Wilder doesn't take challenges? Stop hating
I could see Usyk outboxing Wilder for rounds but getting caught by the 8th after trying a combination.

Tua beats Haye, not sure Haye chin would hold up
the rematch that should have never happened..prolly castillo's last notable victory before the decline and struggle wins..even though he was overweight
It's just not the same without the slow motion close up. Lol.
Then a young fresh Ricky Hatton came and stopoped Castillo then dedicated it to Chico with his widow in attendance.

How is he wrong? He's calling him out as he should. All boxing fans should demand this fight. Fans who put on their promoter hat and trying to make reasons why this fight shouldn't happen instead of why it should can
I prefer to stay the fan of the sport instead of a promoter/network/manager
All these people demanding this fight won't even pay for the PPV, that is why Crawford is only doing 100K buys if that. If the money was there it would have happened already. Spence is doing his part to make it a bigger fight so both guys make more money by fighting the top guys on his side behind the FOX marketing machine.
Don't nobody care about Crawford's next fight. He should go after a guy like Jessie Vargas at least he has some name recognition and has faced some top guys at 147. Spence got a whole lot of options at 147 and 154.

It was only a matter of time... Some guys from that Flint crew around Shields and the Dirrells can't get a hold on themselves, Leon Lawson sucker punched Uzi and now this dude who's maybe Shields' borther sucker punched Bashir. It's gonna keep happening if they don't cut some of these dudes from their entourages. No other entourages are so fukkery prone in boxing nowadays than this Flint one, not at the big stage at least.
Throughout his career he's consistently cherry picked opponents and tried to get them when they're vulnerable. He's never had a unification fight in his whole career. He has 1 decent victory against an aging Ortiz, now he's fighting an even older Ortiz again after he's already knocked him out. Course he doesn't take tough challenges, his record speaks for itself. Look how many fights he's had and the wins on his record, it's embarrassing. He rejected 120 mil deal to fight AJ when he was undefeated. Rejected a career high pay day to fight Whyte, wanted no parts of Wlad when they were both champion at the same time. He tried to cherry pick an out of shape Fury and most people thought he lost even then. It's like he stole the belt and hid rather than be a fighting champion. I rate him as a fighter because he's entertaining and has a great punch and even in some was his lack of being conventional is a strength, however think it's disgraceful the way he's gone about his reign hoarded the belt and cherry picking opponents. It's bad for boxing. He's rejected multiple career high paydays for challenges. The fact he rejected 120 mil deal says it all, that's more money for 3 fights than he would have made in his whole career, actions speak louder than boastful words. He may be capable of meeting the challenges but he's ducked them and robbed and conned the fans with bullshyt. Wilder could be a living legend right now, imagine if he'd boxed Wlad and beat him, boxed AJ and beat him, boxed Fury and beat him. He had the opportunity to try it all and be the undisputed champion ages ago but he rejected that opportunity. This could have been undisputed Wilder's era and he could be taking on all challengers and building an incredible legacy as 1 of the greatest of all time. He would even have a claim as the greatest if he pushed himself and took challenges, but he's not acted like a true champion and ducked and ducked. Which is why there is so much uncertainty, he's wasted so much time. If he gets beat now he will go down in history much lesser than he would if he had been undisputed already. That would have made him a legend. His resume is terrible for his age, it's abysmal. At this point I I don't even know if he's gonna be able to pick it up, he could fight a few big names but there's other good challengers coming up and not sure he's gonna actually fight them. We should have seen a lot of the big and key fights already and now should be seeing him against fresh new completion coming up, but he acted like a scared fighter instead of a champion. It's a shame, a champion is supposed to act with courage and heart not cherry pick like that.

Wilder is a great champion whom fought a fighter in Ortiz that the other big names were scared to face. Then fought the undefeated ex lineal champion. Now he's fighting the guy that gave him his most grueling dangerous fight in a highly anticipated rematch. Joshua said (verbatim) give me 50 mill and I'll fight you. Wilder's people gathered the money and Joshua puss'd out. Which ultimately didn't work out for him cause he got ko'd by the newly inked PBC client with a lesser name. Wilder is a legend. "till this day" will be remembered as much as "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" or one of his more serious quotes.
