Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager Will Not Allow Povetkin To Dictate Ring Size

I'm not even sure why ring size is even up for debate. Why is ring size negotiable? That kind of stuff seems like it should be written in stone by the commission.

100%. There should be a standard ring size, padding in that ring, gloves, etc. There should be a universal setup for a professional boxing match from the 4 rounders up to the biggest fights.

This dude fight for a living. His soul occupation is punching a guys lights out, Coward is the last word I would describe him as.

Look at her list of opponents again. Their record and what they were ranked when she fought them. Then you can come back and reply, BUM SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Because he has to keep a guy like Povetkin at distance to use his height and reach well.(if he can) Boxing basics dude....i think there should be a standart for title-fights. Povetkin beats Wilder anyway, a bigger ring wont make a big difference.

Lets just get the minimum sized ring by WBC rules and get the fight on! hahahaha

As long as they don't force Wilder to fight on a trampoline wearing pillows for gloves that don't even fit properly....he should be fine

[LoadedWraps]

Just make sure there is enough room for Wilder to be laid out in the horizontal position

(kidding!!!)

I'm just happy to see the fight - Povetkin didn't really look that great against Wach, but he has the pedigree that makes it seem like he should be the 'better' fighter... but Deontay has come along. I'm starting to feel comfortable with him in the ring, it still looks awkward and he's still raw, but overall he seems to have a better footing now, I trust him. He still not "the man" but if he wins this it would go a long way. And it's overseas, good for him

Wilder is risking his title and home field advantage, at least let him have the ring size. I think that's fair.

"Wilder's Manager Will Not Allow Povetkin To Dictate Ring Size"

Translation: Football field sized ring, complete with a 'Safe Zone' that Wilder can hide in and Povetkin can't enter unless he has exact change. IOW Wilder will run for his life for the first 3 rounds til he finally wakes up. Won't matter. He's going down, flat on his face, OWWWWIIITTTT. It would be great if Povetkin's people bring Wilder some pink one-piece little girl pajamas complete with built in footies and a poo pshoot in the back... just to wear for the occasion.

it was kind of a rhetorical question, but you would assume that someone like wilder will want a normal size ring with that KO ratio of his. they sound insecure to me. it's always the big puncher the one that wants a smaller ring, and that's all wilder is, a big puncher, a tall one, but still, a big puncher.

I see it this way as well.

Ese man tiene miedo. Uno no pide cuadrilatero de talla grande al menos que va a correr o a quedarse defensivo.

beyonce wilder needs to man up no excuses boy.
