    Have you not seen Wilders past two fights? Wilder was constantly falling over and his balance was worse than post covid Povetkin. Got dropped by a guy not known for his power by a half grazing weak body shot that barely connected in the second fight.

    There is no comparison between the 2 fights Wilder was competitive throughout.Povetkin did absolutely nothing in the second Whyte fight if you didn`t see the difference between the fights i seriously question your boxing knowledge

    The Povetkin that was blasting through Charr, Takam, Perez, Wach and Duhaupas likely beats any version of Wilder more times than not. Wilder would instantly be put on the backfoot by Pov's pressure and would be left trying to catch Pov coming in, but unlike the plod-footed Ortiz Povetkin's ability to close distance was always first class. Likely Pov's leaping chain hook catches Wilder at some point, and that thing was lethal. Can also see Pov's counter right doing major damage over Wilder's sloppy jab.
