I don't see how wilder beats povetkin

i'll say povetkins has to train for ko..or many kd's..bc he cant win a decision with wilders volume and clean punching...
wilder can also ko povetkin

so imo ist a 75-25 fight for wilder now..

[richardt]

who did ggg fight in his first 2 defenses?
he is showing progression and learning and povetkin is next...
povetkin better train for the ko bc he cant win a decision..lets at least admit that much

How does two guys doing the same thing excuse one or the other?

I love Easy Rider, that is accept for the ending. I also think Dennis Hopper is one cool dude, or should that be past tense? And nothing like long rides on a Harley its quite intoxicating.

When I saw the ending, my jaw was dropped for 5 minutes. It has the same shocking ending as Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. But yeah, Dennis Hopper was amazing in the movie where he played a guy addicted to helium, among other things.

I don't follow the Ravens but by reading your post it seems your defense is suffering post-Ray Lewis the same way our defense fell of the side of a cliff post-Brian Urlacher. I doubt I'll last past halftime tomorrow (we got the 0-2 Seahawks, and they're gonna be pissed off).

Honestly, I believe Ray played a year or so to long. But I am happy that he was able to get a second ring in his last year. The fact that Suggs is done, and I believe he will retire, hurts them on the field and also a huge lose in the locker room. I believe its just going to be a long painful season. With that said it is the Ravens 20th Anniversary. So it seems that they have decided that they would play like the first year 4-12 Ravens to celebrate their memory.

Liked what I saw from wilder. Leaky defense but he sure has some good punches in his arsenal. I called how he would switch tactics from defensive counterpunching to inside fighting and brawling... also called that he should do uppercuts and body shots a few rounds prior to him doing that. Also called how he adjusted and slid to his right to land that hook when Duhapas tried to duck. Entertaining fight and quite a physical display as well!

Like the offensive brain I'm seeing from Wilder..now he just needs to shore up his defense! Bomb squad!

I thought the ending ****** big time. Another one that ****** was the ending of another decent motorcycle movie "Electra Glide in Blue."

We all can have an opinion for sure...but when it based on untruths...then the truth must be heard....sanders was not duhuapas ok but he was also not lennox Lewis.....but sanders had quick feet and quick hands and had massive power in his left hand....this frenc guy did not have any of that..he was a journeyman period ....and your basing your argument on Corrie sanders who was an underdog who should never have won but he did...its a completely different scenario ...we are talking about a heavyweight titleholder in wilder and he Is just mediocre and he will lose to klitchko,povetkin,joshua or even a Jennings ...100 percent

Sanders had 3 rounds over 2 years, and was a mandatory for Klitschko's 6th defense of the WBO title. Tonight was the same scenario as Klitschko-Sanders, except Wilder was fighting a guy who had been in the ring recently. The only real difference is that the game underdog that challenged Wilder didn't turn Wilder's lights out. Based on untruths my ass. Klitschko picked out a no hoper and got caught. Stop with the BS.

You'd be better off just admitting that a motivated heavyweight fighter can be a dangerous opponent for anyone. Rahman wasn't supposed to beat Lewis. Douglas wasn't supposed to beat Tyson. Sanders definitely wasn't supposed to beat Klitschko. It's a part of the fight game. If the only boxing fans were guys like you, Tito would have been written off for losing to a 36 year old BHop :/

In his first two defenses Wilder fought 2 guys that NO ONE has even heard of and are not in the top 10 so just what the hell is his team protecting him from??? I praised him for the many things he displayed against Stiverne but his opposition since then has been abysmal!!

What heavyweight fights are actually known of?

Klistchko is the only heavyweight name that casual boxing fans might pick up, and non-casual fight fans may be able to mention maybe 6 other current fight names beyond Wilder.

Eric Molina was a top-25 heavyweight when he fought Wilder, with Duhuapas being rated in the top-40 heavyweights; just because you haven't heard of the name doesn't mean that the opponent brought in was supposed to be a bum.

Wilder now has Duhuapas, Molina, Stiverne, Malik Scott, Kelvin Price, Audley Harrison, and Siarhei Liakhovich(former world champion) as quality names on his resume. hate if you want

I agree with your post, but Audley Harrison isn't a quality opponent lol

You can't deny that Wilder does have some talent, solid jab and a wicked right hand. However, is he the next great heavyweight? No, to put it into perspective he is just an exciting fighter, kind of reminds me of Michael Grant in his prime. People talking about Klitschko losing to Sanders that was over a DECADE ago and at least Sanders was ranked in the top 10 and I am pretty sure Duhaupas nor Molina are ranked anywhere near there. I wish Deontay the best but if he doesn't work on not backing up with his head straight up, than other top heavyweights will exploit that. I don't think Duhapas was a good opponent to prepare for Sasha, he should have fought Amir Mansour; similar style and height.
