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

[pedrito]

Wlad certainly deserves to unify. Stiverne and Arreola have done absolutely nothing to deserve a title shot.

Wlad can try to unify once Wilder gets the WBC Belt.

Thats Blasphemous. But you are entitled to your opinion. I disagree with you entirely. Rigondeaux and Hopkins are masters of the sweet science. Wladimir Klitschko is Just: Jab Jab Jab Jab Hold Jab Hold Hold Hold for 12 rounds.

You are entitled to your opinion as well but I disagree, although they are good to watch I find Wladimir more entertaining.

Forget about Wlad fighting the winner.

Just hand him the belt now and let the winner fight him. I would hate for that green belt to float around like it has done the last ten years.

Everything needs to be unified, so all these guys can get in one line and EARN their shot at the champ.

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?

Of course Stiverne vs. Wilder! Or maybe Arreola vs. Wilder. And then Wlad vs. Wilder! In the meantime Wlad can go for Pulev, whos waiting for his shot to long already.

But they won't be in one line, they'll be in 5 different lines and Wlad will be entitled to voluntaries in between so he won't even have to fight them.

The one champ notion only works when there's one belt, and the champ is forced to face his mandatory.

Otherwise he can just pick and choose the weakest contenders from whoever the slack sanctioning body installs (e.g. Leapai).

I disagree. Even with four belts around his waist, Wlad is still Wlad. It wouldn't make him any more interesting or entertaining. And he has been considered THE HW champ since forever, so what difference would it really make?

It's not entertainment, but the discipline and order in the sport I am referring to. You say it doesn't matter, but once we do have one champ it will make a difference. Try explaining to someone completely clueless about boxing with all the belts and see the reaction you get.

Yes, Wlad is considered champ, but no one can undermine the importance of the WBC belt and there is a reason why Wlad is making these moves otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.

Also like I've said Wilder can fight after and if he wins you can have an entertaining champion.

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

What do you mean 'good for Wlad for trying to unify' ?? Likes thats some sort of legit excuse for ducking Pluev. Every fighter wants to unify the belts you clown, not just Wlad.
Why should he be given a pat on the back for wanting all the belts?

Absolute disgrace if he puts off the Pulev mandatory again. I don't see how anyone can defend it. Man up, Wlad, and fight Kobrata. It won't kill you, I promise.

Pulev should not be kept waiting any longer.this from Wladimir disappoints me,amd I am a huge fan,of both might I add too.

Wladimir has a moral obligation to Kubrat even though the WBC unification allows him to delay with Kubrat further.

Forget about Wlad fighting the winner.

Incredible,something we agree on.although I would very much like to see Wladimir fulfill his obligation to Pulev I couldn't agree more with this.

Of course Stiverne vs. Wilder! Or maybe Arreola vs. Wilder. And then Wlad vs. Wilder! In the meantime Wlad can go for Pulev, whos waiting for his shot to long already.

As much as I want to see Wladimir unify at the earliest opportunity,I really want to see him defend against Oulev beforehand.too long is true,he has been messed around for nearly two years,waiting on Adamek,Fury,keeping him inactive for 11 months ! then waiting since Thompson last Aug to fight for the championship.at least the IBF relented allowed him to keep busy,granting him fights versus Abell and the 'can' guy last month.

wilder should fight the winner wlad should fight pulev and if wilder comes through we then get a big unification with a bit of hype behind it wilder v wlad for the undisputed title
