    So, let me get this straight.

    If he fights him early in 2016 like hes said all along he would, is it still considered a duck?

    As expected, Wilder is going to try and make as much money as he possibly can before finally running into a serious challenge and take off.

    Manhandling isn't boxing. You can't manhandle your way through a fight.

    Wlad did. Thats why a rematch should have been ordered. The first result should have been ruled a no contest.

    Cops are cowards holding guns.

    They'd be happy to oblige anyone who doesn't ask how high when they say jump.

    You get in the ring and it's a fight, not some ballet dance. Yes wlad used dirty tactics, but all top fighters have used the dark arts in some form or another as much as the ref allows - Be it holding, headbutts, elbows, running, smothering.

    Floyd does it
    Ward does it
    Hopkins does it
    Lewis use to do it

    **** happens, and povelkin isn't getting the rematch. Hes better off pursuing that fraud Wilder

    Wilder is a coward for hitting a woman and inviting some internet troll to his gym to beat down.

    The cops would give him a taste of his own medicine.

    And I'm sure you wouldn't be calling them cowards when you have to call them when someone is trying to break into your home because you can't defend/protect yourself.

    Those guys don't exploit it to the level Wlads has and they don't have massive advantages like Wlad has.

    Wlads behaviour is definitely more of a type of dancing than fighting.

    The tango dance. He can't fight. The other can.

    He can't fight yet he has one of the best ko percentages in heavyweight boxing history!

    The only massive advantage wlad has his is height. He's hardly being pumped full of Captain America serum to be going on as if, every time he steps in the ring with someone it's a handicap match.

    The purse bid is scheduled for October and the fight must take place by early 2016. Povetkin can always ask to have the purse bid moved up if that's a problem for him.

    Povetkin should have a stay busy fight with Dimitrenko. It's always been very clear he wasn't getting Wilder this year.

    Dimitrenko could knock him out. Much better technically and not as bad a chin, too.

    Apparently Povetkin will have a tune up in November.

    For how long could Wilder theoretically duck Povetkin before getting stripped?
