Comments Thread For: Wilder: Parker Should Forget About May 6th, Fight Me in July

[AddiX]

Youve been under a rock? Haymon has been making great matchups lately...And Wilder is an ambitious man...Haymon or not.

Have you not watched boxing in the last 6 months?

Haymon only started making good fights because his ratings on PBC and Showtime have mostly been in the gutter.

I agree he's made good fights recently, but that's far from the norm.

Parker is going to fight in May - he's been through a full camp and isn't going to waste that. Which makes a unification call out for 8 weeks later a bit unrealistic. But Wilder already knows this.

August makes a lot more sense for everyone, but that's obviously not Wilder's prepared route.

Why does every Wilder "callout" have to come with obvious flaws?

Anyway, let's get it on. Somehow.

Exactly, this July date is unrealistic and Wilder knows it hence the callout for that month. People seem to think Parker can just cancel May 6th are muppets. Duco have a venue booked, tickets sold, stacked undercard. They would lose a **** load of money if the May 6th event can't happen. People seem to think it's as easy as cancelling. But anyway this is Wilder's technique that's served him so well over the years. If he's actually serious then that's great but he knows July aint happening. I would say September bare minimum if at all.

the folks who question Wilders resume need to remember that he had no control over Povetkin

Wilder has had almost 40 fights, and we're still talking about the lack of quality opponents on his resume. Stop giving him a pass! How many fights does an elite fighter need before his team put him in against other top fighters? Not 40 fights. By comparison, Joshua has had half-as-many fights, and he's already fighting Klitschko. His team obviously has more confidence in him than Wilder's team does in their man.

Hope Parker steps up to the challenge. I didn't even know he got a title. That is bs. It should be the winner of Joshua-Parker. Nothing against Parker, but him facing Andy Ruiz for a belt is beyond ridiculous.

Still, Parker is going to milk his title. Doesn't matter what Wilder wants, Parker isn't going to fight him and then the winner of Saturday's fight will have to make a mandatory and Wilder will have to fight Stiverne again. And everyone will keep hating on Wilder for the rest of this year. Perfect world, Parker fights Wilder the winner faces Joshua-Klitschko winner and Povetkin fights a bear on a unicycle with no PED testing.

I just went through every single post you made and you were all for this fight 4 months ago. Now you sound like a whinny bi.tch now that there's a possibility of it happening. Just admit you're scared then go outside and play.

They don't want Wilder to fight the guys they like.

What are you talking about?

They could easily fight in July. 8 weeks is the perfect time, but if it's too early, make it late July! a small break then a 6 week training camp, fight in Vegas. Easy.

I don't get why you're criticising Wilder here. If Parker's team think it's too early they have the opportunity to say that we'd prefer August or whatever.

You're criticising Wilder when he's done what everyone wanted here, PLUS he's willing to pay Stiverne step-aside money which is pretty good of him.

Phuc it Wilder should fly to NewZeland in 2 weeks and take that May date. Go get that hardware it's not like your last fight with Washington was a war. Only in a perfect world doe.
