    Povetkin been shape all of his life. Guy in early 40s and still keeps going. Yes he used Peds but thats just the nature of sport where millions of dollars are in line.

    I'd say he is 2nd best heavyweight of the Klitschko era. And now top 5 heavyweight.

    I agree...he looks much younger too.

    He still has good fights left in him.

    Whyte

    Chisora

    Ruiz

    Parker

    I can see any of these fights happening in the next year or so

    You have to respect his professionalism and discipline.

    Compared to alot of the other guys on the bill last night. He put them to shame.

    People outside the top 20 look good against Wilder, even Eric Molina looked good against Wilder.

    I've always said Povetkin is the best non-Klitschko of "the Klitschko Era." Underrated historically at the moment, I feel. And what good aged 40 form did he show on Saturday.

    Are ye all serious ? Povetkin is juiced out of his mind, he failed two drug tests for god sake. My grandmother would still be in shape at 82 if she was on the juice

    40 isn't that old to be in good shape. Klitschko had a 6 pack at 41.
