Comments Thread For: Wilder: Gerald Washington 'Definitely Not' Ready for This Fight

[iamboxing]

Of course he's not ready, that's why he was picked. Seriously, I could beat Wilder.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Did you really suggest Washington is a better opponent than ortiz? Jesus Christ I've read some crazy **** on this board but this is just insane!!

That's not what I said

That's not what I said

So what did you say? Lol

Washington will easily out box Wilder over 12 rounds, there's no way Wilder can win on points he has to get lucky but remembering how Mansour landed several left hands without Washington even feeling it I doubt Wilder will be able to hurt Washington

Ok but what about the judges? its in Birmingham, Alabama

Ortiz is a walking fat body

Ortiz is a walking fat body

What is the meaning or significance of that if he's still a much better better fighter than Washington??

You gave that as a reason as to why Wilder's selection of Washington was justified, it's not. What you could have said is that Ortiz is too dangerous to be fighting on such short notice, that's the truth and in all honesty, it's a fair point.

Ortiz was never a viable option on short notice. He has promotional issues.

He does not have any promotional issues, he is promoted by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom boxing.

I have no doubts that Hearn would make the fight if it was presented. He's done business with Haymon on other occasions, Hearn would not mind sending Ortiz to get the job done on Wilder.

Then why fight him? Why doesn't he just fight fighters that are ready?
