Povetkin can beat W. Klitschko

It's not out of the question, but it's impossible for me not to favor Wlad by a solid margin at this point.

I think if Pulev keeps on the path he is on could be a good challenge in 1.5 - 2 years.

 

I imagine that'll be his next fight after Chambers if everything goes well.

 

There was always big hype about Povetking but I couldn't really see him beating WALD. I just think he doesn't have the movement and his career has gone backwards after a very promising start when he was tested in some early fights. I'd rather they put him in with a Peter or Tony Thompson before fighting WALDO.

 

If he doesn't improve his defense, Povetkin's face is really going to get decorated by the time Wlad is through with him.

 

You should watch his fight vs Nolan and his fight today vs Mora, he's constantly improving on that. He was giving alot of headmovement today and his footwork, using angle and not fighting in straight lines, is coming along.

 

His chin would finally be tested, which at this point is a huge question mark. The fact his management team refuses to put him in against a big puncher or a guy whose physically bigger. Guys like Bryd, Chambers, Brock and Donald. All are around 6'0 - 6'1, and are between feather fisted and average punchers.

I hope Povetkin stops ducking Wlad and gets his ass whooping like a man. At the very least takes on Peter, and lets everyone see just how weak that chin is, his team is trying so hard to protect from being exposed. I think he could very well be Audley Harrison like in the chin department.

 

Agreed but he is doing this at what level?

 

Your right, size has nothing to do with it. Though if you look at their KO ratio as well as them in action. None of them are heavy hitters by any means. Povetkin's chin really has never been tested, and judging by the oppenents his team matches him up with. One must think his chin could be a problem, and the rumored sparring knockdowns are true.

 

He has a very sturdy chin, i'm sure you won't be convinced until he gets in there with Klitschko but when he does you'll be impressed at how much punishment he can take, he'll lose, but there won't be any question about his chin or heart afterwards.
