Shelly Finkel in 2015 - "Wilder Will Not Be Rushed To Klitschko"

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32KOs) is still very much a work in progress, says his co-manager Shelly Finkel. After last Saturday's world title win over Bermane Stiverne, the hype began growing for a fight between Wilder and WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Finkel, who manages Wilder with Al Haymon and Jay Deas, also works closely with Klitschko.
He says there is no need to rush Wilder into big fights against the best of the division; that despite a world title he still needs time to grow and groom his skills.
“Look, (Wilder) is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News. “It's not the right thing yet. Give him a couple of fights, maybe bring something back to Alabama. Let him develop just like any other athlete. They don't take someone who is a great college prospect and throw him right in. And this kid is a great prospect.”

Massive LOL at the double standards and hypocrisy.

So the hate wagon bringing up old gossip now to make themselves feel better.

Come on man wilder was only 33-0 and 30 years old back then

Wasn’t this immediately after wilder broke his hand in the Stiverne fight? And Klitschko was trying to get his Mando Fury out the way.

Surely you see the irony here? This is not hate - it is highlighting massive hypocrisy.

Dude this has nothing to do with broken hands or mandatories. It is Finkel talking about Wilder in a general way about how they want to bring his career along and protect him.

There was nothing wrong with what he said here until about 3 days ago.

Lol, these guys are SO insecure. Instead of just being honest about what Hearn is doing with AJ, they say, "Look, this guy did it too!!"

Clearly you think avoiding another champ is uncool. So, you must think what Hearn is doing with AJ is is wrong.

Having an opinion one way or the other is OK, but FFS, stay consistent.

Where is the double standard? Wilder's team was honest. If Joshua's team was being honest, nobody would be complaining.
