Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Wants WBC Belt But Isn’t Desperate

[Strive 4 Truth]

How does one possibly get that notion from reading the article?

what is kli crying about. he's never had it because rightfully so he would'nt fight his brother. as far as after vitali retired.wladimir never act like he wanted it. i guess now he's older and wiser.

Yes now he's not in a rush because theres a 6'7" champ with fast hands and big punch holding it. When stiverne had it, he was desperately trying to cut the line and fight him. He doesn't want anything to do with that fight. The thing is, that's a fight that can go either way but he doesn't like the risk.

Man I am a huge Wilder fan.. but the folks on this thread saying Klitschko doesn't want to risk it, Wilder is dangerous blah blah..

Of course he's dangerous, but he only has a puncher's chance. Fury is arguably more dangerous than Wilder vs Klitschko.. but that doesn't stop Klitschko to go right forward for him

He's right.

Although I'm 100% convinced that his final career goal is to unify all the belts.

I can't imagine otherwise.

Its not ducking at all, its called knowing a threat when you see one... you got to grow out of this high school **** cyclone...respect when you speak..

You honestly think Wlad sees Wilder as anything but a small obstacle? I certainly don't.

Anyone with Wilders power,size, and speed is hella dangerous no matter how you slice it

[LacedUp]

Didn't say it wasn't. But to imply Wlad is avoiding the WBC belt because of Wilder's perceived threat is ridiculous.

He's proved willing to take on all threats in the last 10 years and is next facing a guy who many consider a better fighter than Wilder.

Without the hugging, I have Povetkin beating Klitschko right now.

If Klitschko gets past Fury, he better fight Wilder immediately afterwards, take on the likes of Joshua/Haye 2 ( if he isn't clowning around again) / Charles Edwards ( who is really talented I believe and could give him some problems) etc...

In terms of pure chemistry, I can't see how Klitschko can deal with Povetkin without holding him very frequently.

Povetkin, in my opinion, beats up Joshua and destroys Wilder based on styles alone.

The only fighter that would be slightly the favourite against Povetkin would be Tyson Fury based on styles.

Wach has a "chin chance" against Povetkin : if he can absorb all the punishment for 10 rounds and fatigues Povetkin , he definitely has chance. But I think Povetkin will hammer his body.

Klitschko's best chance against Povetkin is to prepare a huge left hook that would put him to sleep. He can't pepper him with the jab without making him tired and his lead right hand would be a non-factor. He could also punish him with the right uppercut when he comes in but he hasn't shown any great uppercut throughiout his whole career.

I'm not Wlad's biggest fan, but to be fair to the bloke, he isn't scared of anyone.
