    It always puts smile on my face when Wilder misses, gets off balance and almost falls like in Audleys fight, thing of beauty, how can this be not entertaining and fan friendly?

    Povetkin.

    He fights actual fighters, and not the hobo of the month club.

    Man, I can't wait for Povetkin / Wilder.

    I've never found any match of Povetkin's thrilling or exciting, he's a total bore, at least Wilder provides some excitement, you never know when he's gonna get knocked out cold, so at least they're suspenseful and usually end in a highlight reel KO.

    :patsch

    Takam/Povetkin was one of the best heavyweight fights of 2014... If not THE best. Wilder's fights are all mismatches against overmatched opponents. Likewise Povetkin has been scoring a ton of exciting KO's as of late himself, but somehow he's boring? Are you trolling? :lol:

    dude you couldn't be more wrong.povetkin vs takam was the best heavyweight fight of 2014 and add the huck fight and that seals the deal for povetkin. wilder's windmill act against cab drivers and street sweepers is tiring and not entertaining in any way.:deal

    So exciting fights against school teachers, pastry chefs and unemployed football hooligans is a recommendation?

    Povetkin - Takam fight was pretty good, possibly the best HW fight in 2014. I can't say the same about any Wilder fight

    HW against a Cruiser and you say Wilder isn't fighting competitive?[/quote]
    And TBH Wilder's probably not fought anyone the caliber of Marco Huck.
    Maybe Stiverne, but I wouldn't be surprised if Huck could beat him too.

    :deal

    Pretty much all Povetkin fights worth watching, aside from the Wlad and Firtha fights. And that's not an easy statement to make as far as heavyweights go, for the last decade.

    I'm still trying to figure out why CST has disdain towards Povetkin... Usually he's pretty big on EE fighters, especially ones with the style Sasha has. Picking Wilder to beat him is one thing, but why come you not like Povetkinz for bro? WHY COME!?

    Probably because of Wlad critics who've been holding his fight with Sasha against him. To point out how boring he is or what a cheater he is etc.
