You made some good points. About Huck fight, Povetkin was out of shape, out of will and took Huck lightly just like Wilder did with Molina. I do think Wilder can beat Sasha by KO and vice versa. The reason I'm giving the edge to Sasha is because I don't think Wilder will be able keep him at bay for 12 get a UD. He needs to go for KO, Sasha took many flush shots from Takam and took over after 7 despite that. His stamina is a lot better than it was against Huck and he moves better now. 60\40 in favour of Povetkin for me.
I can't stop thinking about the Wilder-Scoiners fight. Povetkin is going to do permanent damage to Wilder. It is not what I want, but it is pretty much garunteed. Wilder has not had the fights to prepare himself. Povetkin's early fights like Richard Bango and Ed Mahone are on par with Wilder's best.
Wilder Sconiers 2010 ...13th pro fight, Povetkin Huck 2012...24th pro fight. I know that you'd like to hang on to that knockdown. Can you just show us some footage please. I just want to see the knockdown.
To me knockdowns happen. It's a part of boxing. Getting up is all that matters. History shows this. Nobody took Ali serious in beating Liston after Cooper dropped Ali. Look at Ali's career!
Povetkin is a very tough contender, but Wilder is just physically superior to him in many aspects. Wilder can win using the Wlad blueprint, but it will be very boring. A better style is to come with a boxer Mindset with occasional use of power. This is useful against tougher/prouder opponents, the occasional power shots will convince Povetkin to cruise into a decision loss avoiding a KO loss in front of his crowd. Wilder gets the W & Povetikin can blame it on dehydration or sickness
Wilder can KO povetkin , but will lose to anybody who has power and size, duhaupas was landing at him and wilder did not know what to do. Wilders footwork, chin , balance and ring iq is non existent .
Has Povetkin been paid to take a dive or fight like sh5t? If not, Povetkin wins easily. Too much skill & he has a Jaw.
As soon as Wilder stepped up, even a little, his "power" has disappeared. It's easy to knock out hand-picked tomato cans, not so easy to knock out guys like Povetkin. Wilder is going to be annihilated.
No. I know that when I see fighters, I can almost tell if a fighter is past it, old, unprepared, or bum. He was no bum.
In theory you are correct, 5% scaled up version of Wilder at 6'10" will hurt Wilder & walk through his best shots. In reality Povetikin & Duhaupas are the best chins in Boxing today. So Wilder ruling a weak division is exactly what Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield & Lewis did reaching an Undisputed status of superiority in a division that's been always full of out of shape big guys, undersized fit guys or just under skilled practitioners. Through in any top 10 Welter skill level guy with the proper size for Heavyweight & you have a new Heavyweight star
