    Agree Uysk by something in the 9-3 to 7-5 range seems probable.

    Let's go 8-4.

    Usyk late TKO and dominating the fight up to that point

    Povetki is too flat footed, I don’t think it would be much different to Gassiev vs Usyk

    I think it would be a one sided beatdown

    I think Usyk's movement is too good for Povetkin and he wins a UD.

    But i'll always love Pov for that beautiful upper against Whyte. I've lost count of how many times i've watched that. In fact i'm going to watch it again now.

    Usyk would win but it would be a tough fight for him. Prime Povetkin was a tactical inside fighter, very good timing, extremely durable.

    Usyk would win in a competitive fight where Povetkin has his movments I think Povetkin while good is simply too limited and flatfooted to be able to beat Usyk but would be a good fight I imagine something like Briedis fight
