Deontay Wilder vs. Andrzej Wawrzyk

[punchoutsb]

Why are some of you guys so wound up about who Wilder is fighting anyway? Most here think he is just an over-rated, raw, chinny guy with chicken legs, that was gifted the title anyway. He shouldn't matter to those of you that think that, unless you just like to bitch.

I'd guess for the same reason some people defend his honor like they were knights in his court; because both his believers and detractors would like to see him fight someone of worth to know who and what he is.

Peter Fury turned down an offer by Wilder, stating that Hughie needs more than 4 weeks to prepare. The fight is 7.5 weeks out. Hughie needs 8 so no fight. Peter needs some math lessons, and Hughie needs to grow a .pair

Wilder is the one that needs to grow a pair he's a "world champ" calling out a 20 year old prospect!

Exactly . . Hughie is barely better than Wawrzyk as an opponent right now.

Hughie would beat Wawrzyk easily.

Following his win over a 3-14 opponent Wawrzyk has moved from being out of the WBC's top 40 to 21st. He's still not top 15, but per WBC rules they can approve anyone with 2/3 of their board's support.

Duhaupas has also been mentioned, and while I still think he'd be a weak challenger (lost to Teper two fights ago and imo more of a good test for prospects like AJ and Parker) I prefer him to Hughie and Wawrzyk.

So he has to be top 15, unless he doesn't

Haymon fighters, Tarver, Cunningham and Spilzka are busy, Arreola looked poor, Brezeale and Washington are 25 and 36in WBC, so that pretty much leaves Wawrzyk unless he signs someone else DD

so that pretty much leaves Wawrzyk unless he signs someone else DD

Why not someone who has a chance of winning like Carlos Takam, Bryant Jennings, Mariusz Wach or Lucas Browne? Lucas has been calling Wilder out on twitter.

Or Wilder could have gone right to his mandatory Povetkin instead of making him wait.

Looks like it's Deontay Wilder vs. Johann Duhaupas.

Duhaupas would probably be the 2nd best opponent of Wilder's career, as sad as that is.
