RE: Heavyweight Division - shamrock - 11-04-2016 Die I still believe Wlad has the goods for the whole division, a pity he's 40 now and hasn't fought for such a while RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-06-2016 I do too, Sham. He may get beaten by AJ or Wilder, but I give him even odds. Here's Wilder vs AJ: Deontay Wilder wants title fight unification with Anthony Joshua next year: “2017 is all about risk-taking” James Slater - November 5, 2016 18 Comments WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder says he wants a big 2017. Currently still out of action healing after injuring his hand and biceps during his summer fight with Chris Arreola, Wilder tells Sky Sports how he wants to “take risks” next year. Wilder also stated how he wants to “come back with a bang” next year. And “The Bronze Bomber” feels that he and IBF champ Anthony Joshua meeting in a ring would produce such a bang. Wilder says Joshua’s upcoming defence against Eric Molina is “build-up” to a fight with him. “This is the build-up, if he is able to get the job done, to a unification fight,” Wilder said of Joshua-Molina. “If he comes victorious, everyone wants to see him fight the man. And I am the man. No matter what people say, I am the man, especially in America. [Joshua against Molina] is good for the viewers of America. This fight will get a few more Americans on tune with who Joshua is. 2017 will be a beautiful year. Our goal is to unify the division so we need others that want to put their title on the line. 2017 is all about risk-taking and I think it’s going to happen. I want to come back with a bang and unify the division with somebody.” Joshua of course has (after he’s dealt with Molina) that massive fight with Wladimir Klitschko on the horizon, while Wilder must defend against the winner of the ordered Alexander Povetkin-Bermane Stiverne clash for the interim WBC belt. But after these two fights have taken place, why not Wilder Vs. Joshua? Assuming both men are able to keep their unbeaten records and their titles, a fight between the two would be huge. With Tyson Fury gone (who knows if he’s gone for good or not) Joshua-Wilder is, in the opinion of many fight fans, the best, most exciting heavyweight title fight that can be made. Joshua has a whole lot riding on his next fight, a defence against Molina he simply has to win. If AJ can come through safely in defence number-two, and if Wilder is back to 100-percent and fully fit, we could have a great heavyweight unification fight next year. And as has been said before by Showtime (with whom AJ has a TV deal) – Wilder-Joshua should take place in Las Vegas. Just like all the big heavyweight fights once did. RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 11-06-2016 Lol @ deontay "I am the man" No you are the chump RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 11-06-2016 (11-06-2016, 06:12 PM)Infern0 Wrote: Lol @ deontay "I am the man" Maybe he could start by actually going through the Povetkin fight. He'll probably end up beating Kyotaro Fujimoto in 10 rounds instead and start calling people out post fight as he always does. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-06-2016 I like Wilder. He's faced Duhaupas andGlazkov. Top 8 fighter, but now he needs to fight someone in my top 8. Making noises, but now he needs to do it. ...and this: Pacquiao wins back WBO welterweight title with unanimous decision over Vargas By Miguel Maravilla at ringside 37-year-old ring legend Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) is a world champion again after a clear twelve round unanimous decision over WBO welterweight titleholder Jessie Vargas (27-2, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Pacquiao dropped Vargas with a straight left in round two, but Vargas fought his way back into the fight. Vargas was cut over the right eye in round eight, NSAC ruled it was caused by a punch. Pacquiao closed strong and won 114-113, 118-109 and 118-109.

Interesting that he's prepared to fight Wilder though.. I'm not sure about Wilder. He's a bit of a specimen, and he obviously trains hard, he can punch hard, but he doesn't seem to be a natural with his ring-craft. Everyone is on at him about his chicken-legs, but when it came to it, Tua was smashed by reach, even though he had the best legs in the business. I guess i'm just gonna sit back and watch any combination of these fights (if they're made); Wilder - Parker - AJ - Ortiz - Klit - Fury Jr - Haye - Povetkin - Fury Snr Let's see some excitement back in the HW's (I would have said Izu, but it might be a bit early..) RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-06-2016 Too early for Fury Jr too. Everything else looks spot on. RE: Heavyweight Division - bopman - 11-06-2016 Wilder needs to take risk. His hand keeps breaking and a Dr has probably said he won't Las much longer. Time for his pay day. Wilder definitely has upped his game and he is a pure athlete, explosive and fast reactions. AJ vs Wilder will be an awesome fight 60-40 towards AJ winning by ko RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 11-06-2016 I've got no faith in wilder whatsoever. Spilka is a b level guy AT BEST and he was out boxing deontay pretty clearly, and Tokyo several big shots with no problems until getting caught blind with a wild, winging haymaker. I give Joe stick but I'd be really confident in him to knock wilder out.

Yup he was having massive problems with Szpilka until Szpilka walked into one. AJ gets a bit of stick for the opponents he has faced, but I would expect him to put away Wilder with relative ease. |
