    Alternate universe Fast Eddie Chambers, where he doesn't abandon the jab halfway in and consequently pops Sasha's cherry. :deal:

    Anthony Joshua.
    Klitschko's victory is on points and it seemed dirty to me.
    White's victory is Povetkin's last fight in his career, and it was a rematch.
    This is how I would rank them:
    1. Anthony Joshua
    2. Dillian White
    3. Wladimir Klitschko

    Or you know, Alternate Universe Marco Huck, where he does literally nothing different, but the judges...

    Klitschko beat him in boring fashion but at least Povetkin was in his prime.

    Boring and, if we're being honest, more than a little cheap. Leaning his larger taller bulk down on Povetkin repeatedly throughout so the action was stalled at every turn was sort of like playing SFII as Ryu or Ken and just spamming hadoukens nonstop.

    I would say Joshua even though he was getting outboxed by an older past-prime Povetkin, only because of how disgraceful the Klitschko fight was. Wlad fought like a ***** as usual, it looked more like wrestling than boxing with the amount of grappling, pushing and fouling there was.

    Whyte beating a 41 year old Covid-infected shell of a man who was dragged from his hospital bed into the ring means nothing, any half-decent heavyweight would have beaten that version of Povetkin.

    1. Joshua
    2. Klitschko
    3. Whyte

    Joshua because he won fairly. Klitschko should've been DQ'd

    Comparable to "who beat Wlad better; Fury or Joshua?"

    Eh, not really too much I guess.

    The answer is the Ukrainian.

    Joshua, because he won fairly (although he fought an older and somewhat faded version).

    Klitschko should have lost by DQ.

    Whyte fought an old post-Covid Povetkin. The fight should have been delayed another two months until Sasha completely recovered.

    Klitschko had 119-104 but the fight would surely have been different with a good referee.
    Joshua struggled a lot against Povetkin and yet the Russian was already old.
    Whyte don't we talk about it, Povetkin was on his deathbed.

    The only one to beat Povetkin young and loyal might be Huck.

    Klitschko.

    Because a past-prime Klitschko beat a prime Povetkin. Povetkin could not get past Klitschko's defence, lost all rounds and his face was reconstructed by Wlad.

    Prime Joshua beat a 39 year old past-prime Povetkin, lost at least 3 rounds, got caught a lot and got his nose broken by Pov.

    Prime Whyte beat a post-covid 41 year old Povetkin ghost.

    Huck hit the back of Povetkin's head all the time. He lost.

    Agreed, biased German judges scored it much closer than it actually was.
