It's a shame that Povetkin will knock bum squad out before the Furious One has a chance to expose him.

LOL
That's why they requested all those voluntaries

wilder was the mandatory challenger for 2015 and fought for the title in january 2015 (he ended up winning). mandatories are usually due once a year, meaning the next mandatory was due in january 2016.

over the summer, the WBC ordered negotiations to begin in october for a fight to take place in december or january.

wilder agreed and took a fight in september so he could commence negotiations in october.

povetkin violated the order and took a fight in november, only to then claim he wouldn't be ready to fight for the title in december or january.

so wilder took another voluntary.

povetkin is the one that delayed the fight. all of this is easily verifiable fact.

That's what I've said for a while now. It will be a huge upset if Wilder flails his way outta his Judgement Day. Povetkin is no bum, is sturdy, keeps improving. Meanwhile Wilder is clueless for 3-4 rounds... perfect opportunity for Pov to make him go to Snoozeland.

And for the Wildiots, Povetkin already had Wach scheduled when Wilder finally said yes. Povetkin just made him cool his heels a bit. Fairplay.

Very sharp and accurate analysis. I bow before your boxing expertize. You are clearly Emmanuel reincarnated.

So glad it's happening. I really don't know who wins but I'll be happy with any result as long as it's emphatic. Wilder has been a fun ride but I'm pretty sure all of us are at least half-expecting that one day a solid shot is going to cause him to fall through the canvas. Would make for great TV and nonstop chatter from fans. If he KO's Povetkin, then we may be on the verge of witnessing the emergence of two new heavyweight stars in Wilder and Fury. Throw in a big Joshua win a few weeks earlier and maybe, just maybe, some of you will cut the boxing is dying chatter and get with the program. The sport is close to a resurgence.
