As I recall Povetkin was still trying to get the KO vs Wlad in round 12 of their blanket party of a fight despite being knocked down repeatedly. He will keep coming as the small gas tank having glass jawed fool Wilder all night and I think he will beat him.
If Povetkin could go all 12 with Wlad and get up from those knockdowns and keep coming forward, Wilder is going to have an early night. TKO 8 for Povetkin.
I like Povetkin... I think he is more skilled and his class will show after a few rounds.. But wilder always has a punchers chance and if he fights smart and tall like he did vs Stiverne it will be interesting., wilder might just pull a WLAD and lay on him all fight
wilder has better coordination? povetkin clearly is better coordinated. the only thing I see wilder having better than povetkin is one punch power
Really?
All I see Wilder having is length (generously) and a little more speed.
Povetkin is not only far more coordinated but pretty much has similar power. Wilders KO ratio being a product of power+speed+length+aggression+bums.
Wilder does not have HALF the power necessary to KO Povetkin.
The Stiverne fight completely exposed Wilder's power vs top opposition imo.
And I think Arreola would have wasted him personally!
I'll take Wilders speed and coordination by wide UD

Wilder by TKO Round 8 - 10
But there is no fight between Wilder and Povetkin.
Povetkin fights Mike Perez next. Perez wins the fight but because the fight looks like it will be in Russia, The corrupt judges will give the fight to Povetkin.
The only way Perez can win is by KO
I havent seen anything from perez that would suggest he beats povetkin. he doesnt hit particularly hard and isnt very fast either. I could see him being competitive early with his southpaw stance and awckwardness but povetkin is too busy and good a combination puncher to lose to a guy like perez
I used to dislike Wilder, but I will continue to give him credit. I still dont think though he beats Povetkin, that mans #2 HW currently and KO's 95% of the fighters in that division.
His legs are too skinny. He should be 240 lbs at least. Povetkin's girth will play havoc with Wilder's skinny insubstantial ass.
Take Stiverne, make him really aggressive, swarm and punch all night, JUST LIKE WE WANTED, paint him white, and THERE'S ya Povetkin.
Povetkin KO8 Wilder
Take Michael Moorer,make him really retarded,tie him down for ten years and make him watch Wladimir Klitschko fights with a wire Speculum to hold his eyes open(like in clockwork orange),attach him to a food dialysis machine forcing him nothing but cheeseburgers,give him a keyboard, and THERE'S ya Elroy.

Povetkin does decent work but he's too small for Wilder...
His make out session with Klitchko was an apt example of good little man vs good big man...
the only problem with that logic is wilder isnt in wlads league and doesnt know how to tie up on the inside. I just cant see wilder being able to keep povetkin on the outside all night. povetkin is no stiverne. hes much quicker of hand and foot and will get inside on wilder. this is where all those fights against inferior opposition is finally going to come back to bite wilder imo. hes never been in with a pressure fighter like povetkin
Wilder devours Marco Huck's leftovers.
Wilder TKO 8
your judging povetkin one one terrible fight? hes clearly improved since that fight and was obviously in poor physical shape that night. wilder has never fought a guy that throws combinations from body to head like povetkin and its going to be very difficult for him to deal with. of course wilder can crack hard with the right hand and always has that chance of catching povetkin but I think povetkin will weather the early storm and drown wilder late. povetkin tko8
Take Stiverne, make him really aggressive, swarm and punch all night, JUST LIKE WE WANTED, paint him white, and THERE'S ya Povetkin.
