When Povetkin finishes Wilder will you admit that Wilder was a fraud all along?

    Will the clouds of delusion part or will you continue to make excuses?

    Discuss.

    Was just thinking this, a loss to Pov is no shame at all.

    A Wilder win tells us Wilder IS the real deal. A Pov win just reminds us there are levels

    Wilder claims he is a part of the so called 'bomb squad' yet he has no experience with, or knowledge of explosives. A fraud!

    So you see how it is so :good

    Or Povetkin is his kryptonite, or he just got caught, or he gets robbed, etc etc. Doesn't make him a fraud, you're putting too much value on that 0.

    In the highly unlikely event that this happens, it will say more about Povetkin than anything about Wilder.

    There is nothing in Wilder's record that would suggest he could beat Povetkin, he's fought complete stiffs and handpicked mediocrities for over 7 years.

    Therefore, if he beats Povetkin, it means that Povetkin was not at the level many of think he still is.

    I fully expect Povetkin to push Wilder's stool in. But losing to Sasha doesn't mean that you're a "fraud". Povetkin is one of the top 5 HW's right now, and has been for years. He'd probably do well in any era.

    Yes. I never thought much of Povetkin. If Wilder can't beat Povetkin, I will admit he's a fraud.

    Beating Povetkin doesn't make you elite. All the top 10 would be favourite against him

    Guys like Joshua and Fury would absolutely embarrass him

    Wilder goes close fights with Molina and Duhaupas, I don't need him losing to Pov to know he's not that good, fraud boxer? No but definitely a fraud champion.

    Povetkin can only beat one style of fighter and that's the guy who stands still and can't move. With his big ass super dome globe brain.

    :lol: Hilarious. You are already downplaying Povetkin as a built in excuse for Wilder beating him even before the fight.

    Neither were close fights. He won almost every round in both of them. And both Molina and Duhaupus beat solid fighters since.

    When you downplay competition and redefine close fights, you can make anyone look worse than they are.
