    The record shows tko, which means he stopped Wach. Wach was well busted up. I do not see Wilder busting up Wach, not if a bum like Duhaupas can give him a pizza face.

    Why do you like Wilder so much? He's the biggest laughing stock in boxing. Even worse than Wlad and Broner

    The two are not exactly related. No reason Wilder can't bust up Wach, he's just about stationary. And he has his height and reach as well.

    You really have a terrible sense of humour man.

    In general, big punchers are not good matchups for pressure fighters, they play right into their hands. Mike Tyson was possibly the best pressure fighter of the modern era, and there was a reason even he never wanted to fight George Foreman even when he was older.

    As I said, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not sold on Wilder's chin and think it possible Povetkin could get inside once to land a big bomb, I'd give him about a 75-80% chance to win this fight.

    As it is, I'd give him about 50-50 or so.

    The way I see it... and I've seen all of their available fights. Wilder has been rocked and put on wobble leg aka almost KTFO against part time fighters. Povetkin has shown me a solid chin. Povetkin by brutal KO, but this fight never happens. Wilder's camp has no intention of allowing him to be crushed.

    This is a fair post. Wilder has the dimensions to make it a difficult fight if he actually develops a great jab and uses his feet.

    That said, Povetkin shatters that glass :hey

    He has to fight him sooner or later or vacate the title. There is no way he does that.

    Great post. Its a 50/50 fight, I give Wilder a slight edge. Look at it this way, Wilder has a much better resume than Foreman did when Foreman beat Frazier, and Povetkin doesn't have nearly as good a resume as Frazier did.
