Deontay Wilder vs. Eric Molina

[p4pking]

Thompson, Arreola. A name that someone has heard of. This makes his team look timid.
I would've called out Antonio Tarver. GREAT name, past it a bit. Decent but not devastating power.
Even lateef Kayode is a better pick.
Just an awful decision.

Deontay hasn't grown into fighting the big names yet, he's at the shouting stage right now.
I do think Molina is a decent choice because of his size. Wilder needs to fight nothing but big guys until he gets his chance at Wald or he is forced to fight Wlad.
Thompson and Fury, both like to grapple some like Wlad, so they would be good choices.

No.... no.... and HELL no.

I'm one of Wilder's fans and want him to go on to great things. Hopefully meet and beat Wlad someday before Wlad retires. But we all spent years and countless fights waiting for Wilder to move up, and he finally did.... versus Stiverne. Now he's going to take 10 steps back?? C'mon now! Say it ain't so, Deontay. In boxing you move forward.... not take one step forward and two back. If I'm gonna be critical of Wlad's choice of opponents, which I am, and very often..... I can't be hypocritical and ignore Wilder's choice of opponent post-Stiverne. And to those who say Wilder deserves a soft spot after a tough battle with Stiverne..... NAY. These soft spots are earned after numerous tough fights/wars, usually by a veteran fighter who you can't begrudge his getting that soft spot on his schedule.

I agree, its surely a dumb move from his camp. Aside from who has earned what, the fact is Wilder still needs experience fighting quality guys and going rounds. It's not as if he took much damage against Stiverne, that was only a tough fight for him because it went 12, he should be looking to build and improve on that, which he clearly can't do against opponents like this.
