    I don't know why you ask "Would you prefer Waterloo without Blucher?" Blücher barely makes an appearance in the movie Waterloo, but in real history he was instrumental in the defeat of Napoleon. I'm not especially sympathetic to Germans, I have no German heritage, and I don't like Adolf Hitler...

    Some of those mentioned, such as Stalingrad, The Eagle Has Landed, The Last Valley, Das Boot, and Cross of Iron generally did not portray Germans in a positive light, although they had a few German characters who were not portrayed as evil, such as some of the common soldiers in Cross Of Iron...

    Joshua vs Povetkin

    I can't see Povetkin winning this. Joshua is in his prime, much bigger and has home country advantage (UK officials have been known to assist home boxers with early stoppages and bad scorecards). I hope I'm wrong about this and Povetkin pulls off the upset.

    Gennady Golovkin vs Canelo Alvarez II

    I'm looking forward to this one - it should be a great fight between two top P4P boxers! Both are physically-fit, well-prepared, and highly motivated to win. I think it's a 50-50 matchup. Golovkin is very likely slowing down a bit at age 37, but he's still very good. May the best man win.
