    Liar. Povetkin never said that, nor did any member of his team.

    We Be Crooks said it.

    His trainer and promoter both said "we're ready NOW".
    After they requested an extension from the WBC.

    Povetkin needs to stop stalling and fight Wilder.

      You are completely misinterpreting the quote to back up your baseless argument.
      That's exactly what it is.

      Freedom is a master of propaganda.

        I don't think Povetkin fight with Wach was as much pushing it back, should Povetkin not fight at all and just play the waiting game?
        I agree the fight could've happened in February or March but Povetkin's team said they won't be ready until April or May

          April early... could be worth it, did they say why is it that eye Injury he picked up because I can remember reading some article a while ago with them saying they could be ready very early.

          I just want this fight over and done with I think Wilder can win it but meh whatever, If Wilder intends on fighting 3 times in this year then the early January fight he has intended wont be a problem because April/May seems realistic so being Wilder makes easy work of whoever he has in January.

            They said he wouldn't be ready before the fight so at the time they said that the eye injury wasn't a factor.

              Be honest, now.

              Povetkin took the fight with Wach only because Wilder demanded the voluntary fight with Duhaupas. He didn't want to be inactive too many months.

              After Povetkin beat Wach, the pampered, over-protected Wilder demanded ANOTHER voluntary.

              Wilder is afraid to fight Povetkin, and is waiting for him to get a bit older.
              well that worked with klit wilder waited him out

                Wow, this thread is pathetic. The guy laid it all out showing it was indeed Povetkin who pushed the fight back and requested an extension, and you still have people blaming Wilder.

                I'm not surprised though, this site is filled with idiots and biased people. But then again what do you expect from posters like Freedom. SMH

                      Povetkin fought Wach in early November, the craven Wilder is using this as an excuse to avoid him. Povetkin would be ready for February or March, except the pampered Wilder wants another THIRD voluntary in January to delay it several months longer.
