Deontay Wilder reminds me of the HW in the movie "The Harder They Fall"

[Freedom]

He beat Stiverne very convincingly. He was a legit contender.

Since then his opposition has regressed, but I do believe he will fight Povetkin.

Then we will see what he is made of.
I think he can beat Povetkin.

Stiverne was sick that night, and wasn't really a top HW anyway (only ever beat Arreola, who has needed shady judges to get past journeymen). Even 40-something Ray Austin, who was called a bum after Klitschko beat a somewhat younger version years before, was dominating Stiverne before the KO.

In a fair fight, Povetkin will beat Wilder easily. However, they will try to get the fight in the USA so they can use a crooked ref (Jack Reiss or Lawrence Cole) or a nationalistic American ref (Steve Smoger) and there will be shady judges to help Wilder if it goes to the cards.

[Master]

Wilder v Povetkin will be a good fight when and where ever it happens.

[Freedom]

Wilder will be found out if he ever fights a bona fide good HW like Joshua, Jennings, Klitschko or Povetkin.

In the meantime, the scam will continue, just like in the movie The Harder They Fall.

Hmmm..... I wonder whether Wilder would make Wlad "pull a calf muscle" like Fury did.
