    Wilder will plead to the WBC he wants to "stay active" and he will face another guy we've never heard of. Book it.

    Of course WBC will. Another top 20 or 30 fighter. Someone like Wach or Mansoor, or they may even tempt Cunningham to add few pounds and take the fight.

    Povetkin will have a chance to appeal.

    Let's see how long the fight is postponed. I'm not sure the WBC will suspend Povetkin over this. If they do grant Wilder yet another voluntary it has to be against a good opponent or all non biased fans will lose complete interest in him at this point. He's in his 30's now with nearly 40 fights and his record looks more like Peter McNeely's than Mike Tyson.

    Wilder's fans are amongst the worst in world sport. Why? Because they know he's **** and still continue to defend his can crushing, call girl strangling career.

    1 .- Alexander Povetkin (Russia)
    2 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)
    3 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria) EBU
    4 .- Johann Duhaupas (France) SILVER
    5 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
    6 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand) OPBF
    7 .- Andy Ruiz (Mexico) NABF
    8 .- David Haye (GB)
    9 .- Bryant Jennings (US)
    10 .- Malik Scott (US)
    11 .- Artur Szpilka (Poland)
    12 .- Eric Molina (US)
    13 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)

    Only one of them is a top 10 fighter in the division that he has fought. ABC top 10 doesn't mean they are a top 10 Heavyweight. You should know this.

    I hear Wilder might be cranking up a "bum of the month" tour

    What? He's the WBC champion. Those are the WBC contenders. That's the pool of contenders he's supposed to choose from unless he gets permission from them to fight someone else.

    Just like WBA champs choose WBA contenders. WBO champs choose WBO contenders.

    Who some magazine or website ranks as the top heavyweights means absolutely nothing in the way the sport is run. They have as much authority as fantasy sports ratings.

    Yeah. He should fight all the guys Povetkin has been facing. Mariusz Wach. Manuel Charr. Mike Perez. World beaters like them.

    :roll:

    Who is the "legit" top 10 exactly? There are a half-a-dozen of those as well.

    Well, he should be allowed to fight. It's not his fault Povetkin was on PEDs.

    Who knows for how long Povetkin will be suspended. Why should Wilder wait on Povetkin's suspension? He shouldn't.
