Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Plans Regular Run of Defenses at Home

Wilder is going to do in Alabama what Ward does in Oakland lol.

Disappointing....

[Tobi.G]

I doubt Wilder goes anywhere near Povetkin.

Then he gonna lose his title LOL!
I see another Andre ward in Wilder, only fighting his hometown.....what we got right here is another hometown-fighter who gets away with everything and has the judges on his site....just like ward. He has to fight Povetkin though.

Wilder was gifted that title anyway!

Wlad ought to have won it from Stiverne anyway who had no right to have fought Arreola for it instead in the first place.

All there is left now is......

BUM......Squad!!!!!!

Wilder is very mediocre. The only reason a fighter of Wilder's calibre can hold a world title is with a combination of record padding/match fixing and being fortunate to compete in the the worst ever era in HW boxing history.

Holding the belt hostage. Typical Yank

Good luck winning the purse bid against Povetkin's billionaire promoter

I must disagree a bit with that "worst era" rant. There are some HWs today that would´ve made an impact in other eras with their size and power. What really does stink however is the fact that the top ten HWs simply wont fight each other unless there´s a world title at stake. So.. decent fighters, but very few good fights. Wlad is a great champ but him retiring might give the contenders some boost to fight each other and actually take some risks.

Bingo. People rag on Deontay but come on I don't see Povetkin lining up Pulev or Fury signing up for Jennings. The game is for all HW to fight bums until the Wlad shot.

I personally believe Wilder will put a beating on Povetkin. 8-9" reach advantage, 5" taller, more speed and power, better feet and agility. Sasha is going to get hurt bad

A poll thread for Wilder against some street sweeper?

I'm going to have to really think about this before I vote.
