Comments Thread For: Team Wilder: We're Not Going To Sit, Wait For Povetkin

[BOMB ZQUAD]

The Povetkin who fought Perez and Takam would beat Wilder IMO

[Ravens Fan]

Wilder fans are not converned at all because Wilder is simply the better boxer. He throws more, he lands more, he has more power, more speed, more length, more mobility, more everything:

And in case you think I'm just some Wilder-jocking hack let's look at some sample fights for comparison.

Let's look at the punch stats for Povetkin-Huck and Wilder-Stiverne (Two 12 round fights)

Povetkin against Huck

Total punches: 172/561 - 31%
Jab: 41/213 - 19%
Power punches: 131/348 - 38%

Wilder against Stiverne

Total punches: 227/621 - 37%
Jab: 120/420 - 29%
Power Punches: 207/201 - 53%

Wilder also has a much higher KO ratio, a good indication he hits with far more power.

I think we can safely see Wilder will jab Povetkin into next week until he lands the big one.

Then all the Sasha lovers can go back to worshiping the Eurostiffs they love so much while Wilder goes on to bigger and better things..

I personally see nothing in Wilder that tells em that he is a better boxer then Sasha. As far as comparing the fights that is just a joke right? If it isn't it should be. And why?

For one you only compared two fights and that doesn't tell much of anything. But unfortunately for you you don't have much of a sample size. And why? Simply because Povetkin has consistently fought a much higher level of competition. Therefore overall you really cannot compare the two.

In my opinion the fact that all Stiverne did was follow Wilder around the ring and threw an occasional wild punch has to be taken into consideration. Dang, my Grandmother may have even out landed Stiverne if she fought him that night.

The fact that Sasha was fat and out of shape and gassed pretty early against Huck also has to taken into account. And once again I wonder if you truly watch the sport of boxing. Just to make it clear I am not a Povetkikn fan and I am also not a Wilder Hater.

Wilder has to fight someone in the top 15 WBC rankings.





Povetkin fought Huck eons ago and it's not relevant to use this fight as a comparison.

Povetkin has reinvigorated his career since the Klitschko loss; since the loss he's faced 3 highly ranked contenders and he's KO'd 'em all. That's definitely something to be concerned about if your Jay Deas or any other member of Team Wilder.

I want to see Wilder face Povetkin but I don't fault his team for procrastinating the fight. They need to work out all the flaws/kinks in his game before getting into the ring with a world beater like Povektin

Povetkin was losing to Takam before the knockout. Povetkin is still the same guy he's always been, he didn't all of a sudden become George Foreman or something haha

Povetkin's comp hasn't been THAT much higher. Would you pick Chagaev over Stiverne in a fight?

Comparing fights gives one a good idea how a fighter fights and what the output looks like. It's a very relevant way to look at fighters..

What? No response needed to the bold. I also believe you are grasping at some serious straws by mentioning Chagaev. And you can compare fights to the end of time if you wish. But when you do so there is way more that needs to be taken into consideration other then just the numbers. And if you don't understand that I honestly don't care!

Honestly I don't know what in the f*** you are even arguing. That Wilder should fight Povetkin? OK. I agree and he will if the Wlad fight falls though. It probably just won't be this year because you know like fights take time to negotiate and all that. Especially when you have two fighters with the backers these two do. So in the meantime, Wilder is going to pick some guys to go some rounds. WTF is the problem??!!

That is because I am not arguing I am simply pointing out that your reasoning is rather flawed to say the least. I am also not a Wilder fan so when it comes right down to it I really honestly don't care who he fights next. On that note this conversation is over.

Thank god..

Yeah, I can imagine its a real b!tch for you to be running out of the lame a$$ excuses you presented.
