Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Explains Decision To Bring Wilder To Russia

[Strive 4 Truth]

lets really look at his resume..at 36 mind you..wilder has 6 more years to even really compare but lets break it down
so lets go threw his opponent selection
perez was not a selected opponent..MANDATED
huck...a former cruiser that had no business fighting for a belt in his first fight at hw...and POVETKIN LOST!- u dont get credit for that
takam...VERY GOOD BY POVETKIN! LOVED THE FIGHT WANT A REMATCH AS WELL...
wach...just some wladimer klit opponent that the world is not fond on and has done nothing in his boxing career or am career
rahman- lol he got blasted for diggin up this guy's remains
boswell- how in goods name is he better than dupah?? duhap has beaten charr and went ten with a juiced up teper and showed much diversity to his game..not to mention i told ppl he would be a tough fight for wilder bc he more complete
wawrzyk- the man was fight 10 rounders the fight before and 8 rounders every since after...he was never a world class opponent just another dug up wach witha padded record
klit- a fight wilder wants and other hw wants...a mandated fight that povetkin held off for years
chageav- MANDATED...HUCK WENT 12 ROUNDS..BUT NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN pov's STOPPING CHINS LIKE PEREZ WITH ONE PUNCH...HAHAHAHA..LOVE HOW I JUST KILLED YOU...chagaev just proved chinny rcently and vs klit...

so basically in 36 years after being a boxer for all of his life unlike wilder..povetkin has a B minus resume when it comes to guys he SELECTED at best...and every

TRUTH BE TOLD I'D TAKE MALIK SCOTT OVER EVERYONE ON THAT RESUME EXCEPT KLIT...AND we saw them rob scott when he was on his way to klit and looking like themost skilled hw in the world at the time...btw wilder ko'd him with aleft in one round...foh

Opinions opinions opinions, so say the fight happens. Wilders loses, will you still make excuses why he lost? What if he gets koed? Surely if it goes to the cards and povetkin wins you will cry robbery either way. How will you justify a ko loss? Povetkin not clean, had something in his gloves, rabbit punch? You have made nothing but excuses for Wilder so far, hey may the best man win. If Wilder wins good for him he earned it, but he should keep going forward and quit fighting guys that are supposed to lose. How can people honestly defend what Wilder has done so far but then, rip apart GGG or Kovalev? If Wilder wasnt ready he should have never fought for that WBC title that Stiverne never should of had in the first place.

Bernard beat Dawson I wasn't aware of that , I think Adonis blasted him out in 1 round

Adonis did yes, and on paper that looks impressive. Look under the surface, Dawson was previously koed by Ward after moving down to 168. Look at pics of Dawson before Ward and post Ward. Dawsons career ended in that Ward fight. Hes had trouble making weight, much less winning. But you are correct its on paper.

i'm actually very happy about this. Wilder has had many gifts in his career, he will have to earn this win.

I keep telling you tiliheels, the Huck fight was in GERMANY, not Russia.

At a recent big show in Russia, 2 hot Russian prospects, Kudryashov and Chakhakiev, were both KO'd by visiting African fighters.

The ref treated the Africans fairly, the crowd took the disappointment of seeing their heros getting KTFO without any bad reaction and nobody tried to stitch anybody up with fake PED results afterwards.

and i've todl u i feel the same way about russia and germany combined..it is not about political powers...it is incompetance, easier to manipulate due to less public eye....and most important povetkin is shady and lazy and thiis is confirmed byh his own former trainer...we saw the shadiness in the huck fight..and we now see he's not so lazy if u know wat i mean....
more importantly than location, u have to talk a man's background and priors...povetkin is 2 fights away from being on canelo's level when it comes to foul play..
he made germany his stomping ground..

im going to watch the fight and call it how i see it....and i havent made any excuse for wilder...THESE ARE THINGS I'VE SAID ABOUT POVETKIN EVEN LEADING UP TO THE PEREZ FIGHT..and im surely not a fan of perez after he lost me money with jennings!..and stop making it racial..i fux with kovalev...but GGG contradicts himself every time he talks..154 for floyd but scared of 155 for nelo...if u can count to 10 u can count to 9 ya dig!

was scoot supposed to loose? stiverne?? u mad that he fought spilka since another top 10 hw dropped out??? makes no sense..give him hell for dupah and moline..FINE...but recognize he was looking for top 10 his last fight and they ran like b1tches.

if we do see shadiness from povetkin i'd like for ppl to call it out so i dont have to...enough of him already..the man literally had to cheat a cruiserweight bc he was so fat and puffy...but now he's 36 and lean and mean lol i wonder why...

How can you make statements like that then get on GGG for wanting to fight for his divisional title at the traditional weight that the title is fought in? Cotto and Canelo have made a very bad trend for a weight class that has so much history. What is wrong with offering to fight Floyd at 154? No way Floyd comes up, Floyd wouldnt even fight Canelo at 154, had to drain him also. 155 for the MW title is atrocious and should not be allowed period. There are weight class for a reason, catchweights have been abused terribly.

Say what you want about Wilders choices of opponents. How can you convince someone that he wanted to fight a top ten but they all ran, when guys in the top 40 were willing to fight him? Wilder wanted Arreola, who knew himself he couldnt make a fight of it anymore. Wilder wants his easy plain and simple. Has a ways to go to prove otherwise.

I think it's cool. It's like Balboa going into Moscow to do Drago dirty.

When Wilder ices Povetkin in front of his home crowd, that'll be gratifying.

AND STILL!!!!!

this fight is entirely depending on Povetkin. If the good P Shows, Beyonce is dead, if not who knows what can happen.

Wilder is really an awful HW.

"And we needed to create the right conditions to help Alexander is this battle"

Translation: We need Alexander to use his legal peds in russia.

Get ready to use that excuse, because povetkin will be on the canvas and you will be looking for excuses.
