Comments Thread For: Wilder's Promoter: We'd Consider Bellew, Parker is Top Choice

[Ake-Dawg]

They seem to be saying the right things concerning a fight with Bellew, but don't talk like that when a real heavy is mentioned in Ortiz.

Hmmm.

Ortiz brings neither a belt or money to the table. Why mention him? It's Ortiz job to earn a shot with the champ. Not the champs job to prove himself against an unproven challenger.

He just said he wants Parker

How is that a cherry pick..?

The ol Bob arum trick

"Our top choice is (insert decent contender) and also in the running is (obvious weak choice)

We all know there gunning for the weaker choice

Works every time

parker almost lost to that fat pig ruiz, hes useless.

But he has the belt...and according to your favorite fighter...that's all that matters. Getting the belts.

We don't know ****



Let's wait and see if Parker answers his phone.

That's where your focus should be.

How do you cherry pick a guy who called you out after beating one of the top guys in the division? Regardless of how he won...he won and called out Wilder. So it's a cherry pick if Parker isn't available and they take the money fight after the mando? You do realize they have to fight the mando if no Parker or Joshua/Klitschko right?

Lou's talking like he's calling shots when it comes to Wilder's career. smh. I guess you have to keep up appearances. You know life as "the HW Champ" has gotten bad when you got Tony Bellew calling you out.

Hardly surprising, this. Wilder's career is built on mismatches.

It would be nice to have a 'champ' that wanted to fight the BEST in the division.

Saw a few Bellew interviews today. In one he was talking as if retirement was most likely. I think he fights again because of the money that will be there but hopefully he has someone close to him with enough common sense to talk him away from facing Wilder/Parker. Hearn seemed to be the one most in favour of that. 'Yeah go on mate, I'm your good friend, but go earn me a few million quid taking a one-sided beatdown in your hometown'.

Haye should fight Glazkov next, just to see the odds on another leg injury happening.

[The Gambler1981]

Of course you consider that, big money in what should be an easy fight and with other big names at the weight being from the UK having a fight there and probably knocking a dude out cold is a wise investment of time.

Still don't see it happening for Wilder though, it is more likely to throw off his Parker plans than anything else.
