I could keep going, but I think even you should get the point. There is so many better fighters ahead of broner. If broner was the number two guy and offered PAC 50 million and instead he fought Jesse Vargas for 20 then yes that's a duck, get it? Do you not understand context?Comment

If you say so. Your opinion doesn't really matter to me. I don't have a problem with whatever move wilder makes next. If its fury instead of povetkin that is fine. If he doesn't fight Povetkin and goes fury then wlad, fine.
The man has just fought his 1st live body. Instead of going to the #2 HWT next, he will likely to go to the #5 guy. Only idiots like you and others in this thread would classify that as a duck. He is taking a smaller step up. Happens year in and year out in the sport.
I just realized. el blanco is from Toronto. you are from England. So this is only because wilder is an American fighter. I should've realized.
Wouldn't it be more logical to note that you're a Yank, apparently black and the biggest Al Haymon ****rider on the board, that you might be a bit more biased than anyone else? That's if you want to play that card.
This joker had Al Haymon as his bloody avatar and he's trying to play the "biased" card.
It's 10 million dollars. I don't give a **** where he's from. If Fury or Gaye turned down that money, I'd be ****ting on them too. I shat on Gaye for years for ducking the Klitschkos. Try another form of damage control Dunn.Comment

Hatton didn't fight witter. you didn't call it a duck. Why didn't you label that a duck? you then gave financial reasons why it was ok to wait for the fight.
In my 1st post I suggest deontay can wait to fight Povetkin for possibly more money down the road and you criticize me for it.
why the double standard?
why the difference?Comment

Wilder was carefully handeled before he won the strap from a dehydrated (?) Stiverne, and continues to be so. He will lose that strap soon enough, but the powers that be wish to keep it here in the states when he does.Comment

I just went into the Hatton/Witter thread.
Hatton didn't fight witter. you didn't call it a duck. Why didn't you label that a duck? you then gave financial reasons why it was ok to wait for the fight.

How is that in any way the same as this? You're a trier Dunn, I'll give you that.Comment

Lol I was waiting for the "were jus haters" card to be pulled. I actually like wilder, the character is irrelevant, were debating whether avoiding the number two guy for ten million and instead fighting a lesser opponent for 1-5/10th less money is a duck. And yes it is. He could fight fury or anyone else next for two mil and get iced, then this long term business decision will be a disaster.

I explained in my 1st post why I didn't have a problem with it, Did you read that post? It seemed as if you just jumped in late.
Fury is a lesser step up than Povetkin IMO. Wilder is IMO still a relatively untested fighter. That's why I think he should go to fury next, if you disagree, fine.
Choosing a smaller step up isn't a duck IMO. If you feel differently, so be it.
as for the broner pac analogy, it was about the mindset of posters like pain lucy. they fit every non fight into the word "duck". its really ******.
Read my 1st post then get back to me. As for the US fighter piece, its the only thing I could figure.Comment

I believe I said that they were both domestic level fighters so it would have been a waste to make the fight at that point. Both of them would have made peanuts for the fight at that point. As opposed to....you know....10 million dollars.
How is that in any way the same as this? You're a trier Dunn, I'll give you that.
I made a similar point that you did in that thread- sacrificing a short term payday for the potential of making more down the road.
Its really not that big a deal. as for the post before this, Ive been as critical of wilder as any poster on NSB despite him being a Haymon guy.
If you didn't label hatton/witter a duck then you shouldn't label this one either.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 01-29-2015, 03:47 PM.Comment
