    Everyone saying that Povetkin is declining, that is true. But nobody speaks about the fact that Whyte is also declining. his last 2 fights have been dreadful.... knocked down by Rivas, barely got the UD. then fights Wach weighing 300 pounds... it's a 50/50 for me.

    I tend to agree with you. He’s taken a lot of punches too. He’s also slurring, I know he has an accent but he definitely speaks different to how he did 5 years ago.

    Looked in terrible shape against zombie Wach.

    Iv got this SD/MD probably for whyte, as he’s the money man for future fights

    He has the long PEDS lay-off for the Wach fight. As for Rivas, we don't know how good he is. It is the same kind of thing as underestimating Wallin against Fury.

    I'll be really blunt...he is a proven PEDS cheat, and I think he almost got busted again and beat it somehow. He's not going to be the same because he is going to have go off the juice, now.

    But, innocent until proven guilty, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's let the better man win.

    Declining?, what an idiot you are. Povetkin has been beyond past it for the past 3 years.

    Nah Idiot is you, if you think Whyte hasn't deteriorated in the past few fights... he's been thru a few slug fests, on top of that he's been quite inactive... if you think he's getting better you don't know shi%t about boxing

    31 year old Whyte is picking a 40 year old fighter again.

    Whyte is a fraud.

    Povetkin has declined due to age. Can't take those punches with a smile anymore.

    Whyte just didn't come in best shape in the last fights. In contrast to Povetkin, Whyte has options to get in top shape by looking at his nutrition.

    So you are telling me that you believe in Santa?
    He is a proven PEDS cheat, really ? So its only him, because he was caught ? And what about Wilder or Fury or Joshua? Its obvious.
    Every pro athlete its on something.And the more money and power you and your team have, the better they going to be and the harder to get caught.
    The only i may believe is not on something in the HW right now is Usyk. He was ripped at Cruiserweight, but when he gained size(and lets be real not that much size), his body changed and suddenly he wasn`t that ripped. His body transformation looked pretty natural. He obviously gained size, but wasn`t just pure clean muscle, he gained fat and was obvious.
    Not like Wilder 20lbs and its look defined as ever was. You can`t do that without PEDS.

    What do you mean, again? He's only fought 1 before, and that was Browne, who was undefeated and seemed much better than he appeared. Other than that Whyte's took on prime guys.

    A fraud lol.

    He's taking a fight with a dangerous opponent when he could play it safe and wait for his shot that is already LONG overdue.

    Already has a deeper resume than the likes of Wilder who had been champ for the last 5 years.

    Parker, AJ, Povetkin, Chisora x2, Rivas, Wach, Helenius…… not too bad for a fraud.
