Too ready? There have been black champions ever since they let black fighters fight for the hvw title.
Weird to not have a fight set for Wilder by now, will they wait on Povetkin? I bet FW and Haymon are talking numbers to see if they can reach what Fury would make in a fight against Wlad K.. That's probably the fight whey are seeking, one that Wilder has a good chance to win, it's a big money fight, but FW will not decline the Klitschko payday for less. Wilder's team will certainly not want to miss out on the Povetkin 10 million payday fight or the Klitschko unification payday that can pay even more. IMO, Briggs is an easy fight, should bring a nice payday, makes the most sense for now. T. Thompson and Glazkov are much more worthy but much tougher matchups . Szpilka, Parker, Martin, Charr, Cunningham, Price, Browne, Chagaev are also decent names if nothing better can be worked out.
LOL I'd LOVE, LOVE to see Wilder forced to fight Povetkin. A ready, motivated and in shape Povetkin is a different animal than a sickly Stiverne. Heck it's a different animal than Stiverne at his best. Povetkin combos him and Wilders toothpick legs give out before the 6th
