Doesnt anyone think Pedvetkin is a more skilled complete bor compared to wilder?

[adamt]

while i would of wanted to see AJ-Wilder, i think the povetkin is a tougher fight for AJ

Sure AJ could KO him, but pedvetkin is very skilled and i could see him comfortably outboxing AJ, like Wlad was doing the majority of their fight

what do you think? based on styles and not who you*want to win

[juggernaut666]

Povetkin is going to get crushed .


Skill isnt everything , Wilder poses more threat bc hes a 6'7 power puncher so skill isnt the end all here bc Povetkin is 6'2 and will stand directly in front of Joshua .

I dont think Wilder fares any better bc hes easier to rattle but Povetkin brings less danger and Wilder can make Joshua fight more cautious due to unpredictability .

PEDvetkin was getting his tail kicked in, and gassing horribly, against a cruiserweight ...and this was years ago...now hes like 40.....

that guy would have been a sitting duck for the end of a wilder right hand....but he wouldn't have been able to grab wilders waist and hold on for life....because hed face down tongue kissing the canvas

Povetkin is much more skilled than Wilder, it's not even worth arguing.

[Rip Chudd]

Povetkin is more skilled than Wilder but Wilder poses the bigger threat

[TripleJ]

Wilder's power can change any fight on one punch, but I also think Pedvetkin is a threat, even if he's not as big of a threat. Pedvetkin is a style that AJ will like because they'll stand right in front of each other and AJ has a good chance of making it an early night, but Pedvetkin is dangerous for the exact same reasons. I also think Pedvetkin is more willing to trade than AJ is, and if AJ constantly jumps back to reset like against Parker, Pedvetkin might be able to keep him on his back foot and catch him if go's for broke.

Just some thoughts, we'll find out if it gets made.

He is probably a better all around boxer and a more traditional by the book boxer with shorter more correct punches and a tighter defense. Wilder is a KO specialist with a fast long powerful left jab and a fast extremely hard straight right when he doesn't windmill it. Povetkin might win more rounds against AJ but Wilder is more likely to knock AJ out.

More orthodox you mean? If so, yes. But it won't help him in this. Plus, he is a lot smaller, the type of opponet Joshua likes to face. Styles make fights, while Povetkin is dangerous for Joshua (Joshua 60/40), Joshua is taylor-made for Wilder (Wilder 75/25)

hes the same age as Ortiz, lets see if aj fans that disrespected wilders win over Ortiz due to him being a fossil will say the same of pedvtkin. pedvtkin was a good fighter but at this point hes just a puncher. fight will be decent while it lasts, aj by KO...

There's a good chance he'd knock out chicken legs. Grandpa nearly managed it.
