    Povetkin will let his hands and combos go and hit Wilder wayyy more then Stiverne did. Wilder takes a nap by the 6th round.

    WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32KOs) is still very much a work in progress, says his co-manager Shelly Finkel. After last Saturday's world title win over Bermane Stiverne, the hype began growing for a fight between Wilder and WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.

    Finkel, who manages Wilder with Al Haymon and Jay Deas, also works closely with Klitschko.

    He says there is no need to rush Wilder into big fights against the best of the division; that despite a world title he still needs time to grow and groom his skills.

    “Look, (Wilder) is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News. “It's not the right thing yet. Give him a couple of fights, maybe bring something back to Alabama. Let him develop just like any other athlete. They don't take someone who is a great college prospect and throw him right in. And this kid is a great prospect.”

    One fight that could happen this year is a match against unbeaten EBU/British champion Tyson Fury.

    Povetkin probably gets beat down worse than Stiverne. Too short, and not athletic enough. I don't think he could take the punches Bermane got either.

    I'd be rooting for Wilder but I'd have to favor Povetkin

    **** if Wlad didn't clinch like an octopus I'd say that Pov might KO Wlad

    Deontay Wilder wins, I usually always give the advantage to the tall guy int the heavyweight division. Wilder is quicker footed and handspeed and showed he can box long, povetkin has shown quality short mid range combinations but not against a beanpole like wilder. So at the moment I'll go with wilder

    Just given Takam is probably better than Stiverne, certainly I'd fancy him to beat Stiverne. Pov KO.

    In this fight, Wilder's fragile whiskers would be SHATTERED.

    i'd take that bet if they ever fight, which i highly doubt they'd put Wilder in with him.
