[1hourRun]

joshua, ortiz, haye, wlad, tyson fury (when he comes back). They are the top guys and theres a big gap between them and the rest.

Ok....not going to debate your inconsistencies with Ortiz compared to Pedvetkin here but I got your names down...2017 the clock starts running down on the HW's on your list believe dat.

yeah well we will see who he ends upfighting in 2017, im predicting arreola II and tony thompson, which would make 2017 one of wilders best years opposition wise

[PunchyPotorff]

I don't. He was getting touched by Wach, the last tall guy he fought who is far less skilled and powerful than Wilder. Wilder is no Wlad, but it doesn't take a Wlad to use length to defeat Povetkin.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. I think Povetkin drops Wilder at least once, early on, no matter how it ends up. But I think he can do at least as well as Spilka, probably better.

Well the judges disagreed my friend. He was up on all the cards before the KO. He was never in any real danger of losing that fight..

Close fight, but it's just the Wilder fanboy talking if you really think your guy was dominating.

Close fight? You have no credibility.

And you have no authority to say who has credibility. Lighten up friend. This is just a site where fans express their opinions about fights/fighters. Not every comment you read or hear has to turn into some feking showdown.

He has some slick ways to get past the reach disadvantage, and the only time he gassed out was vs Huck which he didn't prepare properly for.



So, you don't think he's improved since then? 3+ years ago? I do. And besides, Wilder is no Wlad, even at 40.

Wilder clearly is not eager to face Povetkin, the minute traces found were not even sufficient to warrant a ban.

Wlad

Everyone who fights Wilder sees his flaws and consider him eminently beatable, which I guess he is. But they get in there and they quickly realize his size, speed, and power can more than make up for his flaws and they soon end up on the canvas. I don't think Povetkin will be any different..

Szpilka was out boxing him, he was theee rounds down at the time of the stoppage. If you believe Povetkin is not as skilled as Szpilka you've no place on a boxing forum.... well this is NSB, I take that back you're at the right place.

And a 2016 account has credibility ? Dude the guy you're talking to has far more credibility than you, who are you ? I've never even seen you post before !

No Szpilka absolutely was not winning, he was the one taking the big shots while landing very little in return. He was using movement to make Wilder miss but he was not making him pay at all which is why he was down on the cards when the fight was stopped. There is no legitimate way to score the fight that way for Szpilka and even trying to say that damages your credibility.

Povetkin also fights nothing like Szpilka and doesn't move his head unless someone is moving it for him, plus he is not a southpaw. So totally different fighters, Povetkin probably would beat Szpilka but I don't think he would have an easy go of it or that Szpilka would look like he didn't belong in the ring with him. So saying that is a terrible comparison also.
