    Povetkin would put Norton to sleep.

    I think Alexander Povetkin besides the comeback could take Foreman’s place in history almost identically.

    With or without PEDs he was caught 3 times using banned substances.

    Probably Big George, I'm not confident Wlad's chin could handle the power.

    Wlad might hurt George. George WILL hurt Wlad. Wlad fails the survival roll 19 of 20 times.

    Foreman's prime years came before PEDs were widespread in boxing. Povetkin has been juicing most of his whole career and looked way worse after he was caught. He nearly lost to Marco Huck and got dominated by Whyte. I can't see him beating Norton, Frazier, or Lyle.

    Wlad via vicious KO. It would be like the Charles Shufford fight. :deal:

    This guy noneck is completely bonkers. Totally trolling a two time world champion and oldest heavyweight champ in the history of boxing. Just think about that for a second.
