Comments Thread For: Team Wilder: We're Not Going To Sit, Wait For Povetkin

But Yoz, how?

HOW can they get away with this??

How can he not be immediately stripped and his belt handed over?

This is PURE Rid**** Bowe styles!!!

At least Bowe binned the belt when he was ducking.

Haymon has invested a lot of money in Wilder, is he really going to let Povetkin expose him before he's milked his cash cow? I doubt it.

BUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SQUADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yes, Wilder will fight another journeyman in September, and delay the fight with Povetkin for as long as he can.

Some people here are really crazy.

This might be the worst excuse ive ever heard

How does Wilder ever expect to make a big fight if he doesnt want to take some time to make it happen?

Hopefully this is just negotiating tactics

The cow must give up some more thick, sweet cream before he is put out to graze...

[Rip Chudd]

I think it's pretty apparent that they want Wilder to get more experience before facing Povetkin. He's still learning... but they should've thought of that before getting a belt and calling him the "HW champ of the world". Can't have it both ways.

Exactly, when you put that belt around your waist you better be ready for the best the division has to offer. If not, time to vacate and let those who really want to be a champ fight for the belt.

It's mad the corruption within the WBC. When Stiverne got the title he wasn't allowed any voluntary or unification fights and was forced to fight not one but two mandatories back to back against American's. The WBC isn't even trying to hide their contempt for the fans.

Hmmm yeah I am glad someone else has called the root of the problem here too.

I even think it went a bit deeper than that allowing Stiverne to face Arreola (an American) in the 1st place rather than have Stiverne fight Wlad for it, what you'd imagine would naturally happen.

If that had transpired, we'd never be in this East/West split situation at all.

It's been the American dream all along.

No longer competitive in HW boxing, so steal a strap (and I do mean steal), run away to the US and disallow foreign competition.

Cowardly!
