    That you're another guy heckling him because it's a cheap opportunity to do so. He HAS fought a top 30 guy, and should be fighting his 2nd, but that guy was so inadequate he had to dope.
    You guys are wanking yourselves over Wilder taking a keep busy fight. "Look! Look! Look what he did!!" As if he wasn't supposed to be fighting one of the most dangerous fighters in the division.

    I'm not even a fan of the guy but I'm even less a fan of this kind of foolishness.

      So???
      Technically he will be when he fights Aerreola, who got a disgraceful #9 ranking. realistically, I think his next fight.

      Be clear, you can't blame Wilder for Povetkin cheating but you can blame him for choosing Aerreola instead of a better opponent.

        People hype Wilder for no reason. That's what I try to tell here. And he had 3 silly defenses before Povetkin.

          I am not talking alphabet rankings at all. They are useless.

          And I don't blame for Wilder for the Povetkin fiasco and I don't blame him for taking a replacement opponent at short notice. My point is just the bottom line which is that he hasn't faced anyone worth anything.

                Aereola was top 30 in 2013 when Stiverne beat him and arguably was in the rematch in 2014 after beating Mitchell. come on bat..

                  Two of those three defense are looking better with time as both are ranked in the top 20 and remember that Povetkin requested a tuneup with Wach but in reality he was trying to cycle the peds out of his system.

                    Charles Martin was a top 10 HW and a world champion. That's the level of opposition you want to see Wilder face? :lo1:


                    Let's stop pretending that he was going to fight Povetkin until the scumbag drug cheat got caught trying to gain an advantage because he didn't feel he could beat Wilder cleanly.

                      never. haymon isnt interested in his fighters fighting anyone other than can's.

                      why would he?

                      He can just line both their pockets doing 'title' defence after defence agaisnt high schooler teachers like eric molina and the ******s will buy that schit.

                      The day he does he gets ICED. and we all know it.
