    Burger Squad will be stripped or vacate before facing an above average puncher. Look at what that feather fisted pastry did his face and Molina rocking hI'm and almost got him out of there before that. Nichols/Sconiers.. Yeah......

    I agree, they should strip Wilder and make Povetkin vs. Wach an interim title fight. Sounds like a good solution to this ducking mess.

    By the rules Wilder has until May to fight Povetkin that is when he became the mandatory. No later. I just can't stand the pathetic level of opponents he is choosing. It's downright shameful. If the WBC said he can't fight another voluntary than if he chooses to fight the belt won't be on the line. If he loses it will become vacant. He'll go to the back of the line to fight for it again as I'm sure the WBC won't be happy.

    If he will not fight povetkin, I'd like him to fight arreola, chisora or mansour

    If there's any one thing that is certain then it is the fact that Wilder will pick an opponent that 95% of us have never even heard of before.

    Fixed.

    And they'll also blow smoke up Wilder's ass for beating these bums even if he struggles against them, gets out boxed for spells, gets bashed up or badly wobbled, hurt or dropped by them too.

    They're keeping him alive and undefeated until a super pay day comes along that they can cash out on. They don't have the confidence in him to beat someone like Povetkin or Fury.

    Deontay Wilder = Modern day Tony Tucker.

    Because they say negotiating should start in octomber/november if i recall it right. It was strange as hell, but this was WBC decision....
    Then Povetkin decide to take the fight with Wach. While mor*** Wilder took 2 easy fights.

    This is disappointing. Wilder needs to step up and knock this Povetkin bum out! Can't be that hard for the Bronze Bomber, Povetkin gets dropped by jabs!

    Why not? Wilder is blatantly ducking Povetkin, this is a better fight than his last two by far. Wilder is a fraudulent paper champ anyways, he won a bogus eliminator against his featherfisted friend Scuba diva Scott after he was coming off of a stoppage lose to Chisora of all people. Even Stiverne was an undeserving champ and practically handed the belt after Vitali retired. WBC belt is a complete joke at the moment.

    Vlad's fake injury against Fury is an obvious duck.

    The only reason Wilder would delay fighting the ginger doughboy is he doesn't want to go to Bumsville Russia and take the chance of being drugged or robbed. :yep

    Which is why the fight was delayed for only a month... Yeah a 39 year old man who's been pro for almost 20 years suffering an injury while preparing a fight is so strange, and unexpected.

    Yeah ok.... He, and his management both know that the oligarchs will outbid them, they want to squeeze as much cash out Wilder in the states not abroad... They know either way he's toast, but in Russia they don't make nearly as much profit.

    The last thing Deontay Wilder and his team should do is listen to the dedicated boxing respectability brigade. There's no level of respectability that's going to satisfy hardcore boxing fans. Even if he knocked out Klitschko, there'd always be somebody else he has to fight asap.

    This notion of respectability hurt the legacy of a few of my favorite fighters like Holyfield and Mosley who got no benefits from fighting all comers. Holyfield was always compared to this mythical unbeatable Mike Tyson fantasy, and felt the need to fight every tough opponent. Ever wonder why he tried to knockout the larger Bowe? It was because of this stupid respectability and legacy **** from hardcore boxing fans. There was no need to fight Ruiz a couple more times opening himself up to being robbed, what, because of what somebody has to say, idiotic. Holyfield's reward for fighting everybody tough, is whining that he should retire after he lost a step. Hardcore fans, commentators concern trolling about his life, same for Mosley. A boxer should never listen to the hardcore, and where are hardcore boxing fans going to go anyways, they complain either way. **** these "fans", impossible to win over everybody anyways.

    Once you understand what's going on, it's very easy to ignore this chatter and see it for what it is.
