So you're assumption is because Povetkin was able to get in on AJ so easily, he'd be able to do it Wilder just as easy?
Never mind that Wilder is faster than AJ, moves around quickly, unlike AJ, and prefers to fight from the outside, unlike AJ who likes to jab into closer contact. I mean style makes fights man, you can't just assume Povetkin would get close to Wilder because he got close to AJ, two completely different styles of fighting.
You go on to say Wilder is faster than AJ, hand speed perhaps, but his defence and technique is way behind. This leads me to assume that a worse defence coupled with the fact he's been wobbled by 4th tier opposition would play right into the skill set of Povetkin.Comment

As usual, they waited until Povetkin got old so he could only fight effectively for 3-4 rounds. As often happens, the protected fighter, Joshua in this instance, showed he was far inferior the first 3-4 rounds vs the old opponent, just like Ward vs Kovalev, just like Wilder vs Ortiz, but because they waited until Povetkin was 39, just like they waited Ortiz, GGG, and Kovalev out, Povetkin gassed and it only took a couple shots by the 25 pound bigger man to knock out the smaller old tired opponent.
Boxing in 2018, folks. It's all preplanned, WWE bull****. And for the record Joshua looked like absolute ****. This has to be the weakest era of heavyweights in the last 50 years, but they are being hyped by the promoters just to make money.
Boxing is like that - like a conveyor belt, new guys jump on and old guys fall off th eother end ad infinitum
thats why fights between 2 HOF fighters in their prime are to be cherished.Comment

Ortiz is too strong for Povetkin. He will knock him out even sooner and faster than Joshua. However, I will comment on this though. Joshua definitely got a real scare in there from the old man tonight. If only he had Ortiz' legs, power and chin. Joshua would have been in some real serious trouble. Ortiz would have stopped him.Comment

Kind of, based on the fact that Wilder has been tagged clean and wobbled by the likes Spilka, Molina etc, what would the power and pace of Povetkin do?
