No. Pulev is far better boxer than Charr in every departament except chin, he has excellent jab and Povetkin's jab is far from great, that would make trouble for him. But Povetkins' best punch is left hook and it's dangerous for Pulev as he has hole for left hook. So I'd favor Sasha, but it won't be as easy as Charr fight.
Chisora beat Helenius (Robbed) Was not knocked out by Vitali even though he spat water in his brothers face. That's some credibility right there. He troubled Haye a few times in that fight. Haye is top 3 in the World if he wants it. I've got Haye behind Wald and Fury. I think he beats Povetkin and knocks out Pulev. He beat Scott(No winking involved) Scott to me is a better HW then Arreola. Draw with Glazkov, robbed wasen't he? Chisora is a top ten heavyweight without question. Arreola, top 20 at best.
Povetkin easily! Wilder and stiverne better watch out! povetkin might go after the wbc belt and he beats them both
I would favor Fury, Jennings and Stiverne over Takam, I'm not so sure about Pulev. Takam is very good boxer but has some flaws. 1) he's not a puncher. He never KO'd or dropped rated HW and couldn't even drop ancient Grant. Dominic Guinn is clearly harder hitter than Takam 2) his defence is not that good as was shown in his defeats, he surely can avoid the punches from distance but once his opponent comes closer he becomes much easier to hit 3) Takam's chin is average and if puncher like Stiverne lands he'll get dropped and likely stopped. Takam was KO'd cold by Povetkin and knocked down by Gregory Tony (the ref missed a call). Don't know why there were talks that Takam chin is granite.
Good analysis. My top 10 at heavy are Klitschko Povetkin Stiverne Pulev Fury Chisora Jennings Takam Wilder Glazkov It was ugly KO loss for Pulev but in a memorable fight. I'm tempted to rank Fury ahead of Pulev, but aside from the hype surrounding Fury's 0, Pulev's resume is better. I rank Jennings higher than I used too after Spilzka upset Adamek but still only #7 for now.
It's clearly Povetkin. He's bounced back well from the loss to Wlad, beating Charr and Takam. Then it's Stiverne with the WBC title and 2 wins over Arreola. Just goes to show you how weak this era is. A single win over a name opponent who isn't even a top 20 heavy is enough to get you ranked 3rd.
povetkin, by a country mile. like i've said before, there is a reason not one of the brit hws has ever uttered his name.
Tyson Fury. Haters gonna hate. But he's the biggest (except the chinese dong), he's surprisingly fast, he's smarter, and has a lot of skills.
Some people are such dummies. They had Pulev at 2 or 3 this time yesterday, now he's number 8 due to losing to the HW Champ of the World and a top 10 p4per. Such idiocy.
the idea that a lot of people rated Pulev #2 before yesterday's fight just goes to show how much the HW div. is in shambles.
