    There's always 1 guy who refuses to fight the best. For a long time it was the WBA title holders post lennox Lewis: Evander Holyfield, John Ruiz, Roy Jones Jr., John Ruiz, James Toney (didn't get to keep the belt), John Ruiz/Nicolai Valuev, Ruslan Chagaev (had belt stolen from him), Nicolai Valuev, and then FINALLY David Haye won it and decided to fight Wladimir after Wladimir had already just thrashed Ruslan Chagaev who was the rightful owner of the belt.

    But yeah the WBC belt has fallen into the same circumstance post Vitali. Bermane Stiverne, Deontay Wilder. It's early in Wilder's reign but Molina, Duhaupas, and Szpilka don't really inspire much respect for a guy holding a belt.

    Watch Szpilka upset him lol

    I like wilder and he's exciting but this should be the last soft title defense.

    I actually think spilka is a decent fight for him and a definite step up. If he wins though, he needs to fight the best available opponent next.

    It's embarrassing really. This self styled "Booooooooomb Squad!!" And he's not even trying to fight anyone decent. Still if you look at champions in all the divisions, he's not doing anything out of the ordinary. They all do it.

    The question is can the real King Kong withstand the BOMB SQUAD!?

    Will the bombs detonate or just bounce off his chest as he scales the Empire State Building?

    Wilders defense is horrendous but this is a decent opponent for him. That said Jennings got to him first and battered him. Rival sanctioning Ibf farce title fight on the same card with Martin vs Glazkov? Wilders next opponent may be closer than we think.
