Mr Deontay Wilder has to first avenge his embarrassing KO loss to light heavyweight / cruiser weight Evgeny Romanov before he is even worthy of qualifying as an opponent to Alexander Povetkin.

If Deontay Wilder can't even beat Evgeny Romanov, then it means he can't beat Alexander Povetkin. And if he can't even beat Alexander Povetkin, it means he can't beat Mike Tyson. Logic works!

Tyson is right, sorry wilder is

Lol the two posters above me are pitiful.

Thems the facts right there. He is correct. I think even Parker could beat Windy. Hey somebody has to be the worst champion ever.....Wilder gets the honor.

Pedvetkin is easy work, he hasn't beaten a single top 5 HW since 2011 vs Chagaev in a completely different landscape.

Pedvetkin belongs to the era where Wilder, Fury, AJ, Ortiz, Parker, literally every single top 5 HW today were absent/in development.

He showed his lack of class numerous times, getting annihilated vs Wlad, I mean even Jennings did WAY better than this scrub vs Wlad, AJ/Fury beat him.

Even on PED's like Ostarine it was taking him 4 rounds to finally adjust to a fighter like Takam. No idea why this guy get so much hype.

What are you talking about? Some old amateur fight? You're living in the past! Evgeny Romanov is Coley Wallace. Obnoxious people used to mention his name, too, whenever there was a discussion about Rocky Marciano. Reminding people that an amateur Wilder lost to Romanov is like reminding people that Lance Armstrong used to use training-wheels when he was a kid. Or Michael Phelps used to wear water-wings when he was learning to swim. It's like your friend noticing that you're wearing dry pants and then reminding you about your old childhood bed-wetting problem. It's irrelevant now because you're grown and you've learned to control your bladder.

Logic only works if you employ it.

That's all well and good. But Alexaneder Povetkin is 38 years old now. has had around 200 amateur boxing + professional boxing + kickboxing bouts combined against much bigger sized opponents and fully grown men, even from a young and he's still never been stopped once.

So what excuse does Deontay Wilder have of getting demolished by a 6 foot 0 light heavyweight / cruiser weight? When Alexander Povetkin has been regularly facing super heavyweights but is still yet to ever be stopped?

The comparison is between Povetkin and Wilder and that's why I'm performing this comparison.

Deontay Wilder is still yet to prove he can beat a pressure fighter who specializes in bobbing and weaving and combination punching on the inside. The last time he fought an opponent of that type, it was against Evgeny Romanov and he was brutally stopped. So maybe he could face him again to prove he has improved since then. Otherwise, he isn't a match for Alexander Povetkin. It's easy work for Povetkin! Since Povetkin > Romanov!

And if Wilder can't beat Povetkin, he sure as hell can't beat Mike Tyson!

There are levels to this!
