What happens if he doesn't fight Povetkin next? What if he vacates? Will you change your opinion on him?
No, we'll admit that in the event he takes Potvetkins power, or otherwise neutralizes it and wins, that he's the best HW on the planet. If he gets starched in 6 rds or less, we'll have our answer as to what we ALMOST ALL believe to be true, that his team had been hiding his glass jaw for almost 7 yrs, by fighting hasbeens, nobodies, and fall guys. FFS, can't ppl enjoy EU/Russian/UK fighters, without being racist? I rather enjoy watching David Haye, and think he's finally in a position to take control of the HW division, that is, if he can finally get active. Will it happen.....IDK, but fighting DeMori, a dangerous puncher, in his first fight back, was at least proof he is trying to climb the ladder, much moreso than Andre Ward who STILL hasnt yet to commit to fighting a semi-viable contender in Barrera. Also, I was rooting for Martin to beat GIFTKOV who was gifted a DRAW against Scott, whom Im a fan of. Also, Im a fan of Eddie Chamber, though I believe he's pricing himself out of good fights, and his refusal to fight other Philly area HWs is getting on my nerves.:huh
IF he beats Potvetkin, that's the WINNING TOUCHDOWN. No moving GOALPOSTS you moron. He'll have the best win to date of the other HW titlists/CHAMPION(FURY) b/c Furys win over Wlad was vs an ancient timid fighter, whereas Wilder will be fighting a slightly past prime, but still very viable top 5 HW who won't be coming to play patty cake like Wlad did vs Fury and likewise. :nono
i like wilder but he needs to fight povetkin for legacy and to silence his critics i dont think its wilder i think it is haymon who will decide if the fight goes ahead if he loses the purse bids. wilder needs to overule him. wilder got poor numbers v spilzka and needs a fighter in the opposite corner who fans / nuetrals /haters / think has a chance to beat him to draw an audience. i think wilder has been about 60 to 1 on combined v his last 3 opposition and fights with foregone conclusions (spilzka surprised me he fought very well and better than i had seen him )are not draws except for die hards. if wilder fights to a gameplan even in russia / IMO he beats povetkin without taking to much in return and would prove himself / if he vacates and fights martin he will be derided by hardcore fans and would need a big american name to quickly step up and fight him to placate fans and at the moment i see no one able to do that. looking at the rankings with money in mind fury /klitchko are tied up /joshua not ready / ortiz to risky for to little money parker is a very good prospect but as far as i know not huge money behind him yet so IMO that leaves povetkin as where the big cash is at present so its a win /win for wilder if he takes the fight recognition /big money / wipe out doubters and he can say he walked the walk and be justified in saying so .
Let me spell it out for you since you're being a belligerent idiot. If he knocks Povetkin out, you'll move to the next threat against him, Ortiz, or Fury, or Wlad if he wins the rematch, then AJ or Parker or whoever else is out there. I doubt you or other Wilder's detractors will give him any credit. This is what haters do, move the goal posts. I would not have a problem admitting I'm wrong, I have been saying from the beginning that Wilder ko's Povetkin. Been watching Povetkin since he barely beat the smallish Fast Eddie Chambers, he is not a scary fighter. All Wilder has to do is take it to him, it really is that simple.
Since I just wrote an article talking about why Wilder beats Povetkin with relative ease, yeah I'll be slightly annoyed.
it depends how it unfolds dude, you sound like your in a rush to have others start hating on him :smoke
why would he vacate the belt for Povetkin he"s not a threat he's a short HW in a tall mans game alot of top 10s can beat povetkin not to mention povetkin has to ko wilder for the win he cant let it go The distance. If wilder finishes the fight on his feet he win rather he deserve it or not he the champ
Povetkin isn't nearly as fun to watch as the AMERICAN Wilder....but you're giving that shi.t eating foreigner a lap-dance. I wonder why that is?
