    I'm a big fan of Povetkin and in his prime I think he schools this division as it is now, but I think his time is running out and I feel Whyte is just too far for him at this point in his career. I'll be shouting for Povetkin and hoping he does it even though Whyte deserves a title shot at this stage.

    I disagree on Wilder KOing Fury, Fury schools him again with less showboating and more aggression should finish the job off this time, although Wilder always has a punchers chance.

    This would be my preferred option to. I’d like to see Big truck go out on a win though. Love to see him spark Browne.

    Could the Morbidly Obese Dillian "Roid Rage" Whyte defeat Andy Ruiz in a Pizza Pie Eating Contest??

    This is tricky. We have no idea which version of either fighter enters the ring. The only fact we know for sure is that Povetkin is old..

    We also know that Whyte is often knocked down. And a prime Whyte is beaten black & blue by a shot Wach.

    I’m going with Whyte UD. Whyte didn’t look his best his last fight. I think he’ll be back in business vs. Povetkin though. Povetkin will be game. Should be a pretty fun fight. Whyte UD

    Why couldn't Whyte KO Wach and Rivas who are worse boxers than Povetkin?

    Head says White close UD, but heart says Povetkin.

    Whyte was in **** shape against Wach, who is quite though. And against Rivas, Whyte took the safer route of just boxing him.
    Whyte relies on a an explosive style, so he will gas late. Or he can just box at a measured pace(as he did against Rivas and Wach) and get he UD.

    But I agree. It´s strange that so many think Povetkin will get KO´d here.
    Whyte couldn´t KO Dave Allen and Helenius. Barely got the late stoppage against Ian Lewis. Browne has a glass jaw(he has been dropped by numerous guys) and the only quality KO Whyte has is against Chisora in the rematch.
    Landed a really sweet left hook to drop Parker.

    And Povetkin has shown his toughness a resilience on several occasions.

    As they say in boxing that was then and this is now. Now Povektin is old and fighting because he's broke. 4 years ago, he wins. Im picking Whyte. If Povetkin wins at this age, he might get another title shot. You know Fury, and Wilder love to give old men title shots.

    How do you know Sasha’s broke? I get the impression he’s still fighting because he loves to fight.

    No-no, he's made bad investments and owes money, that's a reason why he's still fighting. That is what I heard, and have no reason not to believe the source.
