Povetkin is being stupid fighting Wach when he's already mandatory for Wilder

    Povetkin knocks Wach out or wins by decision. Wach is big stiff heavyweight, not much skills.

    What is it that people see in Wach that I can't? He has no skills, he's painfully slow, never beaten anyone of worth and he doesn't even have big power. This will be a 10 rounds of sparring session For Sasha, nothing more than that.

    I think they are trying to built a case for a rematch with Wlad after Wilder. This way Povetkin will clearly be number 2 and the HW unification will have more meaning.

    This might not go well for the Russian Vityaz. Wach isn't as big a pushover as people seem to think he is.

    I remember Wach getting loads of praise after the wlad fight

    Now suddenly some people are saying hes a bum I don't get it..

    Who has given Wlad a tougher fight than Wach in recent years? No one
    wlad was completely offensive in that fight was throwing bomb after bomb and Wach never moved, his punch resistance is unbeievable, theres no chance anyone is knocking him out

    Wach is certainly top-20 heavyweight, but Povetkin is knocking him out.

    It makes sense, Povetkin is fighting someone big (but slow) as a tune up. I suppose fighting someone the similar sized to Wilder is a good idea.. Just like Wilder is tuning up with guys like Povetkin :patsch.....

    It is good that a fighter is not protecting his shot but tuning up against tomato cans.

    Boxing really needs more of this...

    He was praised because he managed to stay on his feet despite being on the business and of one of the most one sided beatings in hw title history.

    Oh and he was on steroids in that match

    Because Povetkin's tuneups are leaps and bounds better than Wilder's WBC belt challengers.

    When he fights Wilder, his last 5 fights will be Kiltschko, Charr, Takam, Perez, Wach.
    Wilders will be Scott, Gavern, Stiverne, Molina and Duhaupas
    So if we put them head to head
    Klit vs Scott
    Takam vs Stiverne
    Perez vs Duhaupas
    Wach vs Molina
    Charr vs Gavern

    That'll be 5-0 to Povetkins opponents
