Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: That Was a Coward Move By Main Events

[bitterdickbilly]

Does that give him the right to rob Povetkin of the title and the whole boxing world of a main event?

Does that give him a right to openly duck ALL the top boxers?

Does that give him a right to unashamedly prattle on about all the top boxers he wants nothing to do with?

Povetkin bent over backwards trying to get him to fight to no avail.

I don't care if he can beat ME down, fact remains he should be stripped of his title which should be by default immediately handed to Povetkin.

Wilder is NOT a top level boxer until proven otherwise! Simple as that!

Should he fight a top level boxer, And WIN, WITHOUT any BS like extreme ill-health going on, then "I" will praise him myself. Although it wasn't Wilders fault with Stiverne, fact remains he has still never faced a decent opponent!

So far though he has shown to be very limited since and including Stiverne and also a complete coward AND highly unintelligent to really think anybody can SWALLOW such garbage!

That crap might fly in America mate but globally it is an insult to our intelligence!

#BUM SQUAD!

He couldn't even properly KO Charlie Zellenoff.

You probably stand as decent a chance as any.

Povetkin wanted the fight and took a different fight because he was being ducked and had been inactive a while. His last fight was 2 weeks after Wilder's last fight. Save the excuses. Povetkin would probably fight Wilder tomorrow.

The WBC is on record saying the opposite.

If the WBC is lying about Team Povetkin's position why isnt Team Povetkin calling them out on it and setting the record straight?

[bitterdickbilly]

She's trying to get her fighter an easier vacant belt. She's counting on Fury vacating. if he doesn't, she'll probably pull him out of that fight, too. Same **** she did with Stevenson.

She was presented with a monetary and scheduling offer which didn't agree with the interests of her company and/or client.

Funny how so many people are too thick to understand this part.

It isn't as if Glazkof was called out for a fight in his high school parking lot.

This is professional sport.

The fight should have been made weeks ago on fair terms.

[bitterdickbilly]

Idk about a coward move, but it was a business move for sure, sadly I think its a business move made to benefit Duva more than Glazkov...or maybe she gots more confidence in Glazkov than I do from seeing him vs Scott & Cunningham, two fights I felt he lost.

We don't know any details. She claimed it would have paid for her business, but would be unfair to Glazkof, insinuating that she's in for the longer term and looking out for him.

Could be just talk.

Or possibly not.

Who knows.

Does Wilder even want to fight? Anyone

Seems Wilder never actually wants to fight any top contenders that are ready for a scrap. Haymon plays games and hurts all his fighters. Wilder is confused and is getting hurt by inactivity and bu facing bums and weak opponents and making little money.

[bitterdickbilly]

Glazkov is a fraud. He's getting ktfo if he fights wilder so I'm not surprised they steered clear of him. Glazkov should have had 2 losses on his resume, how he drew with Malik Scott is beyond understanding. I thought Cunningham beat him too.

Yeah he is not really top notch competition.

That explains why Wilder wanted to fight him.

They no doubt offered him short change though.

[bitterdickbilly]

So why did Povetkin ask the WBC for more time saying that he wasn't ready?

Do you have a link, sir?

What would have paid for her business? The Wilder purse?

I think I mainly feel like the hand with Fury has been misplayed tbh. I think you get the guy a 7 digit step aside & wait to fight the best guy for another better 7 digit payday. I'm guessing Wilder wasn't offering that level of money so it makes sense to look towards Fury.

Problem is she isn't looking towards Fury she's looking towards a vacant title shot for maybe less money then Glazkov would've gotten for Wilder. Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe Glazkov just gots some nutty dream of winning "a" HW title (like Paulie's, weird to me, fascination with winning the EBU title) & being the "real" champion or getting paid the most he can get isn't important to him.

A link please, sir?

And it might be because they are in Russia and don't tend to read a lot of English language boxing gossip on the Internet.

Perhaps.

A representative for Povetkin came over to the WBC's ongoing convention in China and told the assembly today that Povetkin will not be ready for his mandatory title challenge in January, when it’s due.
