    Povetkins run as WBA champ.

    Wilders run as Champ.
    Won title from Stiverne
    Defended it against
    Molina
    Duhaupas
    Szpillka
    Arreola.

    Is that really any worse than...
    Won title from Chagaev
    Defended it against
    Boswell
    Huck
    Rahman(Who literally limped to the ring)
    Wawrycz

    At WORST, its on a par with it.

    Yet I don't remember Povetkin getting the same hate Wilder is getting

    Undoubtedly, Wilders run is worse. Especially since he hasn't faced a mandatory in the 19 months he's had the belt.

    Undoubtedly?

    Boswell who was 42.
    Rahman who beyond shot(literally limped to the ring)
    Huck who had never fought at HW
    And Wawrycz?

    That is UNDOUBTEDLY better than Wilders run?

    Which of Povetkins defences was his most impressive?

    Rahman? Boswell? Huck? or Wawrycz?

    Povetkins, buts that's not what this thread is about.

    People have made a huge deal out of who Wilder has fought as champ, and I'm simply making the point that Povetkins run as champ was as bad, and in all likelihood, worse.

    August 2011 to October 2013.

    Although I'm sure the WBA had 17 other titles at the time

    No he was not, Wlad was. You're being dishonest on purpose.
    If you wanna compare Wilder's run as CHAMP then compare him to other champs, so Wlad was WBA champ.

    povetkin has fought better men then wilder, but just not on his title run as WBA Champ.

    Povetkin was WBA champ, Wlad was "Super champ"...you're splitting hairs.

    But if its so important to you, fine. Wlads first 4 defences in his first title run were against
    Derrick Jefferson
    Charles Shufford
    Frans Botha
    41 year old Ray Mercer


    That's way better
