Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” — Wilder Wiser to Wait on Klitschko

[Mike Haynes]

Wlad would hurt Wilder

Yeah...hurt his shoulder from pulling on it during clinches. Wilder is waiting to get Wlad on American soil with a ref who won't allow all that diving-on clinching Wlad gets away with...even Jennings gave him problems when the ref started preventing him from hugging.

Even Jennings? But Jennings is a much better boxer than Wilder.

Haymon and a Wilder are afraid of Klitschko.....

it's coming!

I believe you didn't know why Kovalev have fought Boone twice, do you know why? In the first fight, Kovalev won by split decision, he didn't knock down Boone at all. However Boone dropped Kovalev on the canvas in the 7th round, out of 8. Kovalev could barely get up and make it til the end, Boone got robbed that night. Just like Stevenson got robbed against him, when he was standing up and ready inside the count of 3.
To sign with Kathy Duva, the test/condition was him to fight Boone a second time.

Sergey Kovalev STARTED A CAREER of a professional boxer in 2009 in the USA, and his first 9 fights he finished with knock-outs in the first or second rounds. His first really serious fight was in October 2010 with an American Darnell Boone, when he had to fight all 8 rounds and won with great difficulty; his victory was decided by a split decision of judges. “Boone appeared to be not an easy opponent to fight at all. I must admit, I wrongly dismissed my opponent. Now I gained a great experience, and will change my approach to the next fights”, said Kovalev.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA (October 12, 2010)—This past Saturday night in Atlanta, Light Heavyweight sensation Sergey Kovalev ran his record to a perfect 10-0 with 9 KO’s as he was taken distance for the first time in his career and scored an eight round decision over veteran upset specialist Darnell Boone.
This was a great learning experience for Kovalev, who was sent to canvas for the first time in his career in round seven but stood up to win victory.

Stevenson will finish him

Thats a long way of saying nothing. lol using simulated footage. I can link to Stevenson's KO loss since you know, it actually happened. But you keep dreaming and having fantasies about Kovalev being ko'ed by watching that gif and beating it in your room. You're so biased that in a fight involving two fighters not known for their durabilty, you simply refuse to believe it can happen to one of them, despite the fact that its already happened to him lol
Get off you're damn knees, son.

News flash, Kovalev won't be strapped to a chair. He is allowed to throw back, you know.

Wow was that a coward's statement or what? I mean the guy is 29. It's not like he s a green, inexperienced and drained guy like Canelo was vs. Floyd, when Canelo was only 23 and his opponent 36.

I mean there are many examples of cowardly "fighters" waiting for the "right moment" to fight their biggest foes, that means, either when they are over the hill or when someone else already did the work for him of rendering them damaged goods.

Here's a few recent examples:

1) Floyd vs. injured Pacquiao, when Manny was already damaged goods because of the brutal knockout vs. Marquez. IOW, Marques did all the work for Floyd. The Manny that beat up De la Hoya mercilessly, would have beat up Floyd as well, because at that point Manny was in top shape both physically and mentally. After the fight with Marquez he was in no good shape any more.

2) Cotto vs. old and injured Martinez, when Sergio was damaged goods: injured knees, injuries vs. Chavez Jr., and more injuries vs. Murray in a fight the latter won but was robbed, and everybody (including Roach and Cotto of course) saw that Martinez was ready for the kill. Also Martinez was 39 already, ai he was over the hill notwithstanding his injury issues.

3) Floyd vs. green Canelo, when Canelo was a naive 23-year old and he was totally drained to boot, because of the catch weight issue. Right now he is less naive, stronger, smarter, but of course Floyd would never fight him now at middle weight, nor would he fight someone like Golovkin at such weight. But I'm pretty sure he would fight a much easier opponent such as Cotto himself.

4) Manny vs. old De la Hoya. Simply put, Manny was at his best shape ever, while De la Hoya was at his worst, both physically and mentally. De la Hoya got a super-embarrassing beat down that, in his top shape, would never ever had occurred.

5) Floyd vs. old De la Hoya. A story similar to the previous one. A top-shape Floyd vs an over the hill De la Hoya. Yet the latter dominated a few rounds and never ever showed any fear or respect for Floyd, unlike his fight with Pac. The result says it all: vs. Floyd De la Hoya got a split decision. Vs. Manny, he had to embarrassingly quit in his stall, with a beat up face and body.

6) Old Shane Mosley vs. several fighters, since he became 39 (Mayweather, Pacquiao, Alvarez, Mundine). Had he fought any of these guys when he was at his peak, the outcome could have likely been different.

7) De la Hoya vs. old and busted JCC senior, twice (not only was Chavvez damaged goods already, but he was also having drug and alcohol abuse at the moment so he was far from being in tp shape, whereas De la Hoya was young, hungry, in peak form, top speed, probably the greatest shape of his boxing life. It's truly strange that exactly what he did to JCC senior (made him embarrassingly quit in his stall), was done to him in a very similar fashion, by Many Pacquiao. If that's not fate, IDK what it is.

Bottom line, a "fighter" that waits for his top rival to become old, injured or otherwise completely out of top form, and then finally accepts to fight him, is just one thing: A COWARD.

I am not sure if in all cases above, the fighter with the huge advantage die WAIT on purpose for their foe to become past his prime and/or injured on purpose, like Deontay is evidently doing right now. If Klitshko can NOW be considered to be still in some sort of "top form" even today, Wilder should take him on NOW, NO EXCUSES.

Do you think that Wilder is ready for Klitschko ?

Do you think that Wilder can beat Klitschko ?

It takes 1 clean left, ONE

Look, team Kove/Duva build up Kovalev's reputation by making the audience believe Stevenson was running away from him, when in facts, since Kovalev gained Hopkins belts, they no longer want any part of a pissed off Stevenson. Which they used to maximize Kovalev reputation for almost 2 years. An angry Stevenson would make Kovalev choke by swallowing his own mouthpiece.

that video game gif convinced me

[BOMB ZQUAD]

TheThirdEye is a troll, he probably is part of Superman's crew lol

Don't bother replying to this fool, he acts like the amateurs was yesterday and Kovalev is the same after his first fight vs Boone

[Jc8804]

Weak asssss smh

[MDPopescu]

Even Jennings? But Jennings is a much better boxer than Wilder.

... Right: Wilder should fight Jenning first -- just to see how it is...
