Comments Thread For: Team Wilder: We're Not Going To Sit, Wait For Povetkin

[Ravens Fan]

So Arreola and Tony Thompson are "stiffs" now? Let's be careful about throwing around "bums" and "stiffs" too much.

Wilder hasn't even signed to fight them yet, and just think for a moment the position you are attempting to defend. My thought is that its okay for someone such as Joshua to fight Arreola or Thompson. But for either one of them to be in another title fight, no way. Honestly do you realize how ridiculous your argument sounds?

Again who in the f*** is Wilder supposed to fight while he is waiting for the Povetkin/Wlad situation to sort out? He doesn't have to fight anyone if he doesn't want to. He could go hide out in a cave with Pulev and Jennings and go inactive for a year. He doesn't want to do that crap, so he's going to pick up fights where he can. The rest of the best are shall we say less than motivated to get in the ring with him so he's going to stay busy with credible guys who have a ton of fights and make some money. Is this really some impossible to follow argument for you?

EEErrrr, hang on...

Thomson and Arreola deserve to be in another title fight more than Wilder HIMSELF does!

Wilder is the one that has no right to either have OR fight for a title!

I really don't know what all that horse5hit about Wilder hiding in a cave is all about. And I have to ask what Povertkin/Wlad situations is Wilder waiting to be sorted out? I far as I can tell it has already been sorted out and its rather simple.

Wlad is fighting Fury next and Povetkin is in all likelihood available, and wow he just happens to be the mandatory as well. So there is no need to wait until October and they can start negotiations with Sasha tomorrow if they choose to do so.

I believe that it has already been stated but the Russians would win any purse bid. Therefore Wilder would make more money fighting Sasha then Wlad. Simply because the Russians would make more money available. Especially if they believed that Sasha had a good shot to win. Which he does.

Wilder is also the champ so he, like Wlad, would obviously get the lions share of the purse. And that sure as hell ain't happening if he fights Wlad for what I believe would be an overall smaller purse. And why? No Russians.

As far as the argument that you talked about, I honestly don't believe you actually have one. Because instead of an argument it simply sounds like a bunch of horse5hit excuses to me. And I bet I am not the only one that reads it that way.

If they're affraid to fight Povetkin, there's no way they are going to fight Klitschko, unless they can make millions.

Why in the hell would Wilder be falling all over himself to fight Povetkin when there is even a slight chance he gets a title shot at Wlad? Does that make even the slightest bit of sense? I mean it's not like that is his dream or anything. Do you have any idea the money Wilder stands to make as the unified champ? Is Povetkin going to die between now and October? If he can't get the title shot, the Russians and their bags of money will still be there in 4 months. What is the freaking hurry? To please some BS.com posters? Who gives a s***?

The Fat Mexican has never beaten a legit top ten opponent in his entire career and possibly not even a top twenty opponent. So why would anyone with any amount of boxing knowledge believe that he deserves another shot at a title?

As for Thompson I always liked him. But he is in my opinion, at this point, little more than a gatekeeper. Although I also believe that he still has enough to possibly beat some good fighters. And if he can some how manage to beat the right ones and work his way back into another title fight more power to him.

As far as Wilder is concerned. I may have issues with the opponents he is choosing. But him winning the WBC belt was legit and I have no issues with that.

[Foreign Soil]

haha really. The way you guys talk about Povetkin, it's just hilarious. Is this the same guy who barely beat Marco Huck? What, it it because he knocked out a not even trying Perez? WTF..

Huck would knock out Wilder with relative ease. I fear for Deontay that Povetkin would as well.

Klitschko is fighting Fury next, Wilder wants to stay busy and Povetkin the mandatory to Wilder is available. The only issue is Wilders tiny balls.

Wilder will eventually fight Klitschko for millions.

But he'll wait until Wladimir has more grey hair.
