The reality is Povetkin is not a big monster but has far to much for wilder

Let me get this straight: you, along with many others, believe wilder needs to stop ducking, man up and face Povetkin, his first real test who many claim will knock him out. Yet somehow, it's not a significant victory if he pulls it off?

Boy, you guys sure do cover all your bases.

 

1. He had a tough night with Huck, it was his worst career performance, but he still beat Huck that night.

2. Huck would be the best name Wilder has ever beaten.

3. Ageing Klitschko used all his dirty tactics to get the win, that was not a boxing match but a wrestling competition.

4. Firtha almost had Wilder down with a jab.

5. Povetkin broke his hand against Firtha and did not throw any power punches.

6. Povetkin fought a better version of Firtha.


It's better to struggle with a good boxer like Huck than struggling with career losers as Dustin Nichols, Harold Sconiers, Eric Molina, etc.

I doubt any of Wilders defenses can survive 3 rounds vs Povetkin.

 

I think Pov splatters him but if Wilder wins I'll give him an awful lot of credit

 

Povetkin is not great for sure and if szpilka could outbox wilder , I'm pretty sure povetkin can too and I want to see wilder fight povetkin now , not when povetkin is 40 , anyway I will favor wilder because of height, reach and povetkins lack of power .

 

szpilka got KTFO

 

Clearly it would be significant to WILDER'S RESUME and rating.
But I understand that it wouldn't be a world-shattering victory, by any means. Povetkin is proven to be way below Klitschko's class, for example.

 

What the hell? Povetkin lack of power?

He knocked 4 iron chinned heavyweights out in his last 4 fights :shock:

 

Wilder should be judged by Wilder's standards, not Wlad's, not yet. Povetkin is the fight he needs next, therefore he deserves credit, not someone discrediting him like schooling is.

NO ONE claimed it's an "earth shattering" victory or ANYTHING comparable to Wlad's accomplishments.

 

Vlad accomplished boring the hell out of fans.

 

You don't believe that yourself.
