            Whoever he chooses, the WBC will put in the top 15 anyway.
            I don't understand how it can be circumvented ! So the WBC ok we know they will reshuffle the pack accordingly but where does it state he can take an optional defence outside the top 15 ?

            Hougigo said yesterday that the committee gets together to ok it if it is in the top 20, now you're saying top 40 ?

            The WBC have guys like Parker outside the top 15 and are allowing their champion to fight literally anybody he wants, the levels they plummet are a joke. All will be forgiven if a unification comes before the Povetkin mandate, surely Haymon has promised them big money if it comes to fruition. I see no other explanation to them allowing these joke defences.

                Well there it is, it's basically we have these rules but we can get together and change them on a whim ! Their really isn't any more to it is there.

                With Haymon and his finances anything is possible and bs walks.

                Hopefully this is just a one off and we get straight into action after this one. I can't see Povetkin fight happening, anybody else actually think that fight goes ahead ?

                  The Povetkin fight will happen in early 2016. Wilder's people recognize that he's in way over his head with Povetkin and are procrastinating the fight as long as possible in an effort to get him more experience.

                    I absolutely think the fight happens.... right after he talked all this trash about having the most important/prestigious belt in boxing. If he dumped that to avoid the fight...or even a PBC belt, he just looks like a straight bitch
