This fight is reminiscent to Joe Frazier's first defenses against Terry Daniels and Ron Stander.....When a guy wins the heavyweight championship he is given a gimme fight as a victory lap and a reward for the title. He makes a few easy bucks and gets mentioned on sports shows and then in awhile must look for serious competition.

Wilder? Wasn't that the guy Charlie Zelenoff whopped up on? Not interested.

i'm all for gimme fights to get more people interested in fighters, and showcase talents
i think Wilder will get another one after this before he has to start fighting better fighters, and i don't mind that
but as soon as he starts fighting legit fighters, he needs to keep fighting the better fighters or risk being laughed at
Povetkin is mandatory for him coming up. Short of Wlad, it doesn't get any harder than that.
Wilder can take a couple gimmees..
