    He waits until November for his "tuneup" knowing that the mandatory is due in January. Then he has someone get on a plane to fly all the way to China to tell the WBC he cannot fight in January and asks for more time.

    Soon as Wilder announces he's fighting another voluntary defense in January (since Povetkin isn't available) and that's locked in, he says he's ready to fight Wilder.

    But that's not the big deal.

    He comes all the way to the U.S. to be at ringside for Wilder-Szpilka and sits on his duff and watches Tyson Fury step into the ring and steal his thunder. Does NOTHING to promote the idea of a showdown with Wilder or to challenge the WBC champ.

    Presumably he slumps off quietly into the night and sneaks off to the airport to get out of town without saying a word. Most of the major boxing press was at the fight, and he doesn't take advantage.

    He's not an alpha male. He's a beta.

    "presumably". If he's a beta, what does that make you.

    Well we have to presume because he was so beta-ish that he slunk away without anyone noticing. Probably while Wilder and Fury were on center stage.

    Sasha is quiet but serious the total opposite of Fury,plus he probably speaks no English so what do you expect.

    He could have had his manager or someone translate. Not hard to find someone who speaks Russian and English in NYC.

    Of course not but it doesn't quite have the same effect does it now. Maybe he could hire a mime too that puts up "his dukes" lot of them in NY

    Russians and eastern Europeans as a whole are generally stoic and the Polar opposite of the loud gob****es in America

    You're the kind of moron that would call Vito Corleone a beta based on his behaviour too. Just when I thought yanks couldn't be any dumber.

    He's a beta because he doesn't make a clown to himself.

    Maybe it works that way in the jungle you live in

    Actually screaming on the top of your lunges and acting like a phony "g" is the culprit of a beta trying to act alpha

    he could have grabbed the mic and chimed in that he agreed with the gypsy king's assessment of Wilder, just for laughs. 'he is bum, da'
