      Povetkin is the better boxer but his size disadvantage creates a chance for Wilder to steal the fight.

      I don't see any chance for Adonis against Kovalev anymore. Kov-Ward is more intriguing. Much more.

        Stevenson-Kovalev because it's for the undisputed championship in the division.

          One has no way out but to fight. The other will keep making excuses until he retires.

            Both are really interesting I think both are 50/50 kinds of fights.

            Wilder and Povetkin is a real contrast of styles and there is a place where both guys will have an advantage. It is one of those classic Teddy Atlas type fights where it is all about where the fight is held at or "location, location, location" in Atlas speak.

            Kovalev and Stevenson are both offensive ****ers who like to fight from similar areas so it is a match-up of strengths really.

            Hard to pick since both are interesting for different reasons, but I suppose if I had to choose one I would go with the one for all the marbles rather than a fight to decide who is 2nd best.

              Stevenson/Kovalev has been overcooked at 400 degrees to the point of being burnt at this point. I don't want it or care about it anymore.

              The heavyweight division is where it's at right now.

                bro lol

                Even if Wilder is a limited fighter, his advantages in size and power is going to be huge enough where he'll have a chance at winning..

                Stevenson doesn't stand a chance against Kovalev IMO, which is why I prefer the more competitive fight

                    Eh, two fights that won't happen. Stevenson can time Kovalev, and Kovalev can be dropped early. I think that's the more evenly matched fight. Wilder is going to get measured by Povetkin, and then the Russian will move in for the kill.
