    Why are people happy with wilder fighting washington?

    Is this how low expectations are for him? That as long as his opponent isnt completely useless you are happy with it? Washington is 20th in the world, is that really an acceptable ranking for a world title challenger? Didnt ortiz say he wanted the fight, what happened there? Ive never known such a shambolic list of opponents for a heavyweight champion in all my life, seems to be allergic to fighting anyone in the top 10.

        Geez man, it's not like people are popping champagne bottles, just saying Washington is a pretty solid fight for a guy coming off a serious injury. What's wrong with that? Plus the other contenders are busy at the moment..

              I didn't know that anyone was happy about it. I think it sucks but being that he's coming off some pretty serious injuries, I'm not going to trash the guy. If he doesn't take a decent fight this summer, then he should catch hell for it.

              The fact that AJ is facing Wlad should be good pressure on Deontay to fight a decent name.

                The pressure should be on those to fight Wilder.

                Stop acting like Wilder is ducking people.

                  This whole episode is sad for boxing and Wilder in general, he really need a good fighter across the ring from him, I would give him a pass at the moment because the Povetkin fight was NOT his fault. But he really needs to get a big fight this year. Hopefully he comes back well from his injury and he can have him back in the mix.
