    I am far from certain your man walks through the Huck of five or six years ago, and of course you miss out how much Sasha has improved since. He's gone up a whole level, and that level is also above Wilder who has a terrible resume.

    Seriously though, Povetkin doesn't just resemble Canelo Alvarez in appearance, but he throws his punches a lot like Canelo also. They both have good hand speed and like to throw quick short punches. Their punch variety is very close to being the same also, jab, left hook, short straight right, uppercut, left and right hooks to the body. That's it.

    The difference ends with Povetkin being more active than Canelo.
    Canelo matched Povetkin's activity level in the championship rounds between he and Cotto, but usually he is less active.

    I typed in range, which in my brain, means both height and reach...

    Speed ? He isn't that quick, and to be honest, please look back on the Spilzka fight and see how often Artur easily swayed, or lent back to have DW missing with his jabs and power shots.

    Povetkin on the other hand is equally as quick, but he snaps from the shoulder, keeping his shots well disguised.

    Have you not viewed any of these fighters, or have you got thoroughbred horse blinkers on ya head???

    :rofl

    Uppercut always has the most absurd angles when it comes to Wilder.

    Povetkin will set the pace, Wilder will run, stumble all over his Bambi legs and get trapped in a corner. There Wilder will demonstrate his infighting skills (hint: he doesn't have any) while Sasha punches holes through him. They will need a teaspoon and saucer to scoop Wilder out after the fight :deal

    When guys like Uppercut Artist and the rest use phrases like "quick," "athletic," or "slick," they are code words...

    And you also picked Yunieski Gonzalez by KO over Shabranskyy. The thing is, if there is a black or a black American involved in the fight you will always pick him, except that is an obvious mismatch like Golovkin - Wade of course. And that racial bias make you a moron.

    Wilder isn't athletic. There's more to being athletic than fast.

    Wilder's balance is terrible.

    This proves it's a fact you don't have any idea what you're watching. At NO point was Szpilka coming close to "out boxing" wilder.

    Szpilka running around and dodging being ktfo for a couple rounds is in no way out boxing him.

    Wilder was in total control of every second of that fight. You're confusing one surviving longer than expected with out boxing.

    Tell me 1 (ONE) round Szpilka really out boxed wilder. Just one

    No Szpilka wasn't outboxing Wilder. That's an exaggeration. The thing you have to admit though was that the fight looked even for many rounds and Wilder looked on the same level more or less than Szpilka. Its not like Wilder dominated from the opening bell and made it clear hes 2-3 levels above Szpilka.

    That's the problem with Wilder. If he's in with a mediocre guy he never dominates them. He always has a tough as nails fight with even the most mediocre opponents. That's very worrying if you're a Wilder fan. If Wilder wants to prove hes an Elite HW he ought to dominate and demolish the Szpilka's of this world in 2-3 rounds.
