Why hasn't Deontay Wilder faced the following boxers in his pro career so far?

[Mr Objecitivity]

It's funny, I said the same thing about Vitally Klitschko, yet many consider him and ATG.


Why did Vittles never fight these top 10 fighters when they were actually top 10 fighters?

Holyfield
Grant
Moorer
Briggs
Ibeabuchi
Tua
Golota
Rahman
Maskeav
Ruiz
Oquendo
McCline
Toney
Jones
Barrett
Brewster
Chagaev
Povetkin
Ibragimov
Valuev
Dimetrenko
Chambers
Boystov
Thompson
Haye
Helenius
Pulev
Fury

There are 28 top fighters here Vits didn't fight for one reason or another. Why did he skip out on fighting so many of the best?

Because Vitali Klitschko was a part time boxer. This isn't about Vitali Klitschko but about Deontay Wilder. Please don't drift away from the topic.

seems like you are biased and have a strict agenda

[Boksfan]

In no PARTICULAR order:

1) Kubrat Pulev

2) Bryant Jennings

3) Wladimir Klitschko

4) Vitali Klitschko

5) Mariusz Wach

6) Jarrell Miller

7) Carlos Takam

8) Dillian Whyte

9) Dominic Brezeale

10) Andy Ruiz Jr

11) Tyson Fury

12) Hughie Fury

13) David Haye

14) Dereck Chisora



These are ALL the BEST heavyweight boxers available that were in the top 10 at some point during their careers. They are also the best available heavyweight boxers based on them having the best win/loss ratios out of their career records. Their resume is also the best with all of their opponent's win/loss ratio being the best.

So the excuse that no quality heavyweight exists for Deontay Wilder except 3 or 4 heavyweights to fight against is only that, an excuse, a myth and is totally false!

Even if we exclude the following 3 'drug cheats' who failed drug tests:

1) Alexander Povetkin

2) Luis Ortiz

3) Andrzej Wawrzyk


There are AT LEAST 14 other top quality opponents available for Deontay Wilder to face. What excuse does Wilder have of not facing them? That's right, NOTHING!

If the ABSOLUTE BEST POSSIBLE OPPONENTS like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are unavailable. Then he could face the next best available / possible opponents such as the boxers out of the list I mentioned. Instead, Wilder chooses to fight lower ranked opponents with inferior win/loss ratios out of their career records and with inferior resumes.


The only other decent opponents he has faced are:

1) Bermane Stiverne

2) Johan Duhapas

3) Chris Arreola

4) Gerald Washington


Out of the number of bouts he has had, that's a horrible resume / level of opposition he has faced for one of the TOP heavyweights in the world and for a heavyweight champion.

Deontay Wilder has been PROVEN to be a relatively UNPROVEN FRAUD!

He is under protection from WBC and cherry picking?

[travestyny]

I thought the name of the game was "What have you done for me lately." He just fought Luis Ortiz and he's calling for Anthony Joshua and has hinted at coming down from 50/50. Can't we just hope that fight comes off next instead of worrying about the past?

[JAB5239]

Because Vitali Klitschko was a part time boxer. This isn't about Vitali Klitschko but about Deontay Wilder. Please don't drift away from the topic.

He had 47 professional fights. It's seems some want to pick and choose who to admonish yet turn a blind eye to a fighter who did the exact same thing yet to a greater extant.

And this isn't going off topic. One directly correlates to the other.

Deontay Wilder has been PROVEN to be a relatively UNPROVEN FRAUD!

Klitschkos retired

Jennings lost to Ortiz who Wilder beat

Hughie turned down a fight

Tyson has been in no condition to fight

Chisora a nobody and Coming off a embarrassing loss

Haye is coming off a loss and would rather make bigger $ with lower risk with a Bellew rematch

Ruiz disappeared for a year and a half and hasn’t beaten anyone of substance

If he fought Breazeale, White , Takam everyone will say it’s AJ leftovers


That leaves Miller , Whyte , Wach , Takam

[Tyistall]

I've been saying it since the jump but all of Wilder's fans never answer the questions. They just repeat what Wilder is saying even though Wilder is saying it, just to get his career payday. He has 2 credible opponents our of 40 fights...2. Yet somehow AJ, who has been fighting guys in the top 20 for a couple years now, is somehow ducking him?? How do you duck one fighter, but go off and unify more belts? That doesn't make sense at all. AJ is ducking Wilder but he fights Klitschko, Breazeale, Takam, Pulev (before he pulled out), and other fighters that Wilder never fought??? Come on man, Wilder and his fans need to get real.

[Rockybigblower]

Vitali - retired
Wlad - busy cashing out with AJ then retiring
Tyson Fury - suspended
Hughie Fury - busy with Parker and a not even in the argument anyways
Takam - busy with both Parker and AJ
Brezeale - mommas boy busy with AJ
Andy Ruiz - busy with Parker
Whyte - busy with AJ and Browne
David Haye - broken toe, shoulder, achilles etc
Jarrell Miller - fair enough

[N/A]

How do you duck one fighter, but go off and unify more belts?

By ducking the top belt to go after the worst belt?

[LacedUp]

Probably 80% of them down to money.

But Wilder never wanted Klitschko. That much we do know.
