    If this forum is any indication, Wilder should rematch Dustin Nichols. It seems people love them some Dustin Nichols. :lol:

    Wilder/Nichols II: Unfinished Business $79.99 only on PPV!

    Wlad, Povetkin, it's gonna come down to who makes the richest offer to Haymon.

    Povetkin's manager has said Wilder's team is trying to get out of the fight but they have assurances from the WBC that Wilder will no longer be allowed to take yet another voluntary and to have 30 days to make a deal beginnings in October.

    Povetkin has a lot of money. I'm not sure Haymon can come up with the funds to pay Povetkin off. Wilder ko'd by 3rd

    Plus Wlad already has the real WBA belt. Chaggy just has the poor man's version, which Wlad cannot get by rules.

    Might have lol.
    He was fighting scared against Bowe. A complete bundle of nerves, and still managed to rock him before folding under Bowes pressure.

    lol

    More like... Wilder fakes injury... delays bout..

    then relinquishes the wbc belt in order to keep padding
    his record with Dustin Nichols type opponents trying
    to beat Rocky Marcianos record!! lmao

    It'll be all Alabama fights broadcast live on USA networks!!
    They'll dig up more Butterbean KO victims for Beyonce
    Wilder to feast on...

    Of course the public will fall for the never ending hype train!!

    lol

    lmao

    Nichols would have to drop 200 pounds to get
    down to only 341 pounds...

    He'd be light on his feet tho dancing around Wilder
    doing his Muhammad Ali shuffle...

    Nichols KTFO Wilder in 1

    He won't face either one.

    He already refused 10 millions to fight Povetkin. Why should he change now? He's so delusional he even seems to refuse money, just to not face someone dangerous.

    And he's wrong, because he actually have a decent chance of beating Povetkin, who can't fight tall opponents.

    Wladimir would be destruction. But a unification bout would sell a lot, especially in America.

    Still he made clear he wants no part of Wlad.

    It's crazy, but he might even drop the belt, following his latests interviews.

    I think it's Wlad. He has mentioned him a few times in the past.

    If they are saying the Wlad vs. Fury fight is ~$30 million then Wlad vs. Wilder might be worth $40-50 million.

    Let's be conservative and say it's $40 million. I think Wlad would accept 50-50 like he did with Iggy & Haye.

    $20 million in Wilder's pocket.

    Wow, the Fury fight is 30mil? Hadn't heard that. UK fighters can usually sell a bit better than comparable US fighter right now, but Wilder's belt might take it too that level or above I guess. I don't think Wlad should have to take 50/50, but if it becomes necessary for the fight to happen, I hope he will.

    Good post, btw.

    I agree that he's got enough left in the tank, but if it means staving off Potvetkin for another 4 months.......:think:think:think

    And ya gotta admit that Chagaev, even prime, would be at a huge stylistic disadvantage against Wilder. :think

    Nichols would be a corpse. Why should he drain himself?:-(
