Looks like Wilder is fighting Glazkov on 1/16

[The Hammer]

I doubt this fight will happen.

I know Wilder's management want Glazkov because they feel he's no threat, but if Glazkov is smart he'll wait for the bigger payday against Klitschko in 2016.

And losing to ATG Klitschko is no disgrace, unlike losing to Wilder.

Wow.

I wonder what he's getting paid. Got to be pretty good to risk his shot against Wlad.

He had to do something to stay on the radar. I don't think it would be in his financial or professional interests to do yet another dud fight in Alabama when he almost got KO'd last time.

And Glazkov is a lot easier than Povetkin. A lot. He's not really that much of a threat.

It's about the bare minimum as a worthy title opponent. Wilder probably wins it, but it will be the best measuring stick to date.

Yeah he's highly ranked but how good is he really? Everyone who saw the fight knows he should have lost to Scott and besides that he had two very iffy decisions against Cunningham and Rossy, with a case to be made that he lost both fights as well. His career best win to date is over an extremely shop worn Adamek who'd already lost to Cunningham and Chambers prior to the fight and would go on to get outboxed by Szpilka FFS. I don't like to break guys down for the hell of it, but Glazkov really is a manufactured prospect. He's extremely average and going to get soundly trounced by the first live opponent with power he steps in the ring with. If Wilder fights him he's going to get destroyed.

He's limited and I think he should have several losses as well, but he looks good on paper. Undefeated, top 10 HW, Olympic bronze and World silver medalist. Plus he's got the Eastern European thing going for him.

Sure he looks good on paper, if that's the angle you're going for. But if Wilder wants a genuine challenge that will help him towards Povetkin then I'm not sure how well Glazkov fits the bill. He's not terrible by any means, and I won't knock Wilder if he chooses to fight him; in fact quite the opposite. But unlike someone like Chisora, who looks bad on paper but is actually pretty damn good, Glazkov provides only limited threat.

That's nit picking though.

[punishing]

I think its a better matchup than a typical Wilder fight but I really have been disappointed by Glazkov. I had him losing to Malik Scott and Cunningham plus Rossy arguably beat him.

Haymon's pockets are deep and lined with cash these days.

Glazkov would have to wait too long for Klitschko. I think he'll take the offer.
