The Russian machine Rostislav Plechko.

I suppose Laudelino Barros is a step up from previous competition. I'd like to see him in with somebody like Sherman Williams, Razvan Cojanu or Kevin Johnson next.

 

Although he's not gonna be a world beater, I enjoy the way Pletchko fights, does anyone know what he's up to, any fights on the horizon?

 

funny how he went from being really active fighting approximately once a month to suddenly being inactive. What's going on?

 

An almost 10 minute intro for less than half a minute of action... this guy isn't very exciting obviously

 

12 Fights 12 Wins all by TKO round 1....

 

Kinda impressive, even if it is against mostly bums.
And he has been fighting all over the place: Russia, Estonia, Finland and Latvia.

 

6'2 in today's heavyweight division will be a deficit he can't overcome at the top level against the bigger men, unless he has young Tyson's footwork and head movement, to get inside.

 

If the 50's, 60's and 70's heavyweights are favored beat the s--t out of today's weak division, then surely a brutal puncher like Plechko should be able to, right?!

 

Not from what I see of him so far.

 

he's a good can opener at least. Give him that.

 

Alexander Povetkin is 6ft 2 and he's had a very good career.

 

P.E.D.vetkin? Yeah, I'm assuming Plechko is P.E.D. free. Something P.E.D.vetkin wasn't for large portions of his career. And even P.E.D.vetkin had issues navigating the Klitscho jab and right hand style. The size and reach causes problems for smaller men who don't have the bob and weave head movement or footwork to get inside.
