He already had his shot, and Wlad made him look silly. What makes you think it would be any different? I doubt he is dumb enough to overlook an undefeated WBC champion like Wilder either, if he does it will be all the worse for him. He's looked good against class B fighters. His roll reminds me a lot of Jerry Quarry when he beat Shavers and Lyle in 1973, but then he got starched by Joe Frazier. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he couldn't beat Wilder, just that I think he's getting to much undeserved love. Bottom line is, Povetkin hasn't proven he can beat a taller fighter with power. Every decent fighter he has beaten his been his height or shorter.
No doubt in my mind Wilder has this. It will look just like wlad vs pov but more brutal. Wilder simply is too tall and his reach will overwhelm sasha. Sasha's style of fighting is prone to getting hit, difference between sasha's last few fighters and wilder is that wilder's right hand is terrifying and he is too big for him
I am sick of the wilder hate.. the same folks that trash talk wilder are the same people who think Fury is the future lol Fury??? A dude who never fought anyone with a pulse? The same dude who got knocked down by a cruiserweight. Wilder has 33 out of 34 KO wins.. a treacherous right hand and he beat Stiverne. Much more than that fat slob fury has ever done with his loud mouth career. I hope after wlad finishes fury, wilder will be next
Wilder can have 99 of 100 if he continue to fight guys out of top 100 and absolutely amateurs. Povetkin will kill him, thats sure !!!
