I have huge respect for your opinions but have to disagree here. I scored Jennings-Perez fight 95-94 for Jennings, which means he only won because of that ridiciolus point deduction, that alone is enough to make Perez a top10 HW. And Magomed was limited like you said but he had great power and took his shoots easily, KOing him in rd1 takes amazing power. Also, as I watch Sasha's previous fights including ams, he's definetly not limited, he has good skills. He defeated Cammarelle 4 times, outboxed Chagaev, past-prime Byrd and Chambers. That supports he certainly has above-average skills.
Povetkin is on the best three fight streak in the division. No other HW's past three bouts even comes close in comparisons to Povetkin's performances.
Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Povetkin's but I think he's getting a little too much hype because of his recent reign of terror which has been fairly impressive. He's skilled no doubt but a little overrated in my opinion. I think if Wilder uses his obvious height and reach advantages effectively he can control Sasha and keep him at a distance the whole match. Although I definitely wouldn't rule out a Povetkin KO win either. But as of now I give the slight edge to Wilder.
I agree that claiming he'd beat Wlad with a fair referee is overrating him. I myself would like to see a rematch but not because he could beat Wlad, It would be a great fight to watch and I think Wlad owes that. He'd win by KO this time though
:rofl Povetkin fans overrate him so much. Pov didn't do ANYTHING that proved he was able to KO Wlad when the two actually fought. Takam iron chin? Where's the proof? 43 y.o. average puncher Tony Thompson? Ancient Grant and Botha? Perez who wasn't able to KO 'iron chinned' Travis Walker? Charr top-25 maybe, but nowhere near to TOP-15 (and never was). The guy has no speed and skills, only good chin and a heart, that's it.
Didnt you notice how many times Molina hit Wilder? Imagine Povetkin touching that glass chin. Wilder has 0% chance to beat Povetkin. Hes getting knocked out early.
Great vid Rummy I mostly agree... Wilder does not strike me as ATG materiel, but he does strike me as someone who will be entertaining to watch even as he has some struggles with top level opposition. Great punchers who are athletic and can also actually fight some, but have holes in their game are nothing if not entertaining. If he survives his next 3 fights, he might even have a pretty good run.
I find Wilder to be a rather likable champion, and he does have a fan friendly style, but watching him against Molina, I think he'll be lucky to have 5 successful WBC title defenses.
Povetkin is the best HW on the planet :-( Didn't know that when you lose 104-119 you are the best. By the way, I'd pick Joshua to beat overrated Povetkin right now.
As I have stated before, Wladimir should have been dq'd. Joshua is a great talent, but Povetkin would be too much for him at this point. Joshua beats Wilder though!
Wilder is very average and fighting cans doesn't prepare you for real fights. His fall will be spectacular.
