    Fair post.

    I have no idea if Pov would fight in the US. All I can say is that Wlad fought a better version of Pov in Russia and beat him like a tambourine.

    The most likely scenario is that AJ beats Pov in the UK (now there's an uphill task for Sasha) and Wilder destroys flabby Fury in the US and then they have a unification amidst the most hysterical drama on these boards since the TKO6 thread. I think AJ will win that too. In fact, I think he will have a harder time against Povetkin. If Wilder legit smashes AJ I for one will be shocked and will eat my hat. I'm hoping Pov gets past AJ and then faces Wilder, myself.

    So Mike Tyson never wrecked anybody and you suspect if he won it would be on points?

    If we’re talking wild outswinging looping right hands then it’s centrifugal force, not a very efficient delivery of said force but still powerful when it hits something.

    See Thor in the Avengers Infinity wars movie where he swings Rocket around to create enough force to free the seized up forge or watch a movie named Scum where Carling puts 3 pool balls in a sock then swings it, Wilder style, to crack someone’s head!

    The problem with the delivery of Wilders looping right is that it takes relatively ages to reach its target when compared with a powerful straight right. This is one reason Joshua has an advantage over Wilder should the ever meet!

    Because he loads up with everything he's got, starts swinging like a demonically possessed windmill at his opponents when he gets them hurt and because the level of his opposition is absolutely woeful. His opposition is motley crew of late starter NFL rejects, glass-jawed football hooligans and school teachers, and shot to bits fat Mexican blobs and hasbeens - all of whom are totally devoid of any kind of skill. His only semi decent opponents were a sick 240lb fat penguin with lead feet and a 48 year old Cuban who had never fought anyone who can punch, whose head is a magnet for right hands, and unlike certain other fighters is miraculously deemed exactly the same force sans their PEDs as they were when they were on them.

    Here's Duhaupas (ie. the useless walking punchbag that Donkey threw everything bar the kitchen sink at but didn't come close to dropping) getting dropped heavily by a 15-11-1 CW scrub who was on a 1-6 streak, the lone win a MD against a 3-5-1 tomato can.
