lets leave the fantasy fights for the retired

 

Ridiculous match-up. Sanctioned manslaughter.

 

Povetkin by either late stoppage or UD.

 

He ko's charr and takam, and you all wet ur panties. Povetkin is good no doubt, but he ain't ko'd many big men, he'd have to get passed a 85inch reach. Fury can box. Fury sd

 

Fury wins.

Povetkin fight would look similar to recent Chisora match.

 

Reported

 

Fury gets knocked out in short order

 

Fury via long range decision. When Fury sits back uses his 6'9 height, 85 reach Povetkin aint landing ****e. Fury can use his height, movement, jab, and quick hands to outpoint Povetkin and lopsided as well.

 

Like him or hate him, Povetkin is a really good athlete with a broad skill set for a heavyweight. That would be a tough fight for Fury.

 

Repeat post.

 

Be fair here guys. Who would really be surprised if the Hammer of Christ

hurts or drops Fury in their coming matchup?
Now imagine Fury against the #2 HW in the world, who recently has shown massive form?

 

I think Povetkin struggles with the sheer size and physicality of Fury but eventually he'll get to him and crack that chin of his. Fury proved against a fit Chisora that he isn't a total joke that I and many others thought he was. As awful as he looks he somehow does enough in flashes to be competitive but Povetkin will punish him for his mistakes. Povetkin late KO.

 

its funny people call fury a joke because he punch resistance isnt great, and he doesnt carry huge power. but not ustinov or wach, who have only a punch and punch resistance and little else. Fury has boxing skills, hes not a 1dimensional plodder, he just lacks a chin. Joke is a strong word for fury inside the ring, outside the ring hes funny and hilarious.

 

I think Povetkin is favourite here, as he has crisp combinations and Fury is open for right hands (at least when he fought as ortodox).

That being said, Povetkin isn't Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis by any means. As for his opponents, Charr is just punching bag, and Takam fight was VERY competitive and after 8 rounds it was even on the scorecards.

 

7inch height difference, 10inch reach advantage, 30-40lb weight difference. Povetkin is very good, but has yet has to beat a giant shw like fury, to prove to me he can win easily. probably 70/30 in favour of alexander, only because fury lacks the resistance, not the boxing skills to beat povetkin.
