If Wlad beats Kabayel at the age of 50, how does it affect his legacy?

    Wlad ragdolled Povetkin physically. Thats not on the referee that’s on Povetkin for not being able to return the favor. Boxing isn’t badminton it’s a rough sport.

    Well yeah, with all the games he used to play to give himself an unfair advantage his opponents would naturally be on the backfoot and lose confidence

    Stating a simple fact doesn’t make me a fanboy. Povetkin did nothing to try and assert himself in that fight. He let Wlad bully him like a little kid. That’s on Povetkin not the referee.

    Wlad would get knocked out in less than 4 rounds.

    Wlad doesn't have the legs anymore and he's going to try to hug Kabayal all night, but while in hugging range, Kabayal is going to brutalize his body and make him quit.

    Yep.

    I was reading the current thread about the best 15 heavies since Wlad & was appalled looking at the sad collection of 'talent' there. Usyk is the only one that really knows how to fight a bit and that's why an Ali-sized guy destroyed all these low/moderately skilled behemoths. And it was glorious indeed, especially after hearing all these intellectual dwarves yelling that these giants were the unstoppable future of the division and Joe Joyce would annihilate George Foreman :rolleyes:

    Both Moorer and Foreman got their asses beaten by Axel Schulz, but got gift decisions.
