To hell with Wilder, who ought to be behind Povetkin and Jennings in the line for the belt anyway. It wouldn't be a duck for Stiverne to face Povetkin now. And surely the Russians are in a position to offer Stiverne a more lucrative contract then he would get vrs. any other fighter, including even Klitschko. It would be an excellent fight for the fans. Stiverne is more experienced and tactically astute than Takam so it could be an even tougher fight for Povetkin. If the Stiverne fight can't be made would it be possible to lure Jennings to Moscow?
The manager said they already choose next opponent. I think it's either Cunningham, Glazkov or Huck rematch
I am with you on this one and hope the fight gets made. That would be a worthy title fight, unlike the joke with Wilder.
If Adamek beats Spika next that's the fight that makes most sense. Or else another easy money fight against another name fighter with decent rankings like Fury.
Yea but today's Adamek has no chance against Povetkin, Glazkov beat him pretty badly. Or maybe Arreola next? The manager said it would be a well-known name at HW.
I think Povetkin v Wilder will not go more than 2 rounds, it is not that Povetkin is that big of a hitter, but as soon as he connects with that left of his Wilder will go down for the count. I am not a huge fan of Povetkin, but Wilder is just that terrible he has absolutely no chance against any of the top heavyweights.
Adamek has no chance against Povetkin, correct. But it's a business and an easy sell. Fighters don't fight for free.
Povetkin is a WBC Silver champ, good position to be in, I think the Russians have enough money to lure in known name HW to Moscow: Arreola, Glazkov, Adamek, maybe Lucas Browne?
Cunningham would be good fight. Really is a shame wilder is the #1 contender whether or not he wins is immaterial. His resume is totally undeserving. Povetkin in his last two fights alone in Charr and Takam has defeated two opponents both better than anyone in Wilder's whole career. Sad
