't stop here man, look at Facebook, twitter and any other social media outlet - everywhere this fight has been discussed it gets trashed. People have wised up to Team Wilder and their ways. I had no problem with it early in his career since he didn't have much of an amateur background, but as you pointed out he's a CHAMPION. These types of fights are unacceptable. If you're cool with champions fighting guys not even ranked top 30, that's on you. Personally I want some accountability here in our sport, champions at the very least should be defending against top 15 guys. And it's not like there is any shortage of decent opponents to choose from that wouldn't pose much of a threat. This is just bad matchmaking. It makes no sense at all. Nothing wrong with being critical of it.

Teper just fought man. Teper is not going to fight the WBC champ on a 2 month turnaround..

This has gotta be the lamest excuse I've heard in awhile. Teber fought in July and smoked his opponent in two rounds in a fight where he didn't sustain any damage. Teber was in good shape and could have easily got back into training camp to be ready for a late September fight. If anything, the short turnaround time would be beneficial to him since he was in a good shape and riding momentum from the Price KO.

Still defending this awful fight?

That's your defense, really? Using some other fighter who fought an undefeated prospect a few years ago makes it ok for Wilder?

That's pretty much the same level Wilder has been fighting at if not better. Wilder best win in Stivern whoses best win is Arreola who doesn't even have a best win.

I don't think Wilder has proved he is better yet.

He has a belt but his resume is a joke, there's only 1 name on it that you give any credit for beating.

This French guy coming off a win against Charr is a better opponent than we usually get from Wilder. If it wasn't for his belt, that's the level Wilder belongs at at the moment.

This is irrelevant to the point I was making. Duhaupas having given some issues to people like Pianeta, Teper, and Charr doesn't suggest that he's dangerous against everyone and that no one would have an easy night against him, like the post I was responding to suggested.

It shows how weak Wilder's resume is for a major title holder generally ranked in the top 5 of his division when someone who already fell short at EBU level twice and has no wins of note other than an MD over Charr will be one of his best opponents. Even the Charr win doesn't look so hot now that Briedis KTFO'd him.

he probably would do it to fight Wilder, they also could have contacted him months ago to figure this out, it's not like Wilders date vs an unknown opponent is hugely important and set in stone. If they wanted to fight a month later or whatever they could have.

Tired of the excuses for Wilder. This is absolutely unacceptable for a "champion" to fight this kind of caliber opponent, especially considering he just fought Molina in his first title defense.
