Comments Thread For: Wilder: Klitschko Fight Likely Happens In 2016

[Jewish-Reptile]

Wlad is holding it up, not Wilder. Wlad has to fight Fury first, who knows how long that's going to take. Then the fight with Wilder has to be made. Wilder said it would be a good idea to fight him when Wlad still has some legs but Wlad wants Fury first..

Wlad has to face his mandatories whilst Wilder makes him wait. Fury and Wlad is expected around September time, that then gives them a month or two to work out a fight before Povetkin is mandated, if negotiations are underway during that period Povetkin will not even enter into proceedings, until after they have fought. The only worry in all this is Ryabinksy offering huge money to Wilder to pass on Klitschko as Povetkin's manager has said himself Wlad vs Povetkin isn't really an option with relations and tensioms as they are right now between their countries of birth.

Sorry I had to laugh. 40 year old athletes are now in their "prime"? His brother was pretty much washed-up by now, Wlad is definitely slowing down..

His brother was doing just fine at forty years of age. Even stopping opponents at 42, and defeating guys like Chisora with one arm too.

Why do people keep saying this? Just cause quillin dropped his belt.. There's no chance wilder drops the belt

Who is saying Wilder will vacate ? The belt is worth a fortune to him, it will set him up for life facing one of Povetkin or Klitschko.

In an ideal world, Wlad will get Wilder soon, unify, and then call it a day.

However, I fear Haymon and Wilder will do everything they can to keep the WBC strap hostage.

Wilder aint keeping no belt hostage facing guys like Arreola and Molina. Don't worry about that, whichever fight makes most commercial success from Povetkin or Klitschko I expect happens after his September defence. I expect Wilder vs Klitschko can do ppv by the time Fury and and September are out of the way. Hence why they have kept Deontay on Showtime for his PBC fights. It could trump any ridiculous purse offer from Ryabinsky, simply Povetkin vs Wilder isn't ppv worthy.

Wilder would be out of his dang mind to vacate the belt. That would be lunacy of the highest order. The WBC belt is his ticket to face Wlad if he wants. wilder-Klit is a PPV for sure. Would do at least a million buys..

Fury is going to end Wlad's bum of the career tour. Then Fury will become undisputed after he beats the Povetkin/Wilder winner and go down as the #1 HW of the post Lewis era. That's how it will probably unfold.

[Easy Work.]

Wilder would really need to step up his game. The Wilder who fought Molina would get KO'd early by Wlad.

The Wilder who fought Stiverne, has a chance to at least go 12.

As a wilder fan i cant disagree. wilder still finished the fight but he looked bad compared to the stiverne fight. I dont know if he didnt take training serious for molina but he needs to work on some things in the gym ASAP

bro no disrespect but i cant see fury beating any of those guys. Fury got layed out by a cruiserweight and wilder has more power than cunningham. The punches that molina landed on wilder probably would have sent fury down to the canvas.

they need to stop the ppv stuff. Would be better to make fights like that on pbc

Maybe, but the way they been marketing Wilder lately and the reason they just had a soft touch who he was expected to KO earlier was all the more about profile building now he is recognised in the States, before the Stiverne fight he was still a relative unknown and all the KO's really meant little to the marketing campaign of now, whilst he's in the public domain with that belt he needs to look impressive hence why we got the Molina defence to make him look red hot, nearly back fired but he got the job done in the manner he intended too, albeit a little longer than he would have hoped.

Ppv is what they are aiming towards, finally they have a heavyweight champion and not only thst a young, charismatic, brash, loud, heavy hitting bum destroyer. Wilder will make sells on the back of a unification, he'll be able to cash out after all the hard work matching him up leading to the title to begin with.

[BostonGuy]

Wilder will not fight his mandatory.

Deontay's planning to fight another poor opponent on September 26.

Wlad would prefer to fight Wilder instead of Fury, but Deontay doesn't want it until the real champion gets OLDER.

Have you no faith in Wladimir? Klitschko is a 'young' 39 year old guy. He takes great care of himself, stays in shape in between fights and has a boxing IQ that rivals Floyd. Wlad beats Wilder now, in a year or two years; he's aged well and has gotten better with age.

It was a good shot, he got back up and knocked Cunningham out. Nobody stopped Cunningham before or since. USS was a good fighter, Wilder got layed out by a 17-20 bum. That sub 50 ranked Arreola KO1 victim bum wouldn't have been competitive for even a second against Fury (or any other decently skilled fighter). The way I saw Wilder teetering like a drunken sailor and otherwise struggling against said sub 50 ranked cherrypicked bum the other night makes me think Wilder is worse than even I thought. I don't give him much chance against Povetkin.
