Povetkin is vastly overrated

lololo as Spilka was giving him trouble before the lucky KO. Wilder has **** boxing skills, and throw wide looping punches Funny because he is not leaving russia with a w unless he scores a KO bahahahahah Or he could win a points decision.

I meant here. Seems like most of NSB expects Povetkin to beat Wilder. Maybe that changed and I haven't been paying attention. I just think nearer to the fight people are more willing to vent their true feelings.

After wilder loses, I don't want to hear sh1t. Didn't Floyd say "real skills" win fights? I believe uncle roger and Sr. say the same thing. Also, the more realistic thing that'll happen is all the people who love wilder now, on April 18, 2016, will either one, go into hiding like brushmyhair after the Super Bowl, or two, say wilder wasn't that good to begin with. It'll happen. Anyone who has any time on this site knows this is a recurring theme.

Povetkin isn't favored. Wilder opened as a very slight favorite I meant here. Seems like most of NSB expects Povetkin to beat Wilder. Maybe that changed and I haven't been paying attention.

I think people are way overlooking Wilder in this matchup. I get why Povetkin is favored, and I think I'm favoring him too, but I will not be the least bit surprised if Wilder wins. Povetkin isn't favored. Wilder opened as a very slight favorite

But the height and length is the relevant measure here. Weight is not as important to Wilder because he's more likely to back out of range than clutch and grab a la Klit.. I'm just pointing out that despite their similarities in height, they're both built quite different. But I get your point.

His knockouts of Charr, Takam and Perez led people to overrate him a little, I feel. The Wach fight showed he still has some problems with taller fighters and Wlad proved that he could be shut down in the clinch. He's a damned good fighter against fighters his own size who aren't afraid to come to him, but taller fighters who can keep him from getting in range seem to be his kryptonite. Yeah he's just a tad small for the modern HW division. Give him a guy roughly his size and he's a problem. Anyone bigger than him gives him tons of problems..

Never been a big fan of Sasha. Small, relatively slow. He can do some work from midrange but he's not the Russian killer many fans believe him to be..

Wilder is just as tall as Fury, he's nowhere near as big. Wilder and Povetkin are around the same weight. But the height and length is the relevant measure here. Weight is not as important to Wilder because he's more likely to back out of range than clutch and grab a la Klit..

Yeah Wilder is just as big as Fury. Modern Heavies are just monsters.. Wilder is just as tall as Fury, he's nowhere near as big. Wilder and Povetkin are around the same weight.

NSB claim: "Wilder will duck Povetkin." Wilder: *Signs to fight Povetkin in Moscow* NSB response: "Povetkin is overrated." Can you categorically prove that the people claiming Wilder was ducking Povetkin are the same group as are now claiming Povetkin is overrated? I'm not saying they're not, but that's quite an assumption.

Fury is 6'7", he's tall as f*ck. He's taller than Wlad. Povetkin is 6'2"...taller than Tyson, Holyfield, Byrd who had great success versus much taller fighters. Yeah Wilder is just as big as Fury. Modern Heavies are just monsters..

Because NSB is one guy right? Povetkin isn't overrated. Westerners don't even know who he is, how can he be overrated? It's going to be a skill vs size matchup. Even if Wilder knocks Povetkin out in rd 1 I will still say Povetkin is the more skilled fighter, because he is, visibly so and dramatically so. But look at his size: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZJcFzbWQAAU6Jb.jpg:large Nobody needs any excuse other than that. Looks like Hatton standing next to Kovalev. Fury is 6'7", he's tall as f*ck. He's taller than Wlad. Povetkin is 6'2"...taller than Tyson, Holyfield, Byrd who had great success versus much taller fighters.

I can't wait for this fight povetkin is a very good fighter wlad was clinching like **** against him

Once Wilder signs to fight Fury, the "Fury is overrated" threads will begin.

LOL. Wilder throws more punches than just about anyone in the division. But hey don't let that get in the way of your Wilder hate..
