I like Wilder He has skills but his legs are so tiny :shock: Sounds like Povetkin is a killing machine so I am not sure my southern brother wants any of that pain:-nono :hat
Wilder would have to bring WADA to Russia, which we all know aint happening. So.....this fight aint happening. Wilder is fighting Szpilka after Molina, and Pianeta after Szpilka. Then he will fight Browne. By then.......Potvetkin will be forced to rematch Wlad in Ukraine and he'll lose his mandate.
size n reach advantage is already a major hurdle to overcome for povetkin. i like povetkin hes a good fighter but stylistically its one of the toughest fights for him. povetkin can do it though . his best chance imo is getting wilder tired. and getting him outta there in 2nd half of fight. but thats banking on wilder having stamina issues which vs stiverne he looked great. as far as stamina but stiverne didnt make him work that much . i think stivern had a similar game plan but wilder wasnt gonna throw unless u made him. wilder scored his points and that was good enough till wilder made him fight .
To be honest. If Wilder came up against Perez, Takam, and Charr. He'd probably starch them out too. Their not very good defensively, and take too many risks.
Wilder has one win if note - Stiverne - and he lasted the distance. Not saying Wilder couldn't beat all three but I think if he fought them back to back to back like Povetkin has one of them picks him off.
They're probably pretty close in punching power. Povetkin has a helluva punch too. Povetkin is also more technically skilled than Wilder, so he could very well get inside on him and turn the lights out with that punch.
