    Fun fact - I met up with a Russian chick in Helsinki at the weekend whose name was Alexandra (but went by Sasha). I explained to her that her moniker of course reminded me of Povetkin (who would be fighting the next night).

    I left the bar alone.

    Povetkin's **** that never did anything but beat guys who were already sliding out of the ranking.

    No, he doesn't get ranked in all time anything. He'd get ****ed up in any era that actually forces their ladder.

    No, not top 10 or 20 or 30.
    There is nothing in his professional
    career to even suggest he is.

    An ATG Top10 ... I don't think so. BUT he is a very good boxer, just check his amateur background, he had great career. Lost only against the best one in the division. For the last 10 years he is in top10 for sure. He is underrated by most of the people on the forum and accused of cheating. Just deal with that guys... he is durable, powerful, fast, fights pretty good on the inside, has a decent jab. Everything is fine, but not his size. He seems to be short against some guys in the division. That's it.

    I wouldn't say so Baconmaker.



    Jack Johnson
    Jack Dempsey
    Gene Tunny
    Joe Walcott
    Rocky Maricano
    Max Baer
    Joe Louis
    Max Schmeling
    Bob Pastor
    Igmear JoHansen

    Thats a list of 10 solid guys without even passing the 1950's.

    I bet she had more hair on her chest than Povetkin does.

    Passport height is measured with shoes. That's were the 6'2.5" comes from. Both Ali and his trainer said that he was 6'2". Simple as that. Tall enough for the time.

    Povetkin is good enough to make Wilder run from him! He was framed by VADA, but then cleared by VADA for making a mistake, Haymon's WBC had to do what Haymon told them to do and that is to cancel the fight so Wilder would not get knocked out! Wilder will fight Breazeale next because Breazeale is owned by Haymon and was knocked out by Joshua. Joshua will fight either Povetkin or Miller next, although there is a report that Vlad might fight him again......................we don't know yet..............

    He's never accomplished a damn thing and never beat anyone worth a damn. Hell no he isn't top 10 all-time

    About six months ago, I showed a Russian girl pictures of a young Povetkin and asked if she thought he was fat. I only got a kiss on the cheek.
