    Before the second Whyte fight, I would've said Povetkin. But now?...Gonna have to go with Rahman. I think Povetkin was a bit exposed there.

    Exposed as is he is 41 years old? Really?

    Povetkin would have beaten the living shyte out of Rahman, rather easily. Even till this day.

    I feel Rahman is somewhat undersold on boxing boards. I think a prime version would have given Povetkin a tough fight.

    That said, I also pick Povetkin. Sasha has an excellent uppercut and Rahman could be susceptible to that shot.

    Dafuq? Rahman is 48, been knock out like six time, ain't fought nearly in seven years! Of course Povetkin can do it till this day. Dude couldn't hardly walk already when he foughted him!

    The Maskeav losses do make me lean towards Povetkin. Who knows with Rahman though, he's more than capable of beating Povetkin, but he's inconsistent.
