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

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

I would also say that he isn't scared of any boxer until I see his sparring tape with Joshua and/or what he really thinks of him beating Povetkin without holding.

When it comes to Fury he must either genuinely think that he's found some keys to beat him or he underestimates him. If the latter is true, I expect Fury to beat him up inside 8 rounds maximum.

Klitschko clearly underestimated Jennings but beat him because of his experience, technique and, most importantly, because he could control the pace and scenario of the fight.

Fury might be more clumsy but he's a lot more versatile and he is really talented ( speaking about raw talent : Klitschko isn't as slick as Tyson).

Klitschko can't control the pace and must adapt to what Fury will bring. If he knows it, then he's on the right path. If he thinks he's going to play with Fury, he's terribly wrong cause that won't happen.

Here comes the Wilder duck.

Not that I blame Wlad. Statistically speaking, once a fighter reaches 40, the chances of getting KO'd rise by orders of magnitude. Who could blame the guy for not wanting to take his chances against the premier KO artist in the division?

Wlad will never fight Wilder if Wilder beats Povetkin and who would blame him. It would be a terrible way to end a terrific career by getting KTFOd.

Wlad isn't ******. He's just getting old. After 40, you're a KO waiting to happen. He'd be a fool to fight Wilder, Joshua, even Povetkin at this point.

Wlad isn't scared, he's just a realist..

Wlad knows the risk that Wilder presents... When Stiverne won the belt he was all in, now hes not desperate?smh.... He seen something from Wilder in those sparring sessions that he understands just how dangerous Wilder is and also understands the Money it can generate possibly on PPV..

Povetkin, Fury, Pulev, Haye all beat Wilder and the list goes on

I respectfully disagree

And if they dont?

[LouIE G]

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

I never said he was scared or even imply it, but if anyone really knows how dangerous Wilder can be it's Wlad... and in a sport where you take punches for a living you would have to be a lil concerned being an aging champion whos only belt to conquer is held by a young undefeated, bigger , knockout puncher like Wilder..

No fighters are scared, but to think of Wilder as a small obsticle is absurd... Steward RIP) and Wlad himself would laugh at you for that comment, i would think..

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.

Can't disagree here man!

Povetkin IMO is one of the greatest smaller-type heavyweights of all time. If Povetkin takes out Wach, Wilder, and gets revenge on Klitschko..

First we'll see if the rumor "Povetkin can't fight big guys" is true. WAR POVETKIN, I don't like that sneaky piece of roided trash Wach. If Povetkin beats Wach thoroughly, I am on Povetkin's side 90% against Wilder.. If Povetkin manages to KO Wach, Povetkin will be my favorite Heavyweight boxer

If Klitschko somehow manages to beat Fury, Wilder, Povetkin (again if Pov gets through Wach and Wilder) and Joshua... what a god damn career that would be.

I feel Klitschko will get past Fury and honestly, Wilder is the only man that has a chance against Klitschko and Povetkin(with a ref that is strict with clinching).. Joshua is still too green, too many questions that need to be answered
