Sorry but isn't Wilder the paper champ these days,I know Povetkin was before,,,shouldn't Wilder be offering him to come to the states?We should hold Wilder to different standards from other champs since he isn't a champ. We could excuse it if a casual fan mistook Wilder for champion because of sheltered US heavyweight coverage, but you post on a boxing forum and we assume that means you follow boxing:

Povetkin (who you possibly hadn't heard of before clicking this thread, knowing Wilder's usual fanbase) offering him a fight is as good as he can hope for.
Does Povetkin enter the ring after the champ on the ringwalk aswell.... What else do you want,I'll take a noteComment

Didn't read all of the posts here but if Sasha wants that strap he should come to the U.S and take it and agree that Wilder should be allowed to take a voluntary defense but after that needs to at least every couple fights, fight the best available opponent.Comment

Can't say that I blame him. It's not like he stands a snowball's chance in hell of beating Sasha.Comment

I don't know how anybody can be saying that the pro-wilder posters are winning the debate here when it is the anti-wilder posters mopping the floor up with the pro-wilder posters and doing it with a beer in one hand and a kool-aid smile on their faces.
I am extremely surprised to see people making excuses up for wilder. He wants to call himself a champ but it seems him & his team want the softest competition he can find. I don't care if the fight is on the moon,if the number 2 ranked guy offers you 10 million to fight and you,your team & your fans make up silly excuses not to fight,then to me IMO that is a duck.A big fat wing flappin duck. Noway to excuse that.
And I am born,bred, & live in the states, so you cant say I am biased toward Euro fighters. Oh and one more thing, can the posters from other countries stop calling all Americans yanks. I am from the south and we absolutely despise the yanks here. Yanks as in the people in the north US. Thanks.Comment

Povetkin would be a voluntary defense?
I think Wilder would do well and stray from Wlad's "safety first" voluntaries.Comment
