Boxingscene Boxer of the Month for September 2015

[The Hammer]

you said the criteria was "quality opposition". all of these opponents fail to meet this criteria.

duahapas, while not ranked when he fought wilder, was much less of an underdog than either Monroe, pineta or mohammedi were even though they were ranked and/or the mandatory. that wilder got a bruised or swollen eye has no bearing.

I am being objective. I am using your criteria and your past lists to show objectively why Wilder should be a choice.

Additionally, I am using the fact he was in the 2nd biggest FOTM and had the most viewers, thus showing he meets your other criteria of "major fights". even though we agree wilder is not a great fighter.

Seeing this, the question becomes why list the others as choices but not Wilder when they all meet the requirements you established?

It wasn't really a big fight.

EVERYBODY knew who was going to win.

Duhaupas was as much of an underdog as any of those you mentioned, because he is even more lightly regarded than they were. For example, compare his pathetically plodding footwork to Monroe's and Caparello's.

He was chosen because he's weak. There were MANY heavyweights (Povetkin, Jennings, Browne, Mansour, etc) who wanted a shot at Wilder, but were seen by Deontay's management as too dangerous.

Mohammedi was chosen because he was mandatory. Stevens and Caparello were chosen because they were arguably the best who were available and willing.

Nobody is ducking Wilder - everybody wants a crack at him.

Babou Jack had a very good first defense and he past with flying colors, so IMO he is the fighter of the month.

Keep the votes coming.

There were fewer voters than usual because of the slow month for boxing in September.
