Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Tips Povetkin: Wilder Has Too Many Weaknesses

LMAO. I'm an American who will be rooting for Wilder in this fight, but this statement is ridiculous. Prime Lewis would have beat the dog **** out of Wilder like he did to Michael Grant.

I get where you coming from, but prime Lewis got KTFO by Rahman doe

Based on the Szpilka fight I would be inclined to agree. Wilder has a huge reach advantage and legit power in his right hand, but Povetkin is probably going to outbox him. He is levels above Szpilka. He's not a southpaw but he's better in every other sense.

Anybody else read that in Lennox's accent? lol

Always.

I could tell also that he wasn't really feeling Wilder during that late-night jabbing tutorial in the car park. I know that's from years ago, but you can sense the frustration in how he acts towards Wilder. Clearly he's still unimpressed.

I agree with Lennox fully. Wilder will have to win by knockout. Theres no way he's getting a decision nod in Russia. I believe he'll land a good counter later in the fight to retain his title.

who ever thinks Wilder is gonna win a decision in Russia or go for one in Russia dont know ***** about boxing.

Wilder is gonna knock Povetkin out....he is 36, struggles with athletic guys with length and barely beat Marco Huck. Huck only has a good 1-2 and throws the occasional hook. a cruiser weight can hurt him but Wilder cant? yea right.....Povetkin gettin laid out

[hugh grant]

Maybe pov will be the man too expose wilders flaws? Wilder if you believe what people say is pushing his luck. So perhaps its wilders time to !ose?
But then again maybe wilder is 35kos from36 fights for a reason?

I completely agree. Unless Wilder improves drastically, he will not beat Povetkin, especially with Povs new found power.
