Why Do People Pretend That Wilder Wasn't Signed to Fight the #2 HW in The World.....

[Kigali]

its not just povetkin

he has fought nothing but bums in the past

Vlad has been KO'd by bums.

[-PBP-]

You can't name many heavies that don't have a garbage resume...it's a garbage division.

AJ and Ortiz just fought his leftovers...yet Wilder is the only one with the garbage resume.

That is true but Wilder is an American fighter that is signed with Al Haymon so naturally, he is held to a higher standard given the bar that was set by the great American fighters of the past.

[The Big Dunn]

oh right just like ortizs last fight against allen was on hbo....oh wait no thats not an exclusive deal like ggg's. he can fight wherever he wants.

Hence he OWES HBO a fight.

The bar is set higher for all US fighters...regardless of weight class and manager.

It's set higher because they know we're the best.

it's sad when Wladimir Klitschko is 41 years old and is about to fight one of the best heavies coming from a loss and being inactive for over a year

yet you justify wilder fighting another can

The old switcheroo....

Vlad has been KTFO by cans....in his PRIME

[daggum]

You don't understand how the sport works.

HBO passed on an Ortiz fight, but he still owes them another fight. They would not pass on Ortiz-Wilder, therefore, that fight can't happen until Ortiz fulfills his obligation to HBO.

you are claiming that hbo has right of first refusal over ortiz yet they dont even have that with crawford. doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

Wilder was about to fight one of the best heavies on his own turf. But it didn't happen because said fighter needed PEDs to stand a chance.

yet you praise Wlad and criticize the Bronze Bomber for reasons discussed in the poll results.

[therealpugilist]

Why do you pretend like it overshadows the other bums he's fought as if it's Povetkin's fault that he chose Wrazdyk or Szpilka or Arreola or Molina.

It's such a girly attitude to deflect his piss poor resume on Povetkin. Yes he pulled out, yes he's on PEDs. What's Wilder going to do about it? Keep fighting bums or fight some actual contenders?

you have to be a complete idiot to think a fighter gets in their with a top guy after two surgeries.....on the same arm...

use common sense

after this fight he'll be in their with someone with a belt or top guy...mark my words
