Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Look Forward To Facing Povetkin

Povetkin easy KO.

I agree. Povetkin is a way better fighter.

[SN!PER]

Povetkin's backers will easily win this purse bid like they did for the Klitschko fight. This fight would be in Moscow. Will wilder take it?

I think it will be in Vegas at the MGM due to the high sales of the Mayweather fight at that location. But yeah, I think Wilder will fight him in Moscow if it comes to that.

There's no room to duck in the Heavyweight division, unless you have your brother fight them for you.

True hopefully this is the start of getting meaningful competitive fights in the heavyweight division again

The HW division has been on fire, wtf are you watching?

I believe the case could easily be made that the HW division of the 2010's has been and continuing to be the most exciting of any era!

All the top boxers have been and are still now figthting each other and there's never been so many really tough guys either.

This is a difficult fight for Wilder. Distance control is key.

If povetkin's backers put up anything like they did for the Klitschko fight, they will win the purse bid in a landslide. Haymon won't even try to compete with it. They will choose then Moscow. Would Wilder take it? For the kind of money povetkin's people would put up, Wilder would be a fool not to. For the Klitschko fight, the purse bid was 23 million dollars. The champion gets 75 percent. The next highest bid was 7 million. If povetkin's people put up 10 million, wilder would get 7.5 million. He ain't getting that kind of money anywhere unless he fights Klitschko.

Weren't some of the same people who are now rooting for Povetkin saying something not too long ago about the "era of short heavyweights" was over, and now they're saying a 6'1" is the best heavyweight in the division.

Anyway, I'm just excited about this fight. Povetkin's KO 1 is perfect for hyping it up even more. Now we just need a KO 1 from Wilder and their clash will go through the roof in ratings.

According to BoxRec.com, Povetkin is 6'2". Still short however.

Povetkin KOd Perez, what!? Wow! Honestly i havent been paying too much attention to the HW div but from what ive seen from Perez, i put him ahead of the rest of the contenders in terms of skill. Definately speaks volumes of Povetkin and how hes bouncing back, Wilder better watch out.

Perez hasn't been the same since the Magomed Abdusalamov fight (guilt, regret, or whatever, Perez hasn't been the same).

Povetkin shatters Wilder's de****able glass mug. They better get a broom and dustpan ready to sweep up all the glass that will be on the canvas.

Lmao that's pretty funny
