Wilder-Klitschko this fall for the WBC/WBA/WBO titles?

I don't think Wilder would want to fight him to be honest. In any case he will probably still have to fight Povetkin after he gets cleared.

 

Wlad even at 45 sparks Wilder.

 

Wilder has no chin, no defense, poor coordination/footwork. Wlad is becoming an old man but even at 45 he'd be in good enough shape to KO a badly flawed fighter like Wilder. It's a downhill decline once your reach you mid 30s. But Wlad probably won't change MUCH until he reaches his mid 40s. It's killers like Joshua, Parker that Wlad has to be worried about. Fury too. Wilder has nothing for him.

 

I'm talking about in the ring Sherlock. Obviously Wilder has his paper WBC belt that was handed to him on a platter.

 

Can you link a source to these negotiations? Wilder's entire career to this point has been about avoiding the most risk possible. If Povetkin loses his mando spot I think a fight with Joshua down the line is far more likely than a Klitschko fight.

 

Avoiding risk until the inevitable cash out.

It's coming soon I'm sure.....

Wlad/Fury II winner
Unification with Joshua at Wembley

 

If Wlad wins vs. Fury the smart thing would be to do a trilogy vs. Fury. Most cash, most prestige. Wilder likely will lose to Povetkin, Wlad would then unify vs. him.

Let's see Wlad win first though, it won't be easy given his age and lack of motivation.

 

You will never give him any credit, will you?

More than 70% of ESB said Stiverne would KO him in less than 4 rounds.

How was it handed to him on a silver platter?

:huh

 

I give him SOME credit. Clearly he's a lot better than I thought he'd be, and he's proven me wrong in some fights. He's beaten some ok fighters but no one great. But still... My main criticism of him still stands. He's a badly coddled fraud who steers clear of top fighters and welcomes low risk opponents. Molina, Duhaupas, and now Arreola. I give him some credit for Szpilka, although that should have been his first or 2nd voluntary defense NOT 3rd.

 

How the WBC handled things after Vitali retired was disgraceful... It didn't start with Wilder. The disgraceful tournament they had involving Stiverne, Arreola, Banks and Mitchell(they obviously desperately wanted Arreola as champ)

Then the bogus eliminator that was Wilder/Scott. What the hell did Scott do to land himself in an eliminator? He was coming off pathetic showing to Chisora, and somehow he lands himself in an eliminator for one of the mostly highly regarded belts? Dodgy to say the least.
