Maybe that fight's caused him some lingering doubt, but to fair he'd only boxed for 2 years at the time.

Incidentally, I noticed that Evgeny Romanov, the guy who knocked him out, had his first pro fight the other day. If his info is correct he's 31 this year and only 6'0" as a HW, so I'm not expecting much.

He did all of that bending over crap in the semi finals of the Olympics against the Italian Russo. Frigging 6' 6" or whatever he is and he bent over every time Russo charged at him instead of pivoting and jabbing and throwing a cross. Russo would fall over his back every time. It was a frustrating fight to watch when you are cheering for the guy.

Maybe Romanov and Wilder need a rematch once Wilder is healed from his surgery. Then his fear of Povetkin might go away? Of course, trolls like Freedom would call it cherry picking. I could post a video of Povetkin getting knocked down 4 times vs an over the hill Wlad saying this is why he fears Wlad, but not about to stoop to that level. The smart posters would roll their eyes, the dumb ones wouldn't get it.

Wilder got a glass chin. No doubt about it. That is why he has carefully avoided good opposition.

Povetkin fought Klitschko in his prime and you know that very well. And you know very well that would be another cherry pick nowadays.

Because Povetkin is a good tough boxer thats why.

And a week before or after (at same US Olimpic team jorney to Russia) Wilder won future Olimpic Gold medalist Rakhim Chakhiev.

So what???

Lol, Povetkin would also beat any cruiserweight. Fact that that 6ft cruiserweight was seen as an opponend is already funny enough. I can't remember Povetkin ever fighting someone that light and small has he?

Povetkin fought cruiserweight Marco Huck and got his overrated ass handed to him.

Apparently you forgot how badly Povetkin struggled with cruiserweight Huck. If Wilder had a glass chin, it would have already been shattered.

^lol at both of you, it actually showed Povetkin could even win while hitting the wall! Something I've never seen any other boxer doing.

You are embarrassing dude, crawl back into the bottle and come back out when the denial is gone. Let go of the hate as well, find a hobby build a garden.Tea bagging is not a healthy choice, yet there you are everyday, face under Alexander's nuts waiting for the drop. Klitschko' s prime?? Doing what's never been seen before? Stupidest fornicating statements ever uttered.

Wilder wasn't fighting Povetkin in the (amateurs) you tube video shown.

I'm not even a fan of him, but I can't get around the facts

Povetkin had also Chris Bird (211 pounds) and Chambers (215 pounds) and bunch of less known 210+/- opponents, easily checked in Boxrec. Povetkin himself was 220- most of his career.

Wilder made US Olimpic team as a cruiser (Heavy Weight in amateur weights, 200+ called Super HW in amateur). He also was 220- in most of his fights.

I do not compere anyone to Ali, but Ali also started as LHW in Olympic Games...and Patterson even in Middle

Russo was better and much more experienced boxer when. It was his second Olympic tournament(lost to Ward in 2004, btw), he had 6-7 international tournaments before this one (Amateur Mediterranian, EU and World Championships), since 2003.

You have no idea what a fact is then. Ok, carry on with the drivel, dozens of people are waiting to read your next anti-American crock of shit.

Russo suck also. He slapped like a bitch.

When I was 3, a girl beat me up.

It would have if he was fighting good opponents, but he avoids them at all costs.

You can't deny that the European boxers are currently better as the American ones can you?

Some of them are, some of them aren't. The plethora of ways to make ridiculous amounts of money in less dangerous athletic endeavors in America may have something to do with it. Boxing just doesn't have the influence here that it used to, combine that with an underwhelming amateur program, it is no surprise we don't push out the amount of top talent we used to. I'm impressed with the Euro's I've seen lately especially the Russians at or around 160lbs, but when we look at the best pound for pound fighters in recent years I don't see as many of them as I do Americans even in this a lesser era for U.S. boxers. As of now I don't see how we can say the Euro's are all better when they haven't clearly proven it yet. They have the potential to be.

I don't think the reason is that Wilder lost some amateur fights... Joshua, Klitschko's, Povetkin, Lewis, and everybody else lost amateur fights.

The reason is, Povetkin has been training harder since his only loss and he's looked better.. He presented a significant risk so they finagled a way out of Wilder's only mandatory Title Defense so far.. The WBC has been giving DW board deference to fight whoever he wants -- and VADA is tied in with the WBC

Were they doing chicken dance multiple times in the same fight while wearing head gear ?
