is 2017 the year wilder fights someone legitimate?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

is danny jacobs not legitimate?

I didn't realize that fight was already made! My bad!

****ing lol.

Neither molina or duhapaus were in ANY top 10 rankings when wilder fought them, yet when they get a semi decent win a year later to move into the rankings, you use this to justify and pretend wilder fought top 10 guy's.

In summary, you are complete imbecile.

you're resorting to name calling because the facts aren't on your side.

from 2015-2016, wilder defeated two guys in TBRB's current top 10. no other heavyweight can say that.

so if his level of opposition is so terrible, why is it better than anybody else?

can you name a current TBRB top 10 heavyweight with a more impressive 2015-2016 resume?

It's hilarious all the guy's making thousands of posts/threads about GGG are defending wilder and his level of opposition.

One is just a champ. The other gets called the greatest mw of all time LOL

Fat chance of that.

anyone changed their opinion? i certainly havent...

As the title suggests, will wilder fight someone worth fighting in 2017? Or are we looking at more opponents like chris arreola,johann duhuapus, jason gavern next year?

The better question is the next time Wilder signs to fight someone legitimate, will that fighter not get afraid and cheat by using PED's so the fight is cancelled?

Gerald Washington is a strong young champion. 19 have tried and 19 have failed so he must be doing something right. Deontay Wilder can't overlook no opponent.

ANYONE wilder beat at HW in 2014-2015 outside of wlad or Haye you all would label them a bum either way. how many people can start boxing in their 20s and become good enough to be a champ????? how can u defend GGeeG yet sh-!t on wilder????? it makes no sense. and stop bringing up Lemiux and stevens as legit wins as a matter of fact just STFU and stop making these threads, nobody is saying wilder is a HOFer and ATG like u all do geeGG, they both are exciting and do what they are supposed to do with who is in front of them.

I really doubt it. We're starting off with Gerald Washington. We'll get another bum or two. Now in 2018, I think his time might be up, but given the Povetkin scandal, he can ride that a while.

Wilder is just not that good. Just rewatch his title fights and look how much trouble gave him average boxers like Molina, Szpika, Duhaupas..I think Wilder has very little chance to beat Klitchko, Fury, Povetkin or Joshua.

I think this is a good point. Wlad would have beaten Wilder's opposition, but it wouldn't have even been close. They wouldn't have touched him, especially in his prime which I'm guessing is where Wilder is at. Wilder fought nobody before he got the title. He fought a decent heavyweight to get it and has fought nobody since outside of used up Arreola who'd already taken beatings from Vitali and Stiverne. Joshua, Parker, Wlad, Ortiz or any other true contender is who I want to see him in with. I'm not pointing fingers or laying blame on any one factor preventing this. I just want to see it get done. Until these guys fight each other, none of these showcase fights mean a damn thing.
