Povetkin just fought last month and sustained a cut over his eye. Not only is two months too quick a turn-around time for another fight, but a cut over the eye would still not be completely healed. Fury has a rematch clause that he must honor against Klitschko. Wilder is disliked because he has 35 undefeated pro fights and a belt, without ever having fought a top ten HW contender. The HW division used to be prestigious, but Wilder is clearly avoiding top contention & shaming himself & the division.

Stiverne was ranked top 10, no? And yes the 2 whole title defenses he had weren't top 10, but he also tried to fight Glazkov a top 10 guy who opted to go after the IBF after it was stripped from Fury.Povetkin just fought last month and sustained a cut over his eye.

To be fair Wilder's amateur experience is lacking, which is most likely why they chose to slowly pad his record and build his experience before going after a title, you tend to see this often with Mexican fighters with little to no am experience.I don't hate him....but it don't do him no good when he is putting other rising heavyweights down for the same thing he is actually doing....how many fights has he had compared to joshua ? Wilder has had nearly 30 odd fights and his resume sucks especially since he has won the world title...joshua has has 15 lol...wilder might think he is doing ok but the truth is he is virtually unknown in America and can't do ppv .....he realy needs to up his game in terms of profile fights because I guarantee you now...in a year or 18 months when joshua gets hold of him....he will be fade into obscurity .....wilder should not be talking like he has a resume of a PACQUAIO or MAYWEATHER because in reality it's been 98 percent against journeymen ....people in glass house shouldn't throw stones
Also I'm not sure if you're too familiar with American's boxing fans compared to the British boxing fans but the worlds are vastly different. It takes a lot for American fight fans to get behind a fighter compared to the UK where it is not unusual for fans to follow a fighters pro career from start to finish. If Anthony Joshua was American there is no way in hell his fight with Whyte would have been PPV.Comment

Yeah I understand that but if that's the case then wilder should not speak of joshua becoming a price or lacking big experience ...Joshua has only had 15 fights and already he is ranked 3 by the WBC .....also mate it wasn't just joshua and whyte that made it ppv ...the card was fully loaded with big fights all through the night.....not sure if you know but there was really bad blood between those two that helped it become ppv worthy but Hearn still had to make it a big card to warrant it so that the reason why I think...in terms of boxing the UK has always been the home of boxing to be fair and we did invent it...so when we get a good prospect or Olympic champion there's a lot of hype and following.....I went to see LEWIS fight holyfield in the garden and rematch in Vegas and over 6 thousand travelled to see him each time...really lets be fair how many US fans would travel to London to see mayweather fight ? the average American sports fan would prefer basketball or baseball to a big fight.....here I think is much different and even ufc even though it's watched here is nothing compared to a big boxing fight.....your country has created such all time great fighters that it's weird to think that the UFC is more popular than boxing now in the states...boxing is booming in the UK at the moment with over 12 world champions and you just consider that's from a population of just 65 million ....good talking buddyTo be fair Wilder's amateur experience is lacking, which is most likely why they chose to slowly pad his record and build his experience before going after a title, you tend to see this often with Mexican fighters with little to no am experience.

spilka ans stiverne are better than anyone the p4p number 1 ggg has ever faced...they guy are incoherent or racist..u pick and i wont argue with either pick..sick of this mess. they are determined to hate a manSpot on. ^^^
Wilder would have fought Povetkin but Povetkin opted to wait. He's calling out Fury yet Fury is openly dismissing him. The Joshua fight will happen as long as he keeps winning. Spilka and Stiverne are still better than anybody AJ has fought at least on paper. I honestly don't know why this guy Wilder is so hated.Comment
