    Povetkin is like a higher level Arreola? What the hell's going on here?

    Heavyweight, Hmmm

    My mother in law

    She is a beast, a real savage, I reckon she would have battered all of those 39, although I believe they would have probably asked her to shave her overgrown beard/facial hair so it might have taken something away from her punch resistance.

    Not only the top 5 HW’s but the top 5 Cruisers would easily go 39-0 with Wilders opposition.

    This is basically asking if anyone would go 8-0 through Scott, Stiverne, Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka, Arreola, Washington and Stiverne (2nd time). Because the other 31 opponents are basically worthless.

    So the answer is yes, there are other heavyweights who would have ran through that list (probably without losing any rounds to Szpilka and Washington in the process). There are even cruiserweights who could do it.

    AJ, Povetkin, Pulev, Usyk, Gassiev (probably a few more guys) would really roll through those 39 opponents, more than likely without getting knocked down or losing rounds here or there.

    In fact, a typical established world class fighter usually goes through tougher back-to-back roster than Stiverne, Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka etc. However, beating Wilder's opposition and beating Wilder himself are too different things. Wilder is still a bit uncoordinated but he gradually became a very serious opponent for anyone in the division.

    stallions answer was basically what i was going to say

    only a few fights on wilders resume are to be counted

    imo that is washington/spilzka/stiverne

    millers im your face/plodding style walks through all of them and i dont have miller beating anyone in the top 6 h2h

    I like Wilder and his confidence, which borders on overconfidence. I can tell with his body type that if he takes a big punch by a decent puncher he will go down. You can see it in his body type. There is not much there to absorb a big punch. He better work on his defense and get some experience. He is lucky he is a tall guy with some speed but I just see his tall thin frame as a problem to taking big punches. It helps him give a good punch though. In an era like Lennox had, I don't know how well Wilder would have done.
