Re: When will Deontay Wilder fight a worthy opponent?
Right now, Wilder's reminding me a bit of Faruq The Dream Saleem.
6'7" dude was undefeated, 37 wins, 32 KOs, but never did fight anyone of substance.
Finally lost, his 1st loss, and he retired.
His opponents had th most abysmal records you'd ever see.
Undefeated at 37 and 0 means nothing if you never fought anyone good.
The low level guys that Wilder is knocking over are not even good enough to learn anything from.
Re: When will Deontay Wilder fight a worthy opponent?
I don't think Wilder will go his entire career without fighting a live body. He's not Faruq Saleem or some bum just looking to keep his record spotless. I think given how raw he is he needs rounds and he needs to develop himself.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 2-3 more fights he's moving towards a showdown vs Wladimir.

Depends who he fights in those 2 or 3 more fights.

Re: When will Deontay Wilder fight a worthy opponent?
Wilder had a bit of a melt down on Twitter the other night and claimed that people like Frank Warren and Chisora weren't actually interested in making a fight with him but rather wanted to use his name as publicity
