Why are people happy with wilder fighting washington?

[Boxtime]

His first fight back from a broken hand against a fighter on short notice..might be even better then the original opponent..

Khan has had a similiar injury, but would get ridiculed for taking a tune up fight.

People on here expecting Wilder to fight unification fights after this bout...like they have after every bum he's faced.

This thread has been really good for a laugh.

You need two people to make a fight man. Fury was ahem "busy" for awhile and AJ brings Wlad huge cash..

Excuses, excuses. I've been hearing about wilder v Wlad since before Fury fought him, I've been hearing that Wilder v Ortiz/AJ/what ever other heavyweight name is needed to sell a bum opponent, for the last 2+ years.

Its not happening unless he is forced into it.

I think that's the most likely path going forward. I expect Wilder to push for a Parker (or Hughie Fury) fight hard after their next fights so that he can hit the Joshua unification (which I expect to be at MSG or MGM Grand Garden) for all the belts..

Ok. Poster Boxtime just made a thread indicating foreign fighters get taxed hard in England so maybe Vegas makes more sense for Joshua/Wilder.

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.

I know, it's sad really, and he was on some tv documentary thing saying he walks down the streets and no one recognises and the HW championship is not what it used to be....your fault!

Wawrzyk at least fought Povetkin and Sosnowski. This Washington whatever fought only nobodies.

Lmao Sosnowski??? Really?

In that case Washington fought Ray Austin and Eddie Chambers, at least those guys have been top 10 heavies at one point or another.

Nobody is saying Washington is a great choice but we are at least pleased that he's better than the original, we were all worried about who Wilder would select to stand in for Warwzyk.

But seriously speaking Wilder has to step it up after this fight, enough is enough.... no more excuses or justifying less than stellar opponents. Right now His resume is TRASH!!

If Wilder's resume is TRASH then Joshua's is toxic medical waste.

AJ just fought one of Wilder's leftovers

Ortiz just went the distance with a guy Wilder stopped in one round.

Not a bad plan. I see it playing out as Joshua/Ortiz then wilder/parker then Joshua/Wilder (assuming both win)-in either England or MSG.

Then the winner gets Fury for a huge money fight.

Wilder dont fight guys with PED history, why an exception for Fists of Fluff Doping Furry ?

You must be really critical of GGG's opposition.

He had a chance to fight Mora on HBO but chose Adama off TV

He picked Monroe Jr from a list of 3 including Torreano Johnson and Sebastian Heiland.

GGG chose the guy with 6 KO's

I don't understand this, I'm exceptionally critical of GGG's choices of opponents, last year he fought Brook and Wade, the year before Lemiuex and Rubio, that by my estimation is four absolutely terrible opponents, go through my post history I clearly used to be a staunch supporter, now I've lost interest !
