It's actually not that much better than Wilder's. You can bring up top 10 fighters all you want, but it doesn't mean anything when that fighter is only in the top 10 because he fought bums.
Povetkin's best wins:
Takam, Chagaev, Chambers
Takam & Stiverne are by far the best wins each man has on their resume and are pretty equal level of fighters. Perez doesn't count as he didn't even train, same result would occur with Wilder. After that is a big fall off in quality.
Chagaev-Has close wins over Valuev, Oquendo, Ruiz, and Vyrchys. An elite fighter would not struggle so mightily with all these guys. Valuev, the best win out of all 3, has a robbery over Holyfield, and could barely beat Ruiz, he too is an extremely overrated fighter.
Chambers-A close win over Peter & Brock, KO'd by Wlad, a loss to Adamek, and a loss at cruiser. What has he proven against quality competition other than he loses?
Povetkin also struggled badly with former protected cruiserweight champion Marco Huck. He also got badly beaten by Wlad, even Jennings put up a much better fight.
Who else is left on Povetkin's resume, Boswell, Charr, Estrada, Donald, Byrd, Wawryzk, Rahman? Wilder would run through all of these guys.
It's Stiverne & Takam, then everyone else. Povetkin didn't exactly dominate Takam either like Wilder did Stiverne. He got buckled a couple of times and the fight was relatively close until the KO.
