Is it fair to say that Povetkin has at least the 3rd best HW cv amongst the active hw

    The Chambers win was good but the others?

    Byrd was well past his best, Chagaev has had AIDS for years & he was completely outmanned by Huck, a spirited but limited CW in his most recent fight.

    Personally a CV must include performances & other factors beyond an X or an O on boxrec. Thats why Haye has a better CV imho

    No. Beating washed up Chagaev and a bunch of old guys mean nothing. He got killed by Huck in Huck's first HW fight. Povetkin is inactive and he makes excuses and also fights weak opposition. Why fight Rahman?

    Wlad
    Vitali
    Haye
    Fury
    Pulev
    Adamek
    Arreola
    Solis
    Povetkin
    Boytsov

    I'd hate to be one of those people but Haye is #3. He beat Dereck in better fashion than anyone and he lasted 12 rounds with Wlad.

    Povetkin has a good resume. He was brought up much faster than most fighter are today. A LOT faster. Byrd, Chambers, Brock were all good wins at that time. Especially Chambers. Then a good fight against Haye's mandatory Chagaev, who only lost to Wlad at that time.
    Povetkin has only two minuses right now. Barely "won" against Huck and the ducking against Wlad. But I think that he will fight him next year. We'll see

    Only 3rd best fighter in a division to not be ready for a title fight in his 30s. Insane.

    Haye beat the French Tyson close to his prime than Wlad did.

    Haye>>>Povetkin.

    While Povetkin was still a little baby, Butterbean was calling out Mike Tyson.

    Haye's the third best hw and if Povetkin ever fought the brother's or Haye he would go to sleep early and he knows it Alexander to me is the fourth best hw i have Pulev ranked ahead of him to

    Wlad beat Barret in his prime, Haye beat Barret 10 years removed from his prime.

    Also how does the fact that Haye beat Mormeck before Wlad did prove that Haye>> Povetkin? I cant find the logic in this :think

    Huck clearly lost to lebedev and that was a robbery, fight with Povetkin was close ,but I think Povetkin won .
