    I would favor wilder because of his punch but if Povetkin avoids the right hand he should win

    Povetkin in his prime would beat wilder but now he would be the underdog

    How many times was Wilder down in his last fight against a guy with no pop? Difference is Povetkin had the stones to get up and win and well Wilder.... Mah costume, I was a zombie, I had an Autopsy, his fists were not in his gloves, Also his fist were in his gloves but the padding was removed, also his fist were in his gloves but he had a foreign object, he was drugged, Fury was on PEDS...

    Furthermore Povetkins two losses were to Wladamir and Joshua two people Wilder ducked.

    And if you take a substance when it is not banned and did not take it later when it was banned then you did nothing wrong.

    Remember Briggs already came on record and said Wilder is dirty, that is why he is always having surgery to get TUE's so he can juice.

    Wilder went from a ripped to shreds 219lbs in the Ortiz rematch to a ripped to shreds 231lbs for the Fury rematch. That's over ten pounds of lean muscle mass in three months. He's as dirty as they come.

    Hahahaha what a load of drivel. Povetkin Wilder now is 50/50 fight. 2 years ago it would have been 70/30 and back in 2016 I’d have given Wilder less than a 15% chance of winning that fight.

    The most essential thing needed to face Wilder is reflexes. Beyond technique, aggression, or anything else, you need to be able to react to his punches. Povetkin no longer has that, so Wilder sparks him (sadly).

    Wilder is past it himself. He looked slow vs Fury and he is in mid 30s now. Povetkin is not the only boxer, who got old.
    Not to mention Povetkin has the momentum now and Wilder was just humiliated by Fury.

    In 2016, you mean the year Povetkin failed drug tests against Wilder, Stiverne and Duhaupas ... basically everyone he was scheduled to fight that year ... and all Russian athletes were banned from the Olympics for PED use?

    That's the year you pick Povetkin to beat Wilder?

    And you didn't even give Povetkin a 100 percent chance to win that year? LOL. Whatever man.

    Povetkin isn't even in the mix. Nice uppercut Saturday, though. I totally enjoyed it.

    Wilder still didnt learn how to deal with pressure. He still remembers this:

    Exactly he put more weight on then Fury who is a lot larger and not as defined... Shannon Briggs knows a thing or two about doping and he came out and said Wilder is as dirty as they come.

    Think povetkin would have beat him when they we,re due to fight. Not now tho....wilders tricky to fight as the smaller man. Povetkin had the workrate and skill to get inside on him back then. Wilder would just move away when povetkin moved in nowadays tho...and catch him with something big at some point.

    Bad style for a 40 year old smaller man. Interesting fight tho.
