    No. What I'm saying is two is greater than one. Povetkin can go left, right and straight whereas Baer is straight in. The old saying I heard around the gym since the late 70s was a whole fighter beats half a fighter. Baer is closer to "half a fighter" while Povetkin is closer to the "whole fighter".

    Do you plan on getting me banned like you did him and anyone else who is not in lock step with your agenda?

    This guy thinks Holmes from the 70's couldn't beat anybody today and Roy Jones would be lucky to have a win or two.

    Best leave him to it.

    Fair enough. But wouldnt power also be a factor? And for the record, i never said Baer would beat Povetkin. I do like his chances considering the Huck fight though.

    I agree.

    Very similar, Baer and Huck, skillswise. But I'd say Huck has 2-3 inches on him, and about 12-15lbs of lean muscle.

    Also.....that was about the chubbiest we'd ever seen Potvetkin.

    So, yeah, on Potvetkins worst night, and Baers best........I'd take Baer to take a points win over 15 rds. Maybe a 13th or 14th rd stoppage.:think

    I just checked, Baer is actually taller with a longer reach.

    To entertain the very concept of a Max Baer beating Aleksandr Povetkin can only come from the darkest recesses of the most disturbed, bigoted, agenda laden minds polluting this ethereal plain of boxology.

    I dont know, did they? Tyson was listed as 5'10" and a half to 6" tall. Accordi.g to Vinny Paz in a picture i questioned him about hes only about 5'9". Ive met Marvin Hagler more than once, i can can tell you hes not more than 5'7". So is there a difference between then and now? If so how do YOU know who is or isnt lying? :huh
