Wilder should have fought Vitali Klitschko

Wilder fraud career would have ended in 2012 if he fought Vitali. Haymon and Winkel knew wilder would have been KTFOUT

Good thing some of you guys aren’t managers. Wilders team did a great job with his limited skill set. Made him a multi millionaire and 5 year WBC heavyweight champion.

Agreed. As boxing fans we haven't had the fights we wanted, but if we did then Wilder would never have been built into what he was.

Same goes for all fighters I suppose, but Wilder was a pretty extreme example.

The only suprising bit is how many bought into it. Knowledgeable boxing people had him as a great champion and were rating his ability. And now they don't.

A loss to Fury shouldn't move the needle that much.

vitali would have destroyed wilder, he would have KO'ed him bad

Wilder is a promotional project to net money from the US fans who are suckered by the nationalism and KO percentage

The guy himself is not an elite heavyweight. Yet he has defences of a title and made money. Clever promotional manoeuvring considering how limited the guy is. It’s crazy how many people can’t see it, just look at how poor the resume is

I don't understand how getting KOed by Wlad would help Wilder and make him more respected. I don't think it would.
