ALEXANDER ''Russian Vityaz'' POVETKIN || Highlights/Knockouts - 2015

Povetkin is tough as nails. Solid chin, terrifying inside game, skilled as can be... but he does have trouble against taller opponents. Wlad really dismantled him. Wilder will do the same.

 

Going by Molina I would not trust Wilder to beat Wlad's trainer

 

That was pre-Steward Wlad, a completely different fighter.

 

Povetkin has really come into form. Curious to see what type of opposition he will face as he waits around for a Wilder fight that will probably never happen.

 

Second best heavyweight on the planet. Too bad he's getting up there or else he could overtake Wlad soon enough. Instead Joshua and Parker are in line more likely.

 

I bet Pov would fight either of them, he's that kind of fighter.

 

If Povetkin beat Wilder i really wanna see Povetkin vs Joshua .... That would be great fight.
Wilder is not Klitschko. Klitschko have problem keeping Povetkin at bay, when Povetkin was going low and charging at him. Wilder not have Wladimir footwork, neither Klitschko jab, style and dont know how to clinch properly, Povetkin will kill him.
theanatolian, is that matter? I say that Povetkin should watch this to understand how to fight and beat huggers ....
And i do think pre-Steward Wlad was very good aswell, he just have some off nights and have holes in his defence. Tho his 100% prime was 2006-2012, he look very much unbeatable right there.

 

I still think he needs a stay busy fight with someone like Dimitrenko.
