Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Wilder Still Growing, We Must Give Him Time

[LacedUp]

What is he being ridiculous about? Wilder did ask the WBC for a tune up. The WBC set the negotiations to start in October. The fight would've been made by now if not for Povetkin asking for a tune up. But Wilder ducking doe

Because Povetkin took at tune-up because Wilder had a tune up?

u gotta show the truth in that bro...bc i havent seen a date tht said the purse bid was due..or if they were ordered to have a deal ironed out...i think they go a date and povetkin asked for a fight in russia first...he should have stayed active it is his fault

There was an article from May where WBC said negotiations had to commence in October. Wilder books a fight, then Povetkin books a fight - otherwise he would have had to long out of the ring.

On my mobile now, but posters know what's up. And that's Wilder milking every ounce of the WBC tit as he can.

Give him more time? He holds the WBC belt, either fight the best or give it up

Guys like Cotto set this precedent.

look i'll say this..GGG first two opponents where fuggin terrible...and he never had a povetkin mando..wilder will be just fine and u'll love the povetkin fight when it comes..#boxing

Let's not be blind to the fact that GGG is avoided like the plague.

Evander is right that Wilder needs more time. That's why he shouldn't have fought for the belt yet, because once you get it you no longer have time to develop.

At that point you have to face all challengers to the throne.

wilder fought in september povetkin should have announced a fight as soon as he heard wilder was staying busy or waited..instead he screwed himself bc wilder will continue to be busy and rightfully so..he is the champ..povetkin wants his shot he'll get on the right schedule..im not so sure he wants the fight tho...they size and style says wilder beats him

Wilder will retire Wlad the hugger. Grabimere Clinchko wont be able to hug and clinch Wilder . Deontay will us his reach , speed and jab and eventually land a right on Grabimeres glass jaw----and that will be the end . FACT
