Comments Thread For: WBC: Deontay Wilder Has To Face Alexander Povetkin Next

[MasterPlan]

PBC Primetime, Showtime or PPV? Which one?

[Eff Pandas]

Doesn't Povetkin still got a fight to win before this fight can be made?

I don't see Povetkin as great as others seem to, he seems pretty overrated to me. Thing is Wilder is WAYYYYYYY overrated at this point so this should be a very telling fight as far as whats up with Wilder & Povetkin.

What was the backlash? People were critical of his performance or his opponent?

People wasn't happy with him fighting Johann Duhaupas going into that fight and wanted him to fight a better opponent and rightfully so

overrated? Because Wlad had to cheat in order to beat the man? Overrated because he take on ALL COMERS, has defeated many top 10 fighters. Because he's on a vicious mean streak of KO's the last 4 fights?

Povetkin recently started taking care of himself, watching his diet, he's a lot stronger and more lean! If Povetkin get's past Wach and Wilder, I'd say he can beat Wlad in a rematch with a better ref

Title to be vacated

This will be a very good fight and will tell us where Wilder stands. If he dominates Povetkin then he has to be taken seriously.

These two are as different as night and day. It makes for a good fight.

You have Povetkin, an Olympic gold medalist who is technical, patient, and very powerful at close-range, but also limited by his reach and foot speed.

Wilder is less experienced, but athletic. He's evolved into an awkward but rugged boxer-puncher who relies on his long reach, mobility, and reflexes.
