    Among the best wins in resumes of these fighters (assuming they would beat the best version of him)?

    - Liston
    - Ali
    - Frazier
    - Foreman
    - Holmes
    - Tyson
    - Holyfield
    - Bowe
    - Lewis

    I mean basing on abilities, not by "name" (because Ali and Tyson were much bigger names when they fought Holmes and Lewis respectively, but both were totally shot)

    Prime vs prime he looses to every single one on that list...Liston./.Foreman//Tyson//Bowe/Lewis ko him cold............Frazier /Ali/Holmes tko him....he goes the distance with Holyfield but looses.

    The Russian Hype job barely got by cream puffs Chambers and Huck, case closed.............there is not ONE on your list who would struggle with those two ham and eggers.

    BTW, every single one will ko Whyte, fact.

    I'm not sure what the questions is. Are you asking to rank every one of those fighter's wins and slide where a hypothetical win over Povetkin would fit? Ain't nobody got time of for that!

    As mentioned before, every single one of those names would beat Povetkin.

    Povetkin's stock is going to go way up when he comes to his senses and agrees to fight for the inaugural bridgerweight championship. Since Rivas will not make weight, he will win it against Ryad Merhy, defend it against Kevin Lerena, and either retire undefeated at the weight class, or, fight a rematch with Hunter that Hunter wins in a well-received torch passing, that ends with the two hard-working fighters from different worlds embracing in the middle of the ring to the cheers of the crowd.

    So it is written, so it shall come to pass.

    After Povetkin retires, people will completely dismiss his losses to Klitschko and Joshua, saying, "he was bridgerweight fighting heavies!"

    You do get wound up easy don't you. Maybe you need to take on a hobby to keep calm, like knitting for instance?

    All of them on their best day beat him, but if both are age 41 he probably beats any of them but Foreman.

    1. Liston - Povetkin would be his best win or second after Patterson
    2. Ali- Povetkin would be his 5-6th best win behind - Foreman, Liston, Frazier, Patterson and on Par with Norton Terrell
    3. Frazier Povetkin would be his 3rd best win behind Ali and Quarry on par with Ellis. Ahead of Bonavena
    4. Foreman. Povetkin would be his 3rd best win - behind Frazier and Norton and ahead of Moorer and Lyle
    5. Holmes is tricky but I would place him behind Witherspoon, Norton, and on par with cooney, mercer, and ahead of shavers
    6. Tyson, he goes behind Holmes, Spinks, just ahead of Ruddock,
    7. Holyfield he goes behind Bowe, Tyson, Holmes, Foreman,
    8. Bowe he goes behind Holyfield
    9. Lewis, he goes behind Vitali, maybe Holyfield but ahead of the version of Tyson that he fought,

    As for those guys on list I don’t think he would beat any of them. He could beat old Foreman. And he could be trouble for Bowe who got hit a lot. Povetkin has been a top 3-4 heavyweight now in the division for 11 years in an era of bigger men. He is skilled gold medalist. Outside of Ali, Holmes and Holy he shouldn’t rate lower than 4th on any of these guys resumes.
    Outside of Wilder he’s beaten almost every top American heavy of the last 20 years. Byrd, Chambers, Rahman, Donald. He held Hunter to a draw.
    Guy is just a well rounded solid fighter with a big heart.

    Hes just a run of the mill opponent for any of them. He was a perennial contender in the worst era the division has ever seen hard to imagine he'd be more in at any other point in time
