Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Has a Dance Card to Fill; Why Not David Haye?

[ShoulderRoll]

Wilder has no 'dance card' to fill, the Povetkin fight is not cancelled.

Povetkin is a drug cheat and needs to serve a lengthy suspension.

What about Shannon Briggs ? He has no Opponent this Weekend.
We could see if Wilder is a real champ and can perhaps stuff the mouth of that numbskull Briggs. That would be an interesting fight, indeed. I remember the pounding Briggs took at the Hands of Vitali Klitschko. Yes, he was hospitalized with a lot of damage, but he didn't go down.

I actually wouldn't mind that. If Wilder hasn't left England yet he should consider it, hop in the ring with Briggs this weekend. That way the training camp and travel expenses don't go to waste.

how in the hell can you say povetkin is a cheat and want briggs who has PED's coming out of his ears and allowed to pass the "tests"???? I am good friends with Lou Savarese and years ago he said briggs put on 40 lbs of muscle in a few months at an advanced age by juicing

He isn't, not officially either so far.

He isn't, not officially either so far.

Not officially but the facts seem clear. He tested clean 3 times with no presence of the drug in his system but then pissed hot on his most current test.

That seems to indicate that the drug wasn't in his system since his usage last year as he claims. It only recently showed up.

Haye is the last person Wilder should sign to fight next. He just had one fight postponed. He doesn't need another with Haye's inevitable pull-outs.

They need to suspend that coward drug cheat.

Haye is not going to take a fight with Wilder....Hes going for the cash and British bragging rights........Joshua.

The WBC postponed the fight, but it should be cancelled and the drug cheat Povetkin should be banned for years.

You 'everything has to be black or white' goofballs will never learn. Stay ******... it's your only style.

[PunchyPotorff]

Wilder isn't going to take a fight like Haye unless he's forced.

Ain't that the truth.

Yes id like it, but would wilder or haye?
Its similar to when Lennox was schedulded to fight Kirk Johnson and then Vitali stepped up to the plate isn't it?

Didn't mean it like that. Meant after Haye fights this weekend, they could do it next for both guys if the Povetkin issue results in no fight conclusively. Cool thinking though.
