Deontay Wilder's opponent finally named

[jreckoning]

Wilder was knocked down as a pro?

YES!

And by the world bad ass Harold Sconiers who is like 18-23 and is usually ko'ed by anyone good in short order.

My email to Wilder's manager - Jay Deas:

Hayes has been inactive since 2007 and has never fought at heavyweight before and he's lost his last 5 fights.

Also, he's fought mostly at light heavyweight, but he's had fights at middleweight, super-middleweight and one at cruiserweight.

Why is Wilder being matched up against such sub par competition? He's more than capable and has the talent to be fighting much more durable opponents like Dominic Guinn, Vinny Maddalone, Kendrick Releford, Robert Hawkins, et al..

Frankly, you guys are doing a vast disservice to him but matching him up against certified bums.

Regards,
Burt

Jay Deas response:

hi burt, thanks for your interest in deontay. this is the first ive heard the name marlon hayes. i was/am under the impression deontay is fighting chris koval (25-8). we also approved eleisier castillo. i havent heard that koval pulled out but ill check into it. i don't know anything about hayes, though i'd never call any boxer a bum. as you can tell by deontay's record, we've stepped him up and of the boxrec top 20 american heavyweights, deontay is number 20. the records of deontay's opponents are better than the records of most of the other guys in the top 20. in other words, deontay's first 20 opponents have a better record than the first 20 opponents of eddie chambers (#1), tony thompson (#2), seth mitchell, oliver mccall, michael grant, and on and on and on. just fyi. thanks, j
