Comments Thread For: Klitschko Looks To Jump Ahead of Wilder To WBC Title

[flat1985]

Wilder should not even be mandatory anyway, Wlad should deffo get the next shot.

Let's be real about this, and this is what matters:

What do boxing fans want to see, Stiverne v Wilder or Stiverne v Klitschko?

[BoxingJunkie]

Since Wilder is the "official" challenger already accepted by the WBC, why not give Wilder the option to face Klitschko in an elimination bout, then fight the Winner of Stiverne/Arreola for the WBC belt.

This does not have to be mandatory but an option for Wilder to consider. Otherwise Klitschko will just have to wait to challenge the winner of Stiverne/Arreola AFTER Wilder either takes the belt from the winner or loses.

lol,,you've got to be kidding me? pulev may be a bit better than arreola and stiverne but stylistically he has even less of a chance at beating wlad. at least stiverne and aereola have some power. good for wlad for trying to unify

I disagree with you on Pulev's chances vs Wlad, but that's completely beside the point. Pulev has been Wlad's mando for almost a year, and earned that position against very decent opposition by HW standards. And Wlad, instead of facing his own mando (who already waited long enough), is trying to snatch another mando's title shot. Don't tell me you think that's OK.

The wbc should not give this guy the title shot. He bores everyone to sleep. The reason why boxing is not talked about much on TV is because there is no American Heavyweight Champion. Klitschko, Get To The Back Of The Line.

Klitschko Bores me to sleep. Give me Wilder vs Stiverne.

Klitschko Bores me to sleep. Give me Wilder vs Stiverne.

Stiverne v Wilder is the more exciting fight. There's plenty of time for Stiverne v Klitschko. Loads of great fights to be made for Bermane.

Please make this happen. One Heavyweight Champion of the World for Boxing after so long can only benefit the sport. No one will miss Wilder not getting his shot immediately. He can get it after there is one champ, so if he does win it'll make it only better for him.

Wilder is talented, but he's not ready to be champion. No way, no how. I hate that he's ranked so high; he needs many more fights to develop.

There should be only one heavyweight champion; I'd rather see Wlad grab the belt as quickly as possible and let everyone get in a SINGLE FILE line to challenge for the title.

[Fr3$h]

He can always fight Pulev after unifying. Or vice versa. It's kind of a moot point. Wlad isnt Floyd. Just because he doesn't fight someone right now it doesn't mean he's written them off for life or running from them. Pulev or the winner of this fight are equally decent.
