    Your reply makes no sense at all. 3G speaks better English than you do.

    Very close call now. Wilder beat Ortiz but it was a close fight. Povetkin is in decline. I think anyone who has a different top 3 (AJ-DW-AP) is wildly out though Tyson Fury is the most obvious threat.

    He's old but even so, I can't see a way to rank Wilder over Povetkin unless your ranking is exclusively based on personal opinion of "who beats who." But if that's the case, you could then rank Andy Ruiz #1 with the justification "I think he beats everybody." Ranking must be based on resume.

    I don't know that I entirely agree with that. Didn't Povetkin decline a few opportunities to face Wlad, citing he wasn't ready for the challenge?

    That's an in depth post but the way I see it is this...

    Wilder relies on his power not technical ability (that's why he can look very average at times). When that right hand lands, best case scenario the opponent is dazed and confused, they don't know their genitalia from their rear end. Worst case scenario, they're out cold. (or have I got it the wrong way around in terms best and worse case scenarios?)

    If they are strong enough to get up, expect some unorthodox windmill propellers strapped with TNT heading their way. No one has made it through the storm of windmills yet.

    The right hand always lands, he seems to have a real knack for it. Can Pov avoid the right hand? Considering how many flush shots Povetkin took from Klitschko and the fact Price stunned Povetkin, Povetkin goes down to Wilder.

    Povetkin off the roids and in his late 30s is no threat imo. He is still a solid HW but both Joshua and Wilder will beat him. He lost a lot in the last couple of years. No way he is gonna beat Wilder or Joshua at this stage.

    I can't rank a confirmed drug cheat as better than anybody.

    Meldonium is manufactured in Latvia and only distributed in Baltic countries and Russia. It is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States and is not authorised in the rest of Europe.
    Wada found “evidence of its use by athletes with the intention of enhancing performance” by virtue of carrying more oxygen to muscle tissue.The decision to add meldonium to the banned list was approved on 16 September 2015, and it came into effect on 1 January 2016. Wada had spent the previous year monitoring the drug before adding it to the banned list.

    This is the PED Povetkin has admitted to taking, The same PED Maria Sharapova a five-time Grand Slam Tennis champion admitted to taking for 10 YEARS, She was banned for two years from competing. Its a drug only distributed in baltic countries and Russia, hense WADA not being aware of it and it being banned at an earier time, when they became aware of this ped they spent a year monitoring it and then banned it, Povetkin was on this stuff all along.

    It blows my mind when people use the excuse, he never took it after it was banned doe, like that makes it ok, he was still on performance enhancing drugs prior to 2016 when it was banned.

    True, due to the opinion of Teddy Atlas. I forgot about that.

    But before and after Teddy he wasn't cautiously matched.

    That Povetkin is no longer available. He looked, older and slow against Price. Wilder is taller, has more reach, and has that power. I'd favor Wilder at this point.

    Wilder has narrowed the gap. Pretty clear many people have Wilder 2 Povetkin 3 or Povetkin 2 Wilder 3. It would make a great fight because its 50-50

    Yeah, Wilder looks so scary KO'ing those cab drivers & pensioners with high blood pressure. ****ing moron, talk **** once Wilder actually fights and beats a proven & dangerous opponent, the guy that takes risks against legit competition and has unified 3 of the belts in 21 fights is not scared of a glass jawed can crusher with 40 fights with 1 decent opponent in the bunch lol. If Wilder ever fights AJ it will be his first and only legit opponent (Ortiz is not only old as ****, but unproven) so why don't you STFU loser :deal:
