    Wilders taller, longer, better jab, and the harder puncher. What physical characteristics were you talking about?

      povetkin KOs wilder.

      wilder isn't very good. he throws wild wacky windmill punches, and his chin is glass.

      povetkin is far more superior in terms of skill, power and defense.

        When you say physically that implies strength. I have never seen "physical" being used in boxing to describe anthropometric features of a fighter.

        And since when did height and reach become "it" in boxing?

        Wilder looses to Povetkin, there is nothing else to say. You can claim otherwise but come fight time you will see what happens. Put some money on it, put points up, whatever.

          When did height and reach become "it" in boxing???!! Are you freaking serious? Yeah I guess those "tale of the tape" things were just for fun this whole time. Why would anyone care about a fighter's reach? LOL.

          Povetkin is the most overrated fighter on NSB. He was freaking losing the fight to Carlos Takam before the knockout. He gasses in like round 4. He is a good fighter, nothing special. Wilder is special...

            People really seem to despise Wilder. I think he beats Povetkin. He's on a similar level to Stiverne is my eyes and Wilder outclassed him.

                Get your eyes checked then.

                Unlike Stiverne, Povetkin isn't a flat footed counter puncher.

                  He's pretty flat-footed. He has a little better output than Stiverne, but Stiverne also looked a heck of a lot better in fights before Wilder beat the s*** out of him.

                  I think Wilder will beat Povetkin worse than Stiverne..

                    Didn't say they were the same fighter. Said they were at a similar talent level. I think Stiverne has better stamina and might take a punch better.

                      What's so great about Povetkin? I've only seen him fight 2 or 3 times and to be honest nothing stood out to me about him.
