Are there any other heavyweights the size of Povetkin with similar style and as skill/more skilled?

Povetkin has tremendous skill. One of the best fighters I can think of never to hold a fully legit hw title and atg for his age. He would have battered Tyson at his age, 39.

 

Gorman is listed at 6’3” on Boxrec but I think he’s an inch shorter and he’s got a similar skill set but faster hands.

 

Current HWs? No, not at all. Kownacki isn't skilled. Chisora? No. Andy Ruiz might be the closest in terms of skills, but no. Also, Ruiz is fat slob which could've easily been a LHW if he lost all his fat.

Future HWs? Usyk is more skilled and quicker. But he's not a pressure fighter, his style is completely different.

So the answer is NO

 

Gorman is a very decent prospect. 6'3" though, we're splitting hairs about what a small hw is. Povetkin crouches which makes him look a bit smaller than he is.

 

Had Anthony Joshua flattened Harrison on his way up ala Wilder he would of knocked out the previous three Olympic super heavyweight champions to go pro before him.

 

Things go in cycles im sure the smaller heavyweights will come back

 

No.
