    Wilder better starts to use jab and movement, because his chin won't hold up a round against any top-10 HW today. Once his opponent lands, it's over. Wilder has great power though so many his opponents would be careful in the early rds and won't land clean shots.

    Pov is a slow starter so maybe 4

    Wilder won't go anywhere near Povetkin. It will be like Povetkin vs Wawrzyk, and it ends within the first three rounds. I would say Povetkin KO1

    I'd go with about 3 rounds. AP would have to be careful early as DW can crack, and has height/reach advantage over AP.

    And as others have noted AP isn't a fast starter. First good, clean punch AP lands and DW is in trouble.

    Agreed, first shot landed would have DW in trouble, second shot has him down and out
