    I'm still trying to figure out what Perez has done at the top level of the sport to warrant to delusional levels of support he still gets. Some of these predictions are just ridiculous. They're all basically pick 'em fights.

    It's certainly more accurate than your prediction for Wach to beat Povetkin :rofl

    I can agree with you to a tiny extent about Perez. Then again, I called Magomed overrated while most on here treated him as the fourth coming of Jesus (the third being Robert Helenius to most of those fools). But also you come across like a massive Perez hater. It should be quite obvious that no Wilder opponent comes close to troubling him spare for perhaps Stiverne.

    Those are not pick em fights that the guy listed off. Aside from Charr, who is a pick em against several recent Wilder opponents, Povetkin's run of Perez/Takam/Wach is quite clearly better and would beat all of Wilders' opponents decisively spare for Stiverne, who still probably doesn't beat Takam and Perez.

    Meanwhile, it just so happens that Charr and Wach have cult followings of sorts on the internet for differing reasons. So naturally those two will get overrated by many.

    Odd to point to Takam/Perez/Charr/Wach, two of which were in everyones' top 10 ranking, as being weak opponents relative to Wilders' opponents. You're just not correct there, CST. And I'm surprised you would try to argue the contrary.

    I've never rated Perez, Takam, especially Charr or Wach, not do I rate Duhaupas, Molina, Szpilka or Stiverne all that highly. I don't care whose Top 10 they were in, they didn't deserve it.

    Povetkin's resume dumps all over Wilder's. Povetkin is far better fighter.

    I have, and they aren't remotely in either Klitschko's league, or many of the top contenders of the era. They lost MUCH more than say, Corrie Sanders, and didn't have an ATG win unlike Corrie Sanders. And even though I think you're just talking resume, its still worth noting and has to be at least somewhat relevant to resume that boxing was in its infancy, they were tiny, as reflective of a tiny talent pool, and they couldn't compete with the hw's of today h2h.

    Povetkin is as over rated on here to the extreme that boxing clown over rates pac. Buy as a whole Wilder is vastly under rated on here.

    I get he looks goofy and uncoordinated. but think about it, Wilder started boxing very very late so he didn't get the opportunity to perfect his skills while growing which is the best and almost essential time to do it.

    He has an abundance of talent that hasn't been utilizing . It's raw talent and his trainer is good for him but, I want them to focus very much on his balance and work on throwing shots with varying power and speed. Not every shot that follows a jab needs to be a ko shot..

    People that claim Scott took a dive are the same ignorant fans that can't see talent when it smacks them in the face. The left hook right before the straight right is what took price out. It was a quick and short hook that landed cleanly, the right that followed was damaging too but that shot landed on price gloves buy with a ton of force.

    The only fighter right now that I wouldn't put Wilder in with is Anthony Joshua, that dude is a totally destructive force that's been working his talents much longer than DW. And he puts his shots together like a facking jmw / mw in canelo. Now that's a truly crazy dangerous hw with so much talent it's unreal.

    I was really seeing a much bigger David Haye with a granite chin. That's what I see in joshua, a huge David Haye, with great stamina, great recovery abilities and a truly great hw chin.

    But, back to wilder, for as little time he's put in, he's already accomplished a very good career for a life longer dreaming young boxer.

    Are you guys, all the guys that bash DW, still going to bash him when he annihilates povetkin and it's him and Joshua still standing with only each other to worry about ,

    Resume's don't win fights.

    Povetkin's resume won't get him off the floor when Wilder baptizes him.:deal

    If I was Wilder I'd come into this fight heavy, being fed through a straw/drip for 6 weeks might put him at a dangerous weight. :yep

    Wilder is going to have to look a hell of a lot better than he did in his last 3 for that to happen.. In hostile territory too.
