    Huge old George fan, but it would be a huge points win for Povetkin.

    Povetkin needs to get inside to be successful. Thats completely the wrong strategy to use against Foreman.

    How old was Foreman when he fought Schulz?:think

    I think several folks are overestimating the size difference between Foreman and Povetkin. Foreman doesn't have the height and reach advantage over Povetkin that Klitschko has.
    Povetkin has a great chin, great timing and a great tactical mind for boxing. If Guido Trane could box circles around Foreman for a disconcerting amount of rounds, I'm pretty sure Povetkin could do it for the whole fight and win. Besides, prime Foreman versus prime Povetkin is not an automatic win for Foreman either.

    he stopped charr.
    to be fair charr is a kebab man who shouldn't have been in a boxing ring, never mind getting a title shot.


    but vitali was lucky enough to stop off in his kebab shop for a bite one night, and he liked the kebab so much hey presto he got a new contender for his title. or vits forgot his wallet and used a shot at title as an IOU.

    I would hope Povetkin would change it up and go for a decision. If not George knocks him out.

    How old was he when he fought Guido Trane? See that fight and keep in mind Trane is nowhere near Povetkin.

    Foreman is not that much bigger than Povetkin

    Most of the knockdowns vs Klitschko were bogus. Furthermore, Klitschko could not stop him and Povetkin was not in "survival mode" like Haye etc. Not to mention Foreman in his prime was KOed one more time than Povetkin against a lighter punching opponent.;)

    See Jimmy Young fight.

    Great tactical mind= 154 wins 8 losses ( 7 of them avenged ) in combined amateur-professional contests compared to Foreman's ?
