Povetkin would have ironed Wilder out so bad.

    Povetkin was a serial drug cheat. He got popped at least twice for different drugs and got banned by the WBC from being ranked due to his cheating. Wilder would KTFO a clean Povetkin, but you'd never see it.

      He wanted the Hrgovic fight but Bakole wouldn't let him back out of that contract and that fight was all wrong for him.

      It's easy for clowns to call anyone with a loss a "bum". Especially from their couch. However it also lets me know who has likely never been punched very hard in their lives. I've been separated from my senses by lesser men than Johan Duhaupas so I will never call him or any other fighter of his level a bum.
      Fantastic post. Respect.

          I'm convinced even the washed up version AJ beat would have flatlined any version of Wilder.
          Ah yes! Along with the whole gaggle of amateur trained late professional fighters.

            Povetkin cheated for a reason. He knew he couldn't win without it, and he rather get suspended than knocked out.

                  i have a feeling yoka was on the juice through most of his wins,he literally looks like a totally diff fighter these days,losing to a aged carlos takam ,before his 1st lost i really thought yoka would be a force in the heavyweight division,

                    Yeah, you're probably spot-on with that. I seem to recall he got suspended for avoiding drug testing early on in his career.
