Comments Thread For: Wilder-Duhaupas Set To Be Announced For NBC/PBC Bill

[Ravens Fan]

Pffft, you guys consider Povetkin a legit fighter right?

Here were his four WBA defenses leading up to Wlad:

Cedric Boswell
Marco Huck (Cruiserweight)
40-year old Hasim Rahman
Andrzej Warzyk

Real murderer's row there...

It's like some of you started watching boxing two years ago..

Wilder has had four more fights then Povetkin and Sasha has fought seven Ring top ten fighters in his career. How many has Wilder fought? That would be exactly one.

Number of fights are irrelevant. Povetkin started boxing as a child and had an extensive amateur career. He turned pro in June 2005.

Wilder started boxing at 20 and had a limited, albeit successful amateur career. He turned pro November 2008 (3.5 years after Povetkin).

As the poster you quoted stated, after beating Chagaev for a regular belt, Povetkin's first four defenses were Boswell, Huck, Rahman, and Wawrzyk. Get a grip and get over your hate for America.

I see how some **** on this fight but then defend the Wlad vs Leapai fight smh

leapai was a mandatory. I excuse wilder for taking on a softy for his first defense but this is ridiculous. he already had his gimme fight. its time to fight a legit top ranked contender now. this is bs

[SeekDaGreat]

Did you consider Huck vs Glowacki to be in that 95 percent ? This fight is about Deontay perfecting his craft against a durable opponent, low risk which will likely earn him a million dollars before his next fight which will likely earn him ten fold what he takes home in this one.

I'm not overly excited for it, yet if the Molina fight proved anything it proved he needs more fights before Povetkin/Klitschko.

I didn't get to see Huck vs Gkowacki. I didn't even know who he was and didn't know they were fighting. Like I said, once in a blue moon you get a pleasant suprise. It's just not worth my time personally to gamble on fights I have no hope for going into the damn thing.

On the other hand, often, a very intriguing and seemingly even fight is a complete dud.

It's like playing roulette and I chose to bet my hands on the fights I deem will be competitive.

I'm not always right, but it's my choice. Did I tell you not to watch it? You can do whatever you please.

For Wilder there is no such thing.
He could be blown out by just about anyone on any given night.

Hate for America? A bit dramatic aren't you?

Wilder has been a pro for almost seven years and he has had 34 fights and a belt and he also dares to call himself the heavyweight champion of the world. Therefore I find it a bit ludicrous that his fans criticize Povetkin and yet somehow continue to make excuses for Wilder's lame a$$ choice of opponents.

By the way I agree that Povetkin's title run was garbage. In realty that seems to be the norm for the WBA regular heavyweight champ, a champ that in no way what so ever should be taken seriously. That also still doesn't change the fact that Povetkin fought seven Ring top ten fighters in his career. And I am not even a Povetkin fan.

The Molina fight proved Wilder forgets everything in Boxing 101 when he's on a somewhat big stage. If he does that vs Povetkin and/or Wlad, he will be launched clean out of the stadium and into Wilder Orbit #BR 549... never to return to planet earth. Embarrassing his performance last time out. Observing him at a couple other cards, I think the guy just luvs attention way too much. All that attention comes later. First up is business. Get the job(s) done, then relax and blabber away til the cows come home. Hope he has fun and makes some moolah whilst he can so he can take care of his daughter.

[Fury4daWIN]

something about Lepai's ranking will be used to defend that fight

It's because he beat Boytsov, who was for some reason highly ranked before the loss.

[Hougigo]

I don't outright hate it
There were worse options

I don't expect anybody good until the Povetkin negotiations start...I also think he'll fight one more time before Povetkin too...
