They should also force Povetkin to use VADA as per the WBC's recent new policy.

why does a KO artist like wilder need a big ring?

A 20 by 20 ring should be the standard. I'm sick of seeing guys dictate the ring size to get an advantage. I hope team Wilder isn't trying to pull wool over the fans eyes and ask for anything big than that.

Normal 20 x 20 should be the standard

co-sign. That would give all styles something reasonable to work with, and if they introduce a standard every style will adapt to any size ring because gym's would have to match the standard.... 20x20 should be about right I would think.

Ring size, glove size. Boxing is a dumb sport.

Imagine if they had to determine the court size before a tennis match.

wilder is a coward.

how? bc he wants a to be at his best and use his talents...would povetkin would be coward if he didnt want he best of deontay wilder...

Wilder afraid of fighting toe to toe? Come on dude, man the **** up.

afriad to fight at distance?? its a fight no matter wat..i wanna see the style have a fair shot at each other..enough of the bs. we know povetkin is the better inside fighter but that is not the challenge..the challenge is who is the best overall boxer

bc he boxes and lets the ko come..and he didnt say big ring im pretty sure they are fine with normal size..they just dont wan povetkin bringing in a damn cracker box

Ryabinsky won the purse bid therefore he dictates the terms.

not exactly..if he's already agreed to come to your home town then there isnt much else left to talk about..promotion is all he won, not the right for fighters to have no agreements..he can promote, televise, and set location..after that this job is done
he could make klit do RUSADA testing when he overbid to win the povetkin fight..it will be the same way...

Smaller rings --> better fights. I can't see how boxing fans can prefer bigger rings. Bigger ring = less confrontation --> less action.

I think if it is unknown who will fight then every boxing fans prefer smaller rings. Now Wilder wants a bigger ring so the fans of Wilder will want one as well.
