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

And this is definitely NOT one of those times!

No need to hype up Captain 'Ordinary' Huck. There's absolutely nothing "astounding" about him and if he wanted to move to heavyweight he would have done so. Instead he's happy feeding on bums for years and having wars with a 3rd grade fighter in Ola Afolabi.

Complete average joe. And you always big up guys who've given one of your favourites problems. Why? He's nothing special.

Povetkin wasn't the Povetkin he is today. He more than likely would destroy Huck now and probably just had a bad day.

Well they're both ranked top 15 HW on boxrec now. Who is he going to fight that's any better that's actually active and ready to go? Jennings is eyeing a bum fight near the end of the year. Pulev is in hiding. Fury is going to fight Wlad.

Glazgov is anxiously awaiting a Wlad shot. Who in the heck is he supposed to fight?

He could fight his mando???

And like I always says, it's a sad state of the division when the top 15 has guys like Arreola and TT.

Oh god

Povetkin should just make a public statement that he's ready to fight in September, if he hasn't already.

As many people have said, if you claim to be the champ then you better fight the best there is. Honestly, I've never been that high on Wilder but if he fights anyone other than Povetkin next, he's ducking for real.

Now, if we remember the last heavyweight champ from Alabama, Evander Holyfield, his motto was "I duck no one" because he was the real deal. Deontay, are you the real deal? Then step up and fight your number one contender and prove it - if you lose, you lose. You can always come back and fight another day.

trying and losing is better than not trying at all.

This is one of those very rare times you've posted something remotely accurate and intelligent...

Moreover too, Huck is the Cruiser champion and an astounding boxer with aspirations to permanently step up to HW and could make a significant impact there himself.

In fact Huck could prove to be Wilder's best opponent should they fight right now.

Look at how Adamek came from LHW to fight Vitali and belt up Arreola, Grant and Golota!!

Oh god

every fighter has had a bad fight in there careers. povetkins had many other fights besides huck so why judge him one one terrible fight? he was clearly out of shape that night and has improved steadily ever since. you think wilder hasnt been rocked and looked bad in any of his fights?

Povetkin nearly lost to a blown up CW, Huck. Wilder KO's this bum.

This "STAX ON DECK" guy must be Deontay Wilder, or atleast one of his PR guys.

Only somebody heavily invested in team Wilder could say something so utterly ridiculous!
