Will Deontay Wilder 'duck' Alexander Povetkin?

[Szef]

I read the post, it basically says wilder is scared to fight in moscow. Wich there is no proof of . And dont call me kid, ok pal.

You asked why would Wilder go to Moscow since he's the champ...

Well, if Rabinsky wins the purse bid and chooses to have the fight in Moscow Wilder will have no choice but to fight Povetkin in Moscow.

Stop posting clueless, childish comments and maybe I will stop calling you kid, kid.

Maybe.

Wilder won't give up his title so he will fight Povetkin unless a Klitschko fight gets made.

Wilder is the champ, if the fight can be in the states with US testing I think Team Wilder will be interested.

Povetkin knows nabbing the WBC strap is his last chance at a rematch with Wlad. Wlad would never give him a rematch otherwise and he shouldn't. Povetkin was utterly destroyed in that fight.

Many people were asking the same questions about Povetkin after the Perez fight on this board so clearly people are wondering. Povetkin's best win before Wlad was Chagaev and he had plenty of his own record-padding.

I think Wilder would beat him soundly honestly. Too much reach on that jab and power int he right hand..

Funny to see people jump the shark, Wilder will want to get paid and playing up the drama around this which is about the only extra drama surrounding Povetkin adds to that pay. It was a question that gets asked when a fighter in his mid 30's transforms their body becoming a lot more than they were (people on here did it).

How does this hurt making the fight unless Povetkin is a cry baby about it, which judging by his coach (which includes zero denials to the issue) isn't the case.

Since when does bad blood not help to sell a fight?

All I see is hope and fear in Povetkin's fans that the fight doesn't happen because he will get his head taken off by Wilder who will not let him off the hook like Wlad did. So they can claim to have won without them actually fighting~ good luck with that.

back on topic, Wilder takes this fight wherever it is. Interesting to see if it goes to purse bid, because Haymon and Rabinsky both have deep pockets. My question is, how much of a loss financially is Haymon willing to take, because that fight won't make nearly as much in the US as it would in Russia

So, Povetkin is the mandatory for the WBC strap. If enforced, Wilder will likely have to face him by the end of the year.

What'd you reckon? Will Wilder pay Team Povetkin some step-aside money, so he can continue to pad out his record with nobodies?

Do these PED allegations show that Wilder is shook? Is he terrified of losing the purse bid for the fight, and having to travel to Moscow to face the second best heavyweight?

I think hed accept the challenge but his management will try to prevent it imo

Im becoming more of a povetkin fan with each fight. I really dont see wilder being the favorite at all. hes too vulerable to punches and povetkin is the best combination puncher in the division. obviously wilder could starch him early but I think the better chance is povetkin wears wilder down with those body and head combos and gets him out. wilder is too top heavy and hasnt the legs to absorb povetkins onslaught. povetkin in 8 rounds imo

Weren't Povetkins folks offering like 10 million or something crazy like that a little awhile ago? For the fight to be held in Moscow?
