    #1 vs #3 in the division in a fight with real stylistic potential.

    You rank Povetkin as the #3 in the division?

    And not really I’m more interested in Campbell vs Mendy rematch and Okolie vs Askin

    Because Fury's best win in the last 3 years is a UD over a guy a shot Kevin Johnson knocked out last year. You cannot rank Fury top 3 unless Johnson is #2

    Ortiz and Whyte are 50/50 with Povetkin but as it stands he's as deserving of the #3 spot as anyone.

    I’m not ranking them using “who beat who” I’m ranking them with the skill level they currently have and how I see them head to head against each other

    Yes I am hoping it will be a good fight with my boi getting some redemption from Wilder running from him...

    Will be funny him having all the belts with Wilder having to go to Russia to get them..

    So long as I see that animalistic expression on Povetkin’s face then yes. If he walks into his dressing room all smiles then no.

    Sort of. If we get an in shape Povetkin then we'll have a really good fight on our hands. If we get the one that showed up against Huck, then not so much.

    Okolie-Askin has my interest but other than that...not at all. I figured I'll jus get wired at my local and ramble about it to anyone who stands next to me.

    Yes! I just hope AJ has taken things seriously and hasn’t been too distracted by the whole wilder/fury circus.

    It’s a good clash of styles, povetkin will come to fight and not forgetting all the guys that thumped AJ in the amateurs were similar to povetkin.

    They’ve had excellent sparring for this so both should be very sharp on the night, I can see both fighters getting dropped at some point with AJ getting a sd

    Also looking forward to Askin banjoing okolie

    It’s two of the best heavyweights on the planet going at it. I’m looking forward to it.

    Askin v Okolie will be alright, can't say I'm excited for AJ v Povetkin. Povetkin's clearly over the hill and lacks the physical attributes to beat AJ at this time of his career. There's a reason why AJs team have taken this fight.

    The nearer this fight gets the more I am looking forward to it. Povetkin is in the top #5 heavyweights in my opinion so is a good test for AJ. Don't forget this is a mandatory challenger so it's not like AJ picked him as an easy opponent. I think AJ wins fairly early but will be a good match up whilst it lasts.

    Oh ok so you are ranking them by how good they are in your imagination rather than by real life standards

    Ok
