Heavyweight Division

I thought Duhaupas was ok. But yeah, he needs to step it up.

No Duhaupas is a shocker.

Yeah agreed and he's the best defence of the lot. No more than a gatekeeper.

Yeah I'm sure people will say he beat the Finish guy recently but really? Chisora beat him easily.

[craigyid14]

And I really don't rate Chisora, he's the epitome of what's wrong with the heavyweight division, lazy chubby and a dull fighter.

Yes similar to Molina beating old man Adamek.

For me its a bit strange how certain corners are caving and giving wilder respect now. I still won't.

Guy is 30, been pro for 8 years and has had one legit fight against stiverne.... Who is decent but not great.

Outside of that he's done zilch.

I said for a long long time that the plan with wilder was simple

Build him up on a huge ko streak against bums. Pick up an easy belt, then cash out and call it a career. And so far I've seen nothing to disprove that, the povetkin fight would have done the job, and you notice since then all team wilder are talking about is getting their money.

I'm convinced wilder is Michael grant 2.0 and now they are going for yet another defence against a bum, I still feel that way.

Wilder was half a second from brink KO'd by Harold sconiers and his reactions to even cuffing shots looks dire, the first clean shot from any guy above journeyman level will finish him. I have so little faith in wilder I think areolla may honestly finally get that title he's been after all these years.

It is confusing how those two have moved up having fought sub-par opponents and neither fight was for any IBF belts.

[diehard]

It's all about the promotion for Haye and the IBF. Get Haye in position, and then launch a big fight. Ruiz? Don't understand that. He's certainly hasn't fought anyone other than be Parker's sparring partner. Maybe the IBF want him in a big fight? i'll keep checking boxrec for his next opponent. Definitely not deserved. Like Breazeale. Also think Haye is #3 based on history. Tua was #2 for a long time in his comeback, having fought no one. History.

I do think that Parker needs to face Duhaupas. It would be a good tough fight for him. Stu says he's got an opponent ready for Izu this week who's pretty good. Would love for him to crack the top 10.
