Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Povetkin in Talks For Mandatory Clash

[MisterPullman]

I love Deontay, but this is the one fight I'm unsure of.

Wilder is the favorite and will probably win, either a brutal KO or a one-sided UD. But if Povetkin catches Wilder like Perez it might be the biggest upset of all time

I don't often say this, but..... good on the WBC.

Enforce the mandatory. Wilder (assuming he gets past this next defense) NEEDS to face someone like Povetkin. If he were to beat Povetkin convincingly, this should dispel all criticism of his not facing great opposition.

You're obviously delusional, that, or you are severely underestimating the ******ity and/or hatefulness of human beings if you think Wilder will ever get any credit for anything that he does in his career.

You only have to look at the irrational blame that has been put on him for the postponement of the povetkin fight despite the fact that both povetkin's promoter and the wbc president have already come out and said that pov's team are the ones who asked for an extention. Yet Wilder is the duck in that situation. Then you look at him still getting blame for Glazcko ducking him in order to fight for a vacant title and they still blame Wilder for that.

He knocks out Povetkin I'm sure they'll be a string of excuses and all the guys saying that Povetkin will knock him out will come out guns swinging about either ped accusations on Wilder or will outright call Povetkin an old washed up guy or a bum.

We've been here many times before, you just gotta look at Mayweather's situation if you wana understand the irrational behaviour of haters. Haters will say a guy will knock you out or beat you, then call him a bum and accuse you of cherry picking right after you beat the guy.

Wilder won't get no credit, I could literally bet my ass on it and rest assured that my ass is safe, that's how obvious it is for me.

Have you ever heard of a guy named Buster Douglas?

[_original_]

Wilder mops the floor with this guy. Fury is the man to beat and the real test for Wilder, but l want this fight just to shut everybody up.

[Nightfall]

this guy is'nt in a position to be talk like this. he better sit down and understand who he's dealing with. Al the man Haymon

[Weltschmerz]

Russian promoters are the most powerful in the World.

[Eff Pandas]

No idea what he means by big event, but I imagine a PPV mixed with his guys and Haymon guys

Yea idk what that means exactly either unless its a PPV.

Lets not be crazy now. Its a pretty even-ish fight. Maybe 60/40 one way or the other. Not gonna be a huge upset whoever wins imo.

U WOT MATE? "the biggets upset of all time"?

Jesus you're talking as if Wilder is like Tyson going into a Buster Douglas type of odds fight?

I'm guessing if the fight is in USA, Wilder will probably be a SLIGHT favorite - probably around -130 to -180, and Povetkin would be evens, or +150ish.


I'd be damn surprised if Wilder was a 2:1 favorite or better.


The way Povetkin has been looking lately... On a fooking killing spree...


Look at the competition Wilder has fought compared to Povetkin. It's ridiculous how much better comp. Povetkin has fought.

[Foreign Soil]

The problem is all that..... "scared" and "coward", rubbish.

For some reason, it seems to be human nature to project.

Apply the same standard to fighters who accuse others of having roided *****? Deontay must be shooting blanks.

I would say Povetkin is the favourite. His last 5 fights were Klitschko, Charr, Takam, Perez & Wach... Wilder has 1 guy on his resume (Stiverne) that could match any of these guys. Scott might be able to outbox Charr or Wach. It would not be an upset at all. This is a good fight...
