Comments Thread For: Povetkin Taking Wilder Seriously, Ready To Go To America

[yoz]

Wilder and Haymon will delay this as long as possible. After the joke of a defence, coming up, we'll see them go after the winner of Glaskov-Martin.

Hopefully the WBC, for once, will enforce the mandatory.

Of course he has only had 15 fights and now he will step up to a world level ...but the sort of power and speed he possesses is on a very high level....even the way he finsihed whyte with the uppercut inside is not of some normal heavyweight...takes tremendous timing and skill for 247 pound fighter to do that...he took his best shot as well and whyte would beat quite a few decent heavyweights for sure....my money is on Joshua to reach the very top 100 percent

Hes verry stiff he has to work on his body-movement. Maybe hes lifting to mutch weights and is stiff as a result. If he would move his head more he would be harder to hit too. His footwork needs some work as well.

Wilder took up boxing late. He won a bronze medal with barely any amateur background and beat a fighter for a title in the pros. Again.... He took up the sport late. So why the hate for wilder and the love for Jennings?

Because Jennings actually challenges himself with legit opponents despite starting boxing later than Wilder with even less amateur experience. Some people consider that a more respectable approach to the sport than padding your record with hand-picked opponents while avoiding the top competition.

Why the hate for Fury? That's a better question.

I think Stivere is better than Jennings and Fury but we all know Wilders opponents don't count. While everyone else gets double credit no matter who they fight.

So you think a man who acted as a punching bag for Wilder is a better fighter than the man who just outboxed the greatest heavyweight of the last ten years? I must say, that takes a special breed of idiot to even conceive of that.

Love the whiny little victim routine you did afterwards though. Really the cherry on the icing.

About time....

Wilder beats jenning because he has power and reach where is jenning is a good boxer who lacks the killer punch and also lacks physical size to compete with the top heavies...that will be the difference between the 2 if they faced off.....but kafkod it's all irrelevant in the end because joshua whips fury and wilder by the end of next year .....I have not met another Englishman who said fury looked good or the fight with klitchko was worthy of a world title fight....everybody I know says it was terrible

Yeah, a lot of English boxing casuals are complete idiots. That's nothing new. The fight wasn't entertaining for them therefore it must have been a terrible achievement, whereas Joshua gets rocked by a domestic fighter before knocking him out and he's a world beater. Needless to say, anyone who holds this sort of mindset is continually going to come up against rude awakenings. And if they have the stones to bet money on their predictions they're going to find themselves badly out of pocket as well.

Fury got dropped a by a cruiserweight you inbred *****...also wobbled himself with his own uppercut lol..I am far from a boxing casual mongo...in fact I boxed for 10 years and everybody that is in the know consider fury a walking joke...a sham....a Aprils fool....I don't know any boxing casuals just other knowledgeable boxing fans lol...so try again.....fury will not hold onto to the belt more than a year and when if he does have the nerve to meet johua in a year or so time he will get smashed to pieces and this my friend I will write to you and say put your money where your mouth is...we will wait lol

Tried to make a fight with top 10 rated Glazkov but he backed out

The above just isn't true. You Wilder fanboys need to stop telling falsehoods. Glazkov's people had a verbal agreement with Wilder's handlers, well out from the fight date. Wilder's people said they would send a contract. Glazkov's people then waited, and waited. And didn't get the contract. Then, when they finally get the contract, it isn't what the parties had previously verbally agreed to. Wilder's handlers then play more games, at which point, it is closer than 8 weeks out. When Wilder's handlers finally send the contract that was more along the lines of what had initially been agreed to, Glaskov wouldn't have had time for a full camp, so his people said ****, that. They could just go fight for the IBF belt stripped from Fury. The sole purpose of all the shenanigans in the first place was to stop the opponent from having a full camp, and full preparation. Wilder is one protected SOB. And now he is fighting the small Polish Cruiserweight from Chicago.

He ain't that stiff and if you look at the speed he actually jumps on opponents with...it's frightening....for example fury might be loose but his technique is awful...when Joshua has a fighter hurt I suggest you look how quick he throws his punches in combinations.....he is never going to be light on his toes as his size will not allow that but footwork is solid and when he learns to cut the ring off better he will be a difficult fighter to beat.....Joshua has had only 15 fights and yet I guarantee you he would beat the bottom five in the top ten with ease....when your watching him your just seeing his bulk and muscles but I watch him with the way he puts his punches together and when he hurts a fighter he finishes him....next year your see Joshua become the heavyweight to beat in the division....but let's wait and see how your view and my view pans out...be prepared that's all I'm gonna say ...HNY :-)

I personally think Stiverne is very overrated. There's no way I can believe Stiverne beats Tyson Fury. Jennings, possibly, but even then I somewhat doubt it.

I've never thought of Stiverne as a top 5 heavyweight, hell, even a top 10. He dies to Povetkin, Wilder already beat him, no way in hell does he beat Klitschko or Fury, Ortiz destroys him, AJ could probably beat him now, and so forth...
