Deontay Wilder- I'm in agreement with the board's consensus.

... he needs a tough fight. He may be able to go straight to an eliminator or title fight in his next time out. I think the current crop of guys is just not enough for him to be able to compete.

In his last six fights he only fought for 13 rounds out of all of them combined.

I don't feel they should bring Wilder back to the public unless it is against a live guy where he can compete strongly- with a tough guy in front of him.

... and there are options out there, Wilder is a little name to himself now, people want to see him fight and bang. So, they can find the money for him to get a good fight.

I think anyone in the HW division with half a brain would take a Wilder fight for $150 grand or so. I would.

Word to Jennings, Arreola, Ruiz, Pulev, Thompson, Povetkin, Fury, Chisora, Scott, Adamek, Chambers, Boystov, et al... a fight with Wilder for $150 G's ain't a bad. Because, at the end of the day, you HAVE to fight. Take it.


p.s.

Word on the streets is that Wilder was VERY frustrated in the Haye camp in Haye's preparation for Tyson Fury. Word has it that while he's good with tremendous power and speed, when faced with an elite or semi-elite fighter like a Haye and above, he can't turn it up, loses his balance and backs away and then starts to grab and hold.

We will monitor this.
