https://mobile.twitter.com/Tyson_Fury/status/689714953461325824 Tyson Fury's true height is 6'7" or 6'8". Hughie is 6'6". Povetkin is billed at 6'2" but he's barely 6'0" going by this picture. Deontay would have a huge size advantage although I'd still favour Povetkin. Povetkin would have ZERO CHANCE IN HELL of beating Tyson Fury though. He wouldn't land a glove.
the picture is from a poor angle povetkin is 6.2 tyson is 6.9 so povetkin as with wilder is not going to look that tall
Don't need to read the replies. He's relatively short but it don't matter. He is a solid 220-230lb fighter.
In punching power only. Seriously fury wouldn't have lost a round s szpilka Furys skill and ring IQ is ten times wilders
Povetkin is very small for this division. He looks like Tyson's son, in that pic. Not only in height, but in frame too.
Looks like a welterweight v heavyweight. When Wilder fights Povetkin (if), he probably won't get much props if he wins by the doubters. This is because of his height and reach advantage but also because Povetkin will probably be 37 years old when they fight. It's a huge fight for Wilder, a fight he would have to win, but more because if he loses, then he will not live it down.
