Comments Thread For: Povetkin Disappointed With Delay, Wants Wilder Now

[Warrior2015]

Wilder is a weak pathetic coward.

Haymon is a corrupt criminal.

WBC is a corrupt joke.

Povetkin easily destroys Wilder.

[Teetotaler]

We all do. But "wilder need more fights to prepare himself doe" haha isn't he in his 30's already? I mean how much more better can he get when he fights nothing but cans?

The WBC Rules require 1 mandatory defense per year. He won the title in January so starting negotiations in October is nothing against the rules.

Team Wilder is smart because he clearly isn't ready for Povetkin. He needs more work to be ready for that defense late this year/early next year.

I would characterize Wilders ducking as "not wanting to get that @$$ beat down", definately not "smart"

tired of the new trend, with fighters being handed belts and also being allowed to grow by being given soft defenses - very similar to Chavez Jr. - they strip Sergio because they would not allow him to fight the same fighter that was approved for Sergio's stripped oops.. I mean vacant title. Dude was good enuff to fight Chavez Jr. but not good enuff to fight the real Champ ...... **** outta here - Wilder has been done a disservice, he is building up a false sense of confidence - Povetkin has the 2nd best pedigree in the division - he is going to seriously hurt Wilder - a 1 trick, I mean 1 punch pony is no champion, just a sideshow!

Povetkin fought a bunch of soft touches during his WBA "reign" , and then was absolutely destroyed by Wlad in one of the most one-sided HW title fights in history.

He's had his chance. He can wait a little longer for a second one, it's not going to kill him..

[MASTERBX]

beat by Wlad

Povetkin you got beat by Wlad, Just be a good boy and wait until the Champ gives you permission to challenge him you loser.

Duhaupas isnt bad in his last fight he won against Charr.

lol,,,,he lost to teper and squeaked out a close md over charr that could have went either way. charr is a bum. this fight is ludicrous

[beez721]

Duhuapas would be favored over Wach in a fight..

no he wouldnt

Rahman and Boswell were mandated. Huck was an excellent choice for a defence over a prime ATG. Wawrzyk was a stay busy fight with the Klitschko vs Povetkin fight and purse already agreed.

Try again.

I want povetkin to crush wilder but there is no duck. Wilder hadn't fought molina yet when the WBC ordered negotiations to start october & gave him a deadline for the mandatory fight. Wilder & his team took the opportunity to fight again in 3 months instead of waiting until years end or early 2016 for the povetkin fight. I thought povetkin would just wait. He should beat Wach but that is a risky fight if he gets injured especially with the russian with the deep pockets backing him...

Continue to be disappointed. I have my doubts to whether Wilder will actually fight Povetkin at any point.
