Hopkins is 50, and I have never known him for postponing a fight due to injury. Ever. :nono Holyfield was diagnosed with a hole in his heart. He got it patched took some aspirin, and was back in the ring two weeks later. The Russian Oligarchs are crooks, thieves and mobsters, not to be confused with a Harvard economics mastermind.
i agree with the mosely and holyfield ****ogy. holyfield fought qawi after just 11 fights and fought tough his whole career. mosely a truly brilliant lightweight moved up when he had no need but deontay is a 35 fight veteran and needs to step up his comp.
Didn't Huck get knocked out on Spike TV at cruiserweight. Here we go again with folks creating these supermen in their mind, Povetkin is no superman, he's no Mike Tyson either.
I don't see any indication that the fights you want won't happen in 2016. Wilder is fighting frequently. Everything is building towards the big matchups and quickly. The chatter collectively is just whining at this point.
The WBC did not force Povetkin to fight Wach. Blame Povetkin for making that fight so late in the year when negotiations were ENFORCED for October by the WBC. You Wilder haters are pathetic. Heads buried deep in the sand refusing to acknowledged the reality.
i like wilder , but 33 of his 35 fights have been against cannonfodder and the malik scott looked for a nice soft resting place on the canvas from a blocked half hearted right hand not wilders fault /his promoters have been ultra protective of him with wilder we still do not know what we have with him despite him being heavyweight champ and 35-0. i think he has more to offer and can be/is a good fighter but he is definatly not proven Yet.
:hey Wilder often awakes at night in a cold sweat that he gets knocked out in a Dustin Nichols rematch and the Gravy Train is over... :yep Buffet Squad :burger
Povetkin is on some special Russian juice. He is bigger now than he was a couple years ago. Wilder is smart to stay away from him right now.
Huck beat Povetkins ass, and got shafted. A ****en cruiserweight beat a top hvw's ass. Don't water it down. Watch the fight...
I agree, but look at Povetkin then and look at him now. He has a V shaped back now with much bigger upper back and shoulders now. His arm muscles are bigger also. Something is up with Povetkin.
So what?? So Povetkin had a hard day at the office....he has moved on and gotten some convincing wins and deserves his next title shot without further delay.
Sconiers, ranked #600 and pure tomato can, beat Wilders ass. Nichols dropped him with his famous check jab. Huck would beat Wilder as well.
