Alexander Povetkin vs Ernie Shavers

Povetkin

 

A better fight would honestly by Ike Ibeabuchi vs Alexander Povetkin and I'd lean towards ibeabuchi

 

Could go either way.

 

Povetkin UD

 

I've never seen that proposed. That would be a very interesting scrap.

To answer OP's question, I would favor Povetkin by stoppage.

 

Shavers too slow for Povetkin

 

Povetkin stops him.

 

Shavers by brutal KO inside 3 rounds

 

Shavers puts Povetkin to sleep

 

Styles make fights. Povetkin was hittable . Shavers, arguably the hardest puncher of all times, clips him probably sooner then later and then it is game over

 

Shavers was hittable too and Povetkins is far more skilled on the inside.

 

Povetkin.

Shavers has the power, but Povetkin has literally everything else. With the caveat that Shavers always has a chance, you'd have to favour Povetkin heavily based on how consistent he has been.

 

And who did Povetkin ever defeat who had power...Donald, Byrd, Chambers, Charr? He got dropped often and stopped when he faced punchers in Wlad and Joshua. Shavers annihilates Povetkin who isn't all that hard to find.
