Comments Thread For: Povetkin in Line For Deontay Wilder Mandatory Crack

[PunchyPotorff]

Povetkin keeps improving all the time, so this would be a good fight.... at least 50/50. Still questions need to be answered about both fighters. I'd pick Povetkin for just his experience and power level, plus he's durable. Wilder could land a clean bomb but even that's not a guaranteed KO. I like this fight, or Fury/Wilder. Both matchups are intriguing.

Step-aside money not going to work for Haymon, the Russians have got too much.

Great fight! Its one of them fights you dont know who gonna win it!
Hopefully it gets made.

If we don't get Fury-Wilder, Povetkin-Wilder makes a lot of sense.

Fury shouldn't even be in the conversation, He's a bum. Fury V Wilder is a total mismatch, Wilder would knock him out inside 4 rounds.

Wilder V Povetkin on the other had could be one hell of a fight.

Uh oh time to pull a Quillin!

But seriously I do hope Wilder vs Fury happens next. Winner fights Povetkin.

Forget about Fury man. He's a bum. Any of the top guys would destroy him.

The WBC have it right. Povetkin V Perez. Winner fights Wilder

And don't discount Mike Perez. He's a good fighter who has a chance of beating Povetkin.

That was a short reign. I wonder how many decades until a US HW grabs a vacated belt again.

First of all Povetkin would have to get over Mike Perez which will be very difficult.

2nd any fight with Wilder will have to be in the US. Deontay is the A side and I believe he would win, whether that is against Povetkin or Perez

At the very least Povetkin can get a gift in Moscow, but I think he'll win fairly.

It will go to whoever wins the purse bid, if that's the Russians then it will be scheduled to take place in Moscow.

Very interesting. If he goes the haymon route, I won't be a fan.

I said it before, it'll be wilder vs fury, wlad vs jennings, povetkin vs perez. Winner of wilder-fury vs winner of povetkin-perez... That winner fights wlad for all the titles.

Wilder vs Povetkin/Perez

Winner of Wilder/Povetkin/Perez Vs Klitschko/Jennings

i hope its BOMBSQUAD vs Tyson Fury

Be sure you don't blink or you will miss that fight. Fury eats one overhand right from the Bronze bomber and it's "Goodnight Irene.

No. If Povetkin can beat Perez and earn a shot against Wilder. Povetkin is going to have to go to America to challenge the champ. There is no way the US side is going to give up home advantage when they are the champion.

That fight will either be in The MGM Grand in Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden in New York City.
