    Is Wilder correct about being unbeatable to any heavy under 6'5?

    Maybe if he'd fought Povetkin we'd have found out.

    Instead, his momma is still washing the streaks out of those jocks.

    If he means any heavy under 6'5 ever that would include Tyson, Holyfield, Fraizer, Holmes, Ali Louis, Foreman, Liston and belt holders/contenders like McCall, Bruno, Mercer, Ruddock, Witherspoon, Norton etc. I hope he means the present day heavies under 6'5

    Wasn't the fight cancelled because Povetkin's drug tests came back dirty?

    He perfectly symbolizes the mediocrity of today's boxing scene. In fact, he's the flag ship "champion" of the Age of Mediocrity.
    Post script: Mike Tyson would have destroyed him as easily as he did Carl Williams.

    Technically the amount of meldonium was under the limit and barely detectable. Meldonium may not even enhance performance. But I see Wilder has no problems in fighting Ortiz who was full-blown bust for actual steroids.

    Could it be because Ortiz is as slow as a Swiss glacier and Povetkin's combinations are chain lightning?

    If I could bet my life on prime Tyson it would be worth the risk for as little as 10,000, and I don't think my blood pressure would go up much when the opening bell rang.

    At this point I would not be all that surprised to see a "rematch" with Charlie Zelnoff promoted and hyped with deadpan seriousness.

    Bruno would be knocked out by Wilder and the other boxers you lumped him with.

    Wilder's a clueless imbecile with a twelve year old vocabulary and two cent mind who's proven throughout his career that he's scared witless of fighting anyone who isn't either crap, washed up or paid off. He's also a bully, a fronter and a precious sunflower who can't take the least bit of criticism without throwing a hissy fit. He's a terrible excuse for a champion.

    Im not convinced of that. Here's a guy who outboxed Lennox Lewis until Lewis caught him and outboxed Oliver McCall and wobbled him with his iron chin.

    Bruno vs Wilder isn't as much a foregone conclusion as you're suggesting. To me Bruno seemed like the better technician.

    Plus, Bruno had his share of KO's over at least the same quality opposition as Wilder.

    If Bruno put up the same kind of effort vs Wilder like he did vs Lewis, he could possibly have defeated Wilder who was not better than Lewis.

    Bruno gave Tyson and Lewis much trouble. And I suspect had he fought Holyfield and Bowe, he'd have troubled them, too.

    Bruno would be dangerous for Wilder.

    So far Wilder is one of the top 25 KO punchers in the history of the HW division imo.

    "He's also a bully..."

    The other stuff I'll grant you but how is he a bully? If this is an allusion to the Charlie incident that **** was *richly* deserved. There is nothing morally dubious about physically harming someone who has invited his own asswhipping.
