The WBC are a laughing stock at Heavyweight. So is Deontay Wilder. Agree or disagree?

As I said a while back, Deontay Wilder is a disgrace to a once prestigious belt.

Boxing as a whole is a joke. 157472997 titles in one weight class.

I don't like Ufc But I can see why it is taking over here in America.

Just doesn't make sense like. Deontay Wilder coming to the UK and putting in a very embarrassing performance on the commentary team. Just throwing random insights out there that had no real relation to the events that were unfolding. He says he wants the big fights and he wants Anthony Joshua. With your bum of the month record, what would be the next step? Apparently nobody wants to fight Luis Ortiz so why not give us that fight next? Anthony Joshua triumphing over Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder taking on the bogeyman of the division Luis Ortiz and then the impending return of the 'Gypsy King' Tyson Fury. What a mouth-watering prospect that would be. But no, of course, Deontay Wilder goes back to Alabama to slug it out with palookas.

No doubt, I don't like the UFC either but It seems that they are willing to give there fans the best fights available. You can't really ask for anymore than that. It looks like boxing Is attempting to do the same as It has been a very good year as far as fights are concerned and will get better In September.

As far as Wilder Is concerned, other than power, he has nothing going for him. Unless he Improves drastically, which Isn't likely, I would expect him to lose In his first true test.

The UFC argument is irrelevant. They have what, a roster of a couple of hundred active MMA fighters? They just get the most coverage and publicity out of all the MMA promotions. They're one of hundreds, maybe even thousands of promotions with their own champions. Look at the Conor McGregor situation. They left their mandatory challengers sitting twiddling their thumbs so they could go with the McGregor fights. There are genuine top MMA fighters in the UFC who aren't allowed near the titles.

The WBC was a laughingstock way before Wilder, they didn't need his help in that regard

**Derranged** · 05-12-2017, 08:13 AM

Its not Wilder's fault that the WBC ordered this fight and Wilder said he isn't interested in it anyway. Its clearly a waste of time.

How do they manage to make Bermane Stiverne the mandatory challenger for their World title? He hasn't fought since 14th November 2015; that's a longer absence than Tyson Fury. To make matters worse he'll be 39 time the fight comes around.

It is becoming more and more apparent they have some pact with Al Haymon to protect Deontay Wilder. It is the only explanation. What other explanation can be given for putting an inactive Stiverne over the likes of Luis Ortiz and Kubrat Pulev?

Having witnessed the spectacle of Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko, and talking loads of ish. How can Deontay go back to windmilling no hopers in Alabama? These people have no intention of testing themselves it seems. It's a mentality that they don't have complete confidence in their fighter.

A laughing stock is that **** in your Avi

I agree. Wilder has yet to defend his title against a top 10 or even a top 20 world rated heavyweight. The WBC also had washed up, unranked Guerrero fighting Danny Garcia for their vacant welterweight title.

The WBC are a laughing stock at Heavyweight. So is Deontay Wilder. Agree or disagree?
