    Why doesn't Wilder give his opponents time to train?

    Ortiz fight announced 12th Jan. Fight on March 3rd. 6 weeks training camp for old man Ortiz.

    Stiverne 2 fight announced October 5th. Fight on November 4th. 4 week training camp for old man Stiverne.

    Washington fight announced January 30th. Fight on February 25th. 4 week camp for bum Washington.

    Arreola fight announced 13th June. Fight on 16th July. 5 week training camp for fat Arreola.

    Szpilka fight announced 8th December. Fight on January 16th. 5 week camp for bum Szpilka.

    Duahapas fight announced 20th August. Fight on September 26th. 5 week camp for Frenchman Duahapas.

    Molina fight announced May 14th. Fight on 13th June. 4 week camp for bum Molina.


    Do I need to go on? Why does Wilder not give fighters time for a full training camp? On average it's a month. It's bad enough that they are bums already but then to short change them like that?

    Is he afraid of in shape fighters? I think he stalls fight negotiations and begins his own camp whilst leaving lesser backed fighters no option but to wait until the fight is signed (as they cannot afford training costs without guaranteed income).

    Heavyweight is different than other weight classes, you don't have to be as strict about your weight or training.
    I also don't feel sorry for dudes, boxing is an't a game, it's a life style..if you are keeping yourself in decent shape even when you aren't fighting, that training camp time isn't a big deal. Also you're forgetting that these fighters know before hand that the fight is happening before it is officially announced.

      If you're a professional fighter then honestly that should be plenty of time, especially at heavyweight where making weight isn't really a concern. Besides it's not like Wilder is getting any more training in than the other guy. If the other guy's less professional and needs a longer camp to get in shape because he doesn't stay disciplined in between fights that's not Wilder's problem.

        He was certainly struggling with an old man with high blood pressure last time out, and Stiverne was in awful shape despite the hype. Wouldn't mind to see Wilder fight a good quality young heavyweight, or at least one whos not ill.

          I'd just like to have seen Wilder against any of these guys with a 8 or 9 week camp and then see how good they are and whether they could stand up to his power better.

          We all know conditioning can help punch resistance.

            Boxers work and train for fights before they're announced all of the time. Just like an Actor can be working on a film before it's announced and given a date. Plus i'm sure one of them was a last minute replacement fight.

              Donkey Wilder is a fraud and will cheat just to get a win, fake champion who is failing to sell his belt, his master Finkel must be disappointed of him

                I believe Stiverne II and Washington were last minute replacements.

                There might have been others, but I believe those two were replacements for sure.
