If Povetkin -Wilder had happened in 2016..

He would of demolished Wilder. Wilders side never even wanted that fight, certainly want it in Russia. They cut and ran as soon as they could, they never got as far as Russia. Povetkin never got banned. He even got money back from court. Yet somehow he wasn't reinstated as mando and the fight never got rescheduled. Something about that whole episode stunk. Very fishy. EXACTLY.... Got money back, and was cleared. Wilder never made it to Russia and LEFT UK before the WBC could even make a call. Povetkin would have KO'ed Wilder and schooled him far worse than Fury did. Would have been a David Price kind of knock out. lol.

Wilder most likely would have took his head off. But it would be good while it last

We've never seen Wilder in with a good short guy but it's safe to say if he misses with that first right hand Povetkin's inside letting hooks go. Probably look similar to the Price v Povetkin fight stylistically.

Povetkin would have beaten the one trick pony. Wilder would have started crumbling mentally as soon as he got off the airplane.

Let me just say Pedvetkin was to blame for the whole thing, but I sense a relief from Team Wilder when PED was busted for PED. They stalled on that fight as much as they could. From Wilder being injured to him taking voluntary fights to test his injuries out, others tried to rewrite history that it was Pedvetkin that wanted to delay his own mandatory, but that was never the case, he didn’t want to be waiting around for his shot, so he took fights on to be active whilst Wilder test his injuries/surgeries out.

Man I was so looking forward to that fight...was going to be Wilder's time to prove what he was...hate that it was delayed...but we got that type of fight for Wilder vs Ortiz and he performed then...it was also a great fight. Facing Povetkin in Russia when he still had something in the tank, man would have been a big night.

Wilder would've been starched. Povetkin would be all wrong for him.

Wilder would need a KO to get a win in Russia, and I don’t see him stopping Pedvetkin.

Wilder would have knocked his lil ass out even with the steroids. It would have looked like the Spilka fight

Wilder would have caught him on the chin in a close fight. It would have looked similar to the Ortiz fight

2016 Povetkin was juiced up and an absolute beast, think Wilder would've folded and got chinned

I think 2020 Povetkin was going to stop Whyte.

Would have been a bad ass fight in 2016. I'd edge it to Wilder but Povetkin would have gave him hell.

..who would have won? I was very disappointed that the fight didn`t take place. I stopped supporting Povetkin than because I felt like he blew his life chance to become a world champ. I felt like Povetkin would be a favorite against Wilder in Moscow. Keep in mind Wilder had less experience than and Povetkin was 4 years younger than now. The then juiced up version of Povetkin probably beats him, the non-juiced version gets chinned.

in russia? even if the home fighter gets KO'ed he still wins on points
