Comments Thread For: Wilder Frustrated With WBC, Vows 'Real Beatdown' For Povetkin

[Kigali]

I'm a huge Wilder fan but if a Povetkin fight just can't be made, it's time to pursue a quality fight. No more soft fights.

Suuuure you are.....

That is what this division has come 2... a champion that does not know how 2 punch & has a broken hand and a torn bicep & a challenger that has tested positive... a few Generations back this Wilder wouldn't have gone 4 rounds vs....Sonny Liston...

We don't have to degrade our own generation of Boxers to prove a point. We're bigger, faster and stronger. Nostalgia side, Liston gives Wilder a lot of problems with his 84" reach and Wilder goes past 4, easily.

Suuuure you are.....

Not only am I a huge fan of Wilder, I'd pick him to beat any HWT today. I don't think Fury or Wlad have the chin to stay with him. I don't think Povetkin or the big Cuban have the speed to stay with him. Joshua has the best chance and I still pick Wilder. Good enough for ya?

[MrMORENO]

Wilder need not worry about povetkin because anthony joshua will destroy deontay wilder!!!

Yea the WBC guy has dropped the ball with this decision in a huge ass way. I've been waiting for the boxing scene article where he once again announces that he'll be making a decision on this situation soon.

I think you play your hand better from the start, but for sure you make a call one way or another when WADA made their ruling that seemingly Povetkin was within acceptable limits if Ryabinsky's quotes about the amount they found in Povetkin's system are correct.

That's what I don't understand??? Why the results were released??? Someone ***ed up !!! It's like driving at .05 bac and the cop tells your boss you failed a alcohol test??? Your boss fires you. They went off WHAT was TOLD to them...So I don't blame Wilder at all.

And I DO believe Pedvetkin is a CHEAT! HEART MEDICINE???? They knew it helped and was trying take advantage of a loop hole. Which is the definition of cheating...

Better a chimp than a roach.

If he were cleared he wouldn't have been sacked...you oily little insect.

So you're denying that WADA did not clear him? WBC did not want this povetkin/wilder fight, they let Vargas/Salido fight. Explain that.

[vitali1999]

Basically what the WBC is saying is that Wilder never has to face a number 1 contender. So he'll be chump of that belt as long as he wants. BUM SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sweet_Science2]

My brother. You was about to take his head off something nasty. They tried to cheat and get caught in their own country.

I predicted you would school him worse than Crawford did Postol.

[Æthelstan]

This is just talk.

Wilder wants to fight shot boxers like Lyakhovich and Arreola.

BUMS SQUAD!!!

Shut up and keep fighting fatties and shot fighters outside the top 50.
