TBH I have to admit Wilder developed great, but I still bet he had like 0 chance about two years ago.
Povetkin hasn't improved the past year and he's quite light, Wilder got the best body, Povetkin got the best everything else.

Two years ago I would have put all my money on Povetkin, but I'm starting to take Wilder more and more serious actually.

I am just not sure on this one. Povetkin is a very good fighter and has had the tougher resume.
Wilder still has a lot of questions to answer.
I am picking Povetkin but I will not be shocked if Wilder pulls it off.

Looking forward to it.I hope it happens soon

If Wilder beats Povetkin it will be a good win and earn him a bit more respect and credibility.
It's a big IF though.

Its a tossup fight. I will give him credit but thats still only 2 fighters that are contenders that he has beaten. No matter what it does not excuse the years of crap opposition he fought to get where he is.

I do not think there will be more haters than pro Wilder, because he presented himself finally as a World Camp.

I like the Szpilka fight. If Wilder takes out Glaskov and Povetkin, in any order, in his next two fights after Szpilka (if Wilder gets by him) I will have little problem with him and there will be a mega fight to follow v Fury or Joshua or . . .
