    Povetkin.

    Pulev has no right hand, and is stationary.

    Would be a good defense for Povetins WBC title. Would like to see this match up at the end of 2016/early 2017.

    Sasha won't hide behind bums like Molina and Dahapuas when he takes Wilder's trinket. Can see this fight happening.

    Pulev would take first few rounds with his jab but he doesn't have legs to keep Povetkin off him. Povetkin close decision.

    I see no reason why Povetkin doesn't take this. Pulev appears to be one hand dominant. Gotta do more than that to beat Povetkin.

    This is a pick 'em for me. First thought was "Povetkin takes this easily". But I think Pulev as a good chance here. 55:45 for Povetkin IMO.

    At least 3/4 of the top HW if not more are Wlad leftovers.

    Clearly Povetkin, probably by KO. Pulev is kinda overrated, but would be perfect for the Russian with his sloppy style.

    Sasha. Might not be easy, Pulev is a strong guy.

    I personally think that age favours Pulev's style more than Povetkin's
