Deontay Wilder: I will not fight Povetkin next

the other thing that is hilarious is Tyson Fury fans bashing Wilder for not having fought anybody. And his last two opponents were Joey Abel and Christian Hammer. Wilder called him out after Haye backed down with the injury and offered to replace Haye. Yet that fight never materialized.

 

Actually, his last five matches were Christian Hammer, Derek Chisora, Joey Abell, Steve Cunningham, and Kevin Johnson. Then again, Fury isn't a champion fighting guys like Abell.

Cunningham is far more skilled than anyone Wilder has faced, by far.

 

Are you serious? Steve Cunningham?

I would have thought you'd argue Kevin Johnson or Chisora for the quality of Fury's opponents agains Wilder's. That at least has some merit even though both are ridiculously overrated they are still at least heavyweights who have fought good competition. But you are arguing for a guy whose lost seven fights and is not even a true heavyweight?

Do you people live on this planet?

 

Who on Wilder's resume would you favor over Chisora and Cunningham?

What planet are you living on?

 

Well considering Cunningham isn't even a heavyweight, a lot of them. He's lost more fights than Wilder's last two opponents combined.

I'd take Stiverne over Chisora, much better chin. Malik Scott was beating him too until the horrible stoppage.

 

So when is Wilder going to fight Povetkin?

 

Absolutely this ^ :deal

I'd like to see Povetkin get his crack at Wilder and then, assuming Wlad manages to get his belts back, I'd like to see Sasha get a second shot at Klitschko. I think Povetkin in his last few fights has been impressive and I think that he might be the guy to beat Klitschko in a fight where more than 5 punches a round are thrown.

All this stalling and dodging in boxing is getting me down

 

oh ffs atsch i need to check the dates of the posts I respond to.

Still, not much has changed.

Wilder wasn't fighting Povetkin then, and he's still dodging him now :yep

 

well with his injury

you know they are going

to milk this

they re already starting

oh my arm

oh snap my hand is broken too

 

Povetkin will be 40 by the time he gets his mandatory shot
