Re: Wilder vs Arreola
We, as dumb ass fans, don't know the inside story about who was available and who would take the fight on such short notice? You can throw out any name you want to sound smart, but the fact is that some won't take it on short notice, and who knows what money they are offering. I'm sorry, but some of you guys are such fornicating idiots. Criticize without knowing even half of the facts.pound per pound wrote:Word. It's not like we are asking Wilder to fight Ortiz or Parker.

I'm rooting for Arreola to expose Wilder for the fraud he is. Why not? A real champion does not keep selecting top 20-40 opponents for title matches. My bad, Arreola isn't even in the top 40 at Box Rec. He's ranked 45th in the world and was down in a NC fight and drew with a journeyman recently.
Re: Wilder vs Arreola
Can you say for a fact that the guys you mentioned were offered and accepted the fight? Do you know what kind of money they were offered? Did they turn the fight down?gilgamesh wrote:Bryant Jennings, Gerald Washington, or Andy Ruiz Jr weren't available?

I'm giving up on Wilder. It's clear he has no interest taking on a legitimately ranked top ten opponent. Even by WBC standards
Re: Wilder vs Arreola
I don't figure they were offered the fight. Wilder was happy to reach for the low hanging fruit I'm sure. He has no interest in testing himself.Badhusker wrote:Can you say for a fact that the guys you mentioned were offered and accepted the fight? Do you know what kind of money they were offered?

Re: Wilder vs Arreola
You just act like such bullshit is going on, but in fact even Shannon Briggs fighting for free was even not good enough and too risky for Wilder and his team.Badhusker wrote:We, as dumb ass fans, don't know the inside story about who was available and who would take the fight on such short notice?

Re: Wilder vs Arreola
Breazeale beats Arreola every day.. All day.. It doesn't mean he isn't a crude oaf. He's more oafish than Arreola. He'd do it the way he did Mansour, by taking some vicious hits and swing big until he starts hitting something.. A guy who's 17-0, even if he only had 20 amateur fights, should begin to look like something. His stance and movement should be better and his punches should have greater range, with less effort, and be a be sharper. AJ is way ahead of his experience and Breazeale is way behind.

Washington was talked too, your other suggestions make no sense. You're trying to ruin poor Jennings.gilgamesh wrote:I don't figure they were offered the fight.

Got a feeling Washington wanted the fight.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Jennings? On 4 weeks notice and for a tiny payday? I think not.gilgamesh wrote:Bryant Jennings, Gerald Washington, or Andy Ruiz Jr weren't available? You don't gotta look too hard to do better than Arreola.Badhusker wrote:

Washington decided against it.
Ruiz is ass and with TR.
As much as Wilder's 'fans' want to pin this on him there was no way they were coming up with anything better with the budget and time frame.
He finished a family holiday early and started training just in case the call came.

Re: Wilder vs Arreola
I would have preferred that fight. I don't blog anymore so I frankly can't be bothered to dig deep for news, I just know there were discussions. Not sure where it went wrong,I heard it was Gerald(could have just been Al) not really a smart move for Washington though it has to be tempting with Wilder's limitations.PredatorHayds wrote:Got a feeling Washington wanted the fight.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Jennings?

Re: Wilder vs Arreola
He finished his holiday and started training. He made it known that if the call came he'd be ready.
You'd presume the call never came or negotiations between camps didn't work out well.
Still the way he actively pursued the opportunity at short notice impressed me.
