    Did you really need to repeat that. Oh, Povetkin isn't chubby anymore. Did you miss the Charr fight? Hell, he looked fine against Takam too.

    the irony Holy has been KOed more times than Povetkin so Holy's chin is more fragile.:hey

    Holyfield wins a clear decision.

    I think Povetkin would have his moments but Holyfield was too fast and an even better combination puncher than Povetkin. Povetkin is also used to being the stronger man but Holyfield was very strong for such a small heavyweight and out muscles Povetkin on the inside. Also with Povetkin's style he would be very prone to Evanders headbutts.

    Yeah I said Chambers would knock out Wlad *sarcasm*, no I was rooting for Chambers to win even though his chances were low because I am a fan.

    Tell me who has Povetkin beaten that is in the caliber of Michael Moorer? Harder puncher? I think Moore hits harder. Povetkin has to land hundreds of punches just to knock someone out, and as shown in the Chambers fight he is prone to counters given his high work-rate.

    Michael Moorer would counter Povetkin all night with right hooks.

    Pwned? He thinks Povetkin is better than Moorer in every way despite both being different boxers, I would say Moorer is more skilled. As for the Chambers vs Wladimir fight, I picked Chambers to win because I am a fan. Even on Bscene I betted those fantasy points with lots of people on that forum, and I lost a lot of points.

    People badly overrate Povetkin simply because he won a gold medal, and he's not even all that good. Povetkin avoided W.Klitschko for years, and I remember in this forum people were talking about Povetkin saving the heavyweight division, and look how that turned out. He's not really the savior is he?
    The only people being :pwned are the fans who believe Povetkin is really that good.

    I didn't get Rekt, he's just an idiot. Seriously the only reason why Povetkin has one loss is because he's fighting in a very weak heavyweight division. If he was fighting a prime Moore or Holyfield, Povetkin would get knocked out.
