Comments Thread For: WBC Anticipates Wilder vs. Povetkin in Early 2016

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..

povetkin moves very well on his feet. his foot speed is underrated. if wilder were to dominate povetkin I would be majorly shocked. I think povetkin chops him down like a tree within 6 rounds

Yes now I will not argue that Sasha is the No 1 ranked contender in the world. But at the time of the Wilder and Stiverne fight he was not. Stiverne was by most publications.

Close, Stiverne was #2 contender behind Sasha.

I guess this means Wilder vs. Arreola in the fall?

It'll be interesting to see the purse bid cause Ryabinsky has the type of money where he could get this fight in Russia if he wanted.

I see both of these things happening...Wish they could find someone better than Arreola though

I'm white and I'm probably the biggest Wilder fan on this forum, but even I think Povetkin is an awkward fight. I still think Wilder can take him and vise versa, but Wilder is the one with physical advantages

I don't call a wasp guts, chicken neck and flamingo legs "physical advantages".

I DO call the sturdy bullterrier frame of Povetkin a physical advantage though.

Wilder is outmatched in every single factor except range, of which he cant use enough to keep Povetkin at bay who excels at closing the gap.

Wilder doesn't have enough power to knock Povetkin out either but Povetkin has enough power to shatter Wilders jaw though.

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.

You got a lot to learn....never knew it we be all and end all...so this whole time, all these divisions......this whole sport.....is all about who the longest guy in the divisions is......ok I get it now

[Banderivets]

I'll put whatever you want.

I'll bet all of my'n against yours...you cover me or I cover you whatever...Its on.

It's all probably for naught. My guess is Wilder goes straight into negotiations with the Wlad-Fury winner and makes Sasha wait. Makes the most sense for everyone excluding Sasha.

ohh man.....this is not even a contest, this is a 10-1 fight. Povetkin starches Wilder, who'll be there to dust the ring after?
