They want Parker because Wlad-AJ winner is not immediately available. AJ-Wlad have a rematch clause built in with a mandatory waiting after that.

Well, I still think Hughie/Parker would be by far his best opponend yet.

If they knew something about boxing they'd probably also laugh when you told them that the champ's best challenger could hardly win a round against Bryant Jennings, and that in almost 9 years and 40 fights pro he's fought a single consensus top 10 opponent.

Chisora is very arguably better than anyone Wilder's faced.

If you showed the same person any portion of wlad/fury and told them it was the two best in the world they would be even more shocked.

Szpilka was far from the best challenger - and they carried him out on a stretcher.. Poor going for somebody good who came in with a wild hook and got murdered with one shot.. But he was better than Alfredo Evangelista at any rate.

I just heard Deontay Wilder and his people attacked Breazeale and his family last night.


Sad, but most likely true, knowing Wilder and knowing how Wilder and his team treated Povetkin and his team for example.
On top of that, Deontay Wilder attacked a woman as well a few years ago, appearantly Wilder and his team are very violent and maffia ish behind the scenes.

Who was the best challenger? Molina? Duhaupas? Washington?

Some murderer's row there!

Then who was a better challenger Wilder ever had? Nowadays Duhaupas perhaps, who wasn't even a fulltime pro boxer at the time he fought Wilder on 3 or 4 weeks notice, but at the time of the fight Szpilka was most likely the best boxer in my opinion.

It's all a bit sad, isn't it?
I had Washington winning the first 3 rounds. How any judge could give any of those to Wilder who didn't land a punch is beyond belief.
We enjoyed the two lead up fights, and had no expectations the Wilder fight was going to be any real contest. So all good. Same old same old.

Wilder didn't look that good for 3, he opened up a bit later and did the job.
Not convincing plenty of holes there.
