    If Povetkin was easy work for Wlad, rest assure Lewis would dominate him much easier. No roids= Easy money!!

    Likely. But he would also be more open to trade punches which gives Povetkin a chance of pulling a Rahman/McCall. 80-90% chance Lennox wins.

    Sure, but with no Roids he'd be gassed out mid fight, and Lewis would see it and start teeing off on him. I don't see Povetkin being that competitive in the 90's. That decade was hot! I also think the Golotas and Mavrovics of the world beat Povetkin imo.

    Golota was inconsistent and a mental midget, he might beat Povetkin but he could also get knocked out. Mavrovic is that eras equivalent of Wach or Duhaupas. Definitely can't see him beating Povetkin. Povetkin would be somewhere around the top 10-15 in the 90s or any other era.

    ANY version of Lewis or Bowe destroys Povetkin.

    LOLO, even the Holyfield that faced Bowe defeats Povetkin.

    I don't see it. Povetkin when he was perceived to be a clean fighter had higher % of body fat and struggled with stamina. In the 90's era there would have been far better fighters that would have exploited that. Lewis after the McCall fight fought smarter picked his shots better and if he got you hurt he finished you. A gassed Povetkin would be a sitting duck imo. A PED infused Povetkin is a different story.

    I think he would have been more or less on par with Botha in that era in terms of success but with more power and a better chin.

    Yeah, Botha might be a good comparison. Though if Tyson got his hands on Povetkin around 95 or 96 it would stand on his record, that Tyson knocked out the 'Botha' Them!

    Mavrovic was more like a HW Dimitry Pirog. A very talented boxer who was forced to retire. Wach and Duhaupas are Steve Zouski type guys and nowhere close to his level .

    You clearly don't know jack chit about Mavrovic so why to you post about him.

    LMAO! I wouldn't place much faith in the cleanliness of preacher's sheets!
    If Mike Tyson were dirty, they could have saved a lot of trouble in finding the right hooker.

    Yeah I'd favor that Tyson too.. 99' Tyson would be a little more interesting... Since Botha was taking the fight to him and definitely up prior to being stopped.

    Stopped reading here. **** poor comparison... But not surprising coming from the guy who compares Usyk to Khan.

    I'm not going to say if Mike was or wasn't clean back then. But they sure as hell didn't have testing as strict as it is now!
