What reign? He's a title holder trying to work is way to the top.
It's funny how Wilders biggest critics consider him an actual champion while the more level headed folks can actually distinguish between a champion and a title holder.

He's an ABC titleholder. There's like dozens of them currently. He had a good win v. Stiverne. He was willing to fight Pov in Russia, which I respect. Other than that, yeah his resume is meh.
He does need to tighten up his technique. Right now, the top dogs at HW will beat him IMO. I would probably have picked Pov to beat him, although Pov has a unique ability to turn fights where he should win into competitive ones.
We'll see w/ Wilder. He doesnt really deserve to have showcases televised on premium cable, but boxing loves American HWs, even if they arent world beaters.

You aren't always ready when opportunity comes, but a guy like Wilder goes for it anyway and improves as he goes. Bravo to him, even if he needs work. I'm sure he'd love to fight Fury. Give him the opportunity to fail, then go ahead and mock him if that's how you get your kicks. Making multiple hate threads about a guy who was ballsy enough to go to Russia for his mandatory just makes you look like an angry, small minded person.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostPeople acting like it's Wilder's fault that fighters are failing PED tests for their scheduled fights with him. Povetkin would've been his best win but you get the feeling like even though Povetkin is a serial PED user, he still gets a pass. If it was Wilder who was failing PED tests we all know Wilder would never hear the end of it. I remember seeing posters calling Wilder a coward for not fighting Povetkin following his failed drug test. What a world we live in.
Wilder has had 2 years to fight someone with a pulse and has yet to do so. He's had 5-6 fights. Povetkin was scheduled ONCE.

BTW, yes it's been a weak run, absolutely. Hopefully he steps up soon. Maybe Povetkin will stop roiding and they can fight. I think Wilder can redeem himself if he fights the winner of Wlad-Joshua, which I think is very likely. In the meantime Pulev or Ortiz would've been nice though.
