    Wilder just went life and death with chinny, chubby journeyman Molina. Povetkin will maul Wilder through the ring like he stole something. This will be a mismatch.

    Wilder doesn't last 3 rounds.

    Povetkin will lose to him is what Povetkin will do. Wilder eats titanic right hands for lunch, while Povetkin was knocked down by Wlad's jabs.

    He lasts longer than you did in the French Open. :lol:

    I think Wilder beats Povetkin in a shootout, but not before both guys go down. I hope it gets made before the end of the year.

    Potential FIGHT OF THE YEAR candidate.

    Umm... Povetkin decapitates him. Seriously, I'm surprised people even gave Wilder a chance. He has none, zero. The most we can expect from him is to drop the belt and preserve his 0.

    Of course Povetkin destroys Wilder. Any decent HW destroys Wilder. He has an atrocious glass jaw that is just ready to be shattered.

    I don't care who wins Povetkin-Wilder. I find both of them highly entertaining.

    But for everyone saying Wilder is a bum, the truth is Povetkin would be the biggest win on Wilder's resume to date ... AND WILDER WOULD BE THE BIGGEST WIN ON POVETKIN'S RESUME to date.

    Povetkin's beaten a lot of short, stocky guys who don't hit very hard.

    Wilder is 6'7" and has very heavy hands.

    Povetkin's going to get hammered. So will Wilder. I think they're both going down. But Wilder has shown an ability to change when things don't go his way - breaking his hand against Stiverne and boxing his way to a decision being an example.

    Povetkin, when he was in trouble against Wlad AND against Huck, showed no ability to alter his strategy at all.

    I'll take Wilder over Povetkin by KO. But it'll be wild while it lasts.

    What did you think when Molina stumbled Wilder. Did you think he'd get him?

    Good post! Dating way back to our years at Boxing Wise, you've always been level-headed and accurate in your assessments.

    From what I've seen, Povetkin is a swarmer with decent (but not great) power. He has 100x more technique than Wilder. He could school and eventually hurt Wilder by being an accurate puncher and landing a lot.

    Wilder can also hurt Povetkin, who has a defense that never impressed me. It will be a war. IMO Povetkin's more polished skills will do the job.
