    He would dominate the division and everyone would talk about how Wlad would have been severely KO'D by him.

    No offense lol...

    There they go again, giving a guy mega props for doing less than what Legendary men have done. If he was any good companies would invest in him, he would get peoples attention. He will waste away the rest of his fighting life being unknown to the common man.

    He'd be a legit contender in just about any era, yeah. Don't think he'd be dominant, though.

    How? He was fouled and clinched t death by Wlad.

    Wlad vs Povetkin II with the same ref from the Wlad-Jennings fight, and I bet you Povetkin will at least drop Wlad, if not knock him out.

    He'd be a top contender, probably won a title but not a dominant champion.

    He'd do far better in the 80s than he would in the 90s, and I don't believe he'd be held in as high regard as he is today in either of those decades.

    I just wrote and deleted a long summary of the fight and the knockdowns, but honestly it sounds like you didn't even watch the damn fight.

    So here's the highlights of the 'knockdowns', and you tell me how many times Wlad dropped Povetkin

    Potvetkin is 100X the fighter Bowe was, and he doesnt foul.......Potvetkin beats Bowe 90/100.....Holyfield doesnt know how to stay outta a war, and Potvetkin, unlike Tyson can box from range or on the inside.

    Potvetkin beats Holyfield 70/100

    Lewis......well, he's the GOAT.

    He beats Potvetkin 95/100 the 5 L from dropping his hands and letting Potvetkin drive a punch right through his skull.:lol:

    Potvetkin murders Holmes.

    Tyson, that is, 85-88 Tyson.....rips off Potvetkins head and shiits down his neck.

    Sadly, that's the only GREAT version of Tyson there was. Once he got hooked on women and coke, he was trash.

    Potvetkin beats the 90s Tyson all day long.:-:)-(

    :deal:deal

    Povetkin's record would be like 20-16-3 if he was fighting in the 80s/90s.
