He is punching above his weight fighting at heavyweight no doubt but he is too small He is a legit fighter but has too many short comings he can easily be out boxed and kept out of range especially by bigger guys I expect the wilder fight to be interesting wilder is bigger has the reach to win on points or even stop him late on
Trying to save face boxingmaster? This is exactly like you; alt up and form a different opinion to devalue someone's victory.
Too small for what? He wasn't too small for the people he beat. That being said he did get rejected from a ride at Oakwood when we were in school together for being too short. He even went on tip toes but snot nosed Amir Khan grassed him up whilst trying to barge his way to the front of the queue only to get knocked out when his chin connected with someone shoulder.
Potvetkin is about as predictable as KY weather, and trust me when I QUOTE, "If you don't like the weather in KY, wait 5 minutes." I will say however, that his recent performances have shown great improvements as if he's gotten back on form and taken his career more seriously. Deontay Wilder has his hands quite full IF the most recent Potvetkin stays on current form. Wilder will have to fight the PERFECT fight, throwing stiff jabs and 50% power R hands, and staying far out of range of Potvetkin thru the opening 5-7 rds. He's got to give Potvetkin angles and not allow him to cut the ring, and he certainly can't trade. If Wilder can maintain such composure, he'll lull Potvetkin into a trance where he can begin to land the full power R hand, which may well put Potvetkin to sleep for 10+:thumbsup
Wilder will win he has the advantages stylistically this is not really big challenge He should fight the likes of joshua or ortiz
I already have gone on record saying wilder should get some credit if he wins because povetkin is the first decent fighter he fought but he is nothing special nowhere near I would give him credit for beating a average small heavyweight
if he gets knocked out by a cruiserweight that shows you how bad he is Povetkin is tiny and i expect wilder to win
He's 6'2" tall and 230 pounds. Not too small. He's more like medium sized, with great skills, and good speed and power. Pretty durable and with plenty of heart and stamina too. Wilder is even light and has 18" like thighs.
Yet in your other alt you said Wilder ducked Povetkin and that Povetkin would knock him out now with the fight two weeks away you change your tune. You did the same **** for PBF-Pac you said PBF would duck him and Pac would knock him out. When the fight is signed you picked PBF to win same **** with Crawford-Postol to. You're a disgrace.
Wilder gets the victory, it should not be downplayed. It sure wouldn't be the other way around. Funny how threads like this are starting to pop up as we get closer to fight night. Honestly, 6'2 is the minimum height to be competitive at the top level in this division, shorter than that, then you'll need ATG level skills and a damn good beard to make up for the size. There's a well developed blueprint for taller heavyweights to beat smaller ones, but there isn't one the other way around.
He's not too small but in this era he's a small heavyweight compared to the giants, don't think he could drop to cruiser, just unlucky in that regard.
"Povetkin is too small for heavyweight" I wish my mother in law was :think when she visits my sofa takes one hell of a beating.
