Who the fcuk is Gerald Washington?

[BoxingFan85]

why? Hasn't he had nothing but passes since becoming a "champ"? Where did this mentality come from? Giving fighters passes.

He deserves every bit of criticism for his opponents since winning the title and it is fair.. just this one fight he needs a tuneup to test his arm after surgery..
I'm not a Wilder fan Chief! In case you had me confused with Kigali..

Never heard of him either, can only boxrec and YT him. Isn't he a replacement for someone who failed a drug test against Wilder (again)?

Wilder better not take this unknown lightly though. He's 6'6", nice reach, doesn't look like a fat American HW. Chambers and Mansour look like his best wins. Wilder better go in there and handle business, don't good around and get caught or outboxed.

A dude that didn't test positive for PEDs so gets the opportunity of a lifetime by manning up and taking a fight on short notice. Much respect to clean fighters who don't need to cheat to gain the upper hand.

mansour looks like a draw according to boxrec

heres a recap: Washington came into the fight with a reputation for gassing out after 5 rounds, and he lived up to that reputation tonight by fading after 4.

Washington appeared to lose the last 6 rounds of the fight due to his running, holding and low punch output.

Believe it or not he is better than the average Wilder title challenger. He is a step up in quality for Wilder.I think Boxrec has him 20th in the world. The average guy Wilder defends his title against in his back yard is ranked about 45th in the world. Given his careful choice of challengers Wilder may be the WBC world heavyweight champion for many years.

At least he's not an American fat **** who's a HW just because HW is the only weight class that let's him eat anything he wants. Looks like he at least tries to look like an actual fighter.

You dont have to look at boxrec just watch the fight. If a fighter has enough energy to dance he has energy to punch. Washington could have easily won,but gluided. He actually lost that fight by a rnd and lucked out but not because he was tired he got over confidant and stopped fighting and waited for rnd 10 to be over.

He only went past 5 rnds twice prior to ever going 10 rnds with Mansour ,not sure where he built that rep up tiring out after 4 rnds in 16 fights? Makes no sense.

Only the WBC ranks Washington in their top 15 at number 8. The WBA,IBF, and WBO don't rank him at all.
