    Bowe stops him in 2 or less. 100 out of 100 times. These two fighters are not even comparable. (And I am not a big fan of Bowe)

    Bowe takes his head of. It would be very unpleasant to watch. I would actually prefer if Wilder won, due to the story on why he fights for his sick daughter.

    Bowe destroys that glass-jawed fraud, early. Two entirely different levels of fighter, a complete mismatch.

    funny that everyone picks bowe yet the opinion on this forum is - bowe has a bad chin and never faced punchers. wilder is a puncher

    funny cause he walk through anything holyfield had to offer, herbie hide, and took helluva punishment in two golota fights.

    on topic - bowe easy ko, he's the ultimate slayer of superheavyweights

    I don't understand Wilder is such a figure of ridicule. He has smooth movement on the back foot and can pepper a very decent jab while doing so. And that left hook has a fluidity and snap on it not seen in the division since the 90's.
    This guy could very well knock Povetkin clean out.

    That said- Bowe by stoppage.

    He's a "world champion" who hasn't fought anyone very good.

    It's not his fault. He's a victim of this system too in many ways. In like, 1960, he would have been the most exciting contender in the world (presuming he didn't get blasted out by the first really good fighter he met).

    People said the leap from his level of comp to Stiverne was too large and he was going to be exposed.
    He won that fight comfortably.

    Spilka was a good win for Jennings , despite not being based in the US at the time, being jet lagged and out of shape.

    Spilka looks to be in the best shape of his life now and training on US soil. Its a good fight - replacing Povetkin who didn't make himself available when the fight was on the table.

    Plenty of other 'world champs' out there with defences as weak as Wilders

    Brook and Crawford just to name two

    I'm not a fan of Bowe by any means but one thing he did have was a bucket of grit. I think his chin was so-so, but his heart was tremendous. He took the beating of a lifetime against Golota and hung in there when he was getting beaten to a pulp. Frankly I see Wilder getting caught up in an exchange sooner or later, and Bowe had plenty of power of his own to dish out. I am one of the Wilder chin skeptics, and once Bowe managed to land some big ones, Wilder wouldn't be coming back. This isn't Dustin Nichols we are talking about. I see a brutal finish.
