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

[saintpat]

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.

Did you not read the quote from Povtekin's promoter after the Perez fight that they might want to take another fight before Wilder?

[Robbie Barrett]

There is no avoidning, Povetkin is the mando and it is up to the sanctioning body to enforce it

Of course he's avoiding it's not like Wilder isn't allowed to fight Povetkin before he's forced to do so.

I am PULLING for D. Wilder !!

But

He is showing some weaknesses at this new level.

He looks weak in his body, like he would wilt under a big body shot.

He gives me the impression that a big shot to the chin would put him down for good.

Povetkin or Klits might KO the Alabama MULE !

I hope not , but the RUSSIANS ARE COMING !!!!!

Not just in the Heavyweights, hahaha look at it , from Lomencheco, GGG, Kovalev, Beterbiev , its ON for shore !!!!!!!!

CHICKEN CHASERS DELUXE !!!!!

Why wouldn't they? Unless they wanted to be sidelined for the remainder of the year.

I don't see why both shouldn't stay active. Makes complete sense.

Just dont think Wilders run at the HW champ is gonna continue much longer. He is gonna pull the business card and fight c class fighters. Thats why he wont wait. He is a C+ fighter at best an A class fighter will take his belt and he will wither away

Damn straight, the champ waits for no man.

Looking forward to the next brutal ko in alabama

wilder the great black hope

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

True. One fight a piece should be good enough, but it seems like they're more than willing to extend it, or atleast that's how the article reads.

I believe that it is Haymon himself that is stalling the Povetkin fight. Because he needs more time to actually create his new PBC Championship belts. He also needs time to get his PBC rankings in order so he can attempt to eliminate any real threat to his PBC Champs. The number one HW contender would be...possibly Briggs? I bet that Haymon must of had a cow when Wilder had the WBC belt tattooed on his leg. I am sure that Haymon already has a tattoo artist designing a tattoo of one his new PBC belts to cover it up.
