    I dont think he beats Briggs IMO! Like Dunn said...The Molina fight was a big step backwards!

      I believe so. 8-9" reach advantage, faster, better feet, great jab, more power.

      Povetkin can maybe get inside to do some damage but he's going to take an awful beating in the process. I think Wilder stops Povetkin as he tries to get inside with his short arms..

        If Molina was able to get inside; why wouldn't Povetkin?


        Povetkin can crack and he has a chin. I think Wilder is packing some fine glass.

          It was a giant step back. I didn't think he would beat Stiverne, but then he looked horrid against that janitor Molina.


          Wilder is so limited. Power? Sure. Good athlete? Sure. Good boxer? Not really.




          Plus his right hand is all ****ed up. Only a matter of time.

            Why would you think Wilder is packing glass? Or that Povetkin has a chin? There's no evidence of either.

            Wilder took shots from Stiverne and Molina without getting seriously hurt at all. Both have power. Povetkin was hurt by Marco Huck for god's sake. Wlad floored him with a jab lol.

            Molina is just a bigger guy than Povetkin. Couple inches taller, 4" more in reach. That fight tells us nothing about how Wilder would fight Povetkin

              This is a good fight.

              Briggs has a solid chin--Vitali couldn't finish him off.

              Wilder would impress the public by knocking out Briggs.

                Why not fight Briggs? If you're going to fight someone who is not rated highly it should be Briggs just for the Entertainment Value leading up to the fight which I think would help draw big ratings

                  Briggs is not ranked in the top 15 by the WBC, so by their rules, he cannot fight for the title.

                    Briggs would knock chicken legs out

                      Hes been knocking bums out. So im not gonna go as far and saying hes a power house. He spent a lot on energy wailing punches at cab drivers. He built up a record from nobodies. Stiverne IMO was a tad bit better in opposition. We will see how he does after his loss on what he was really made of. Im still not impressed.

                      As for Briggs. If Wilder beat Briggs. I still wouldnt be impressed. Not saying it is a career defining win if were to happen lol. But it would be the most lucrative fight out there for him.
