    The oldest of those boxers is Jirov, and he was 17 when the Soviet Union collapsed. So how exactly are they "red army fighters"?

    A 44 Year old Foreman defeated Stewart that day anyway...40 of the 43 of Alex Stewarts wins were by TKO he went the distance with Holyfield I think you are selling Stewart a bit short....

    Povetkin was 39 years old when he lost to Joshua. Washed up past his prime

    Golovkin got robbed twice.

    KOVA got screwed twice against Ward and got knocked out by Alvarez when he himself was no longer at his peak.

    Jirov was going up against a massive steroid cheat that also was naturally larger than Jirov in James Toney.

    You cant expect them to knock everyone out. But that doesnt justify screwing them over through corrupt officials and derailing their careers.

    Yeah youre a #### idiot. Also stop with this nationalist inflammatory posting.

    I had it a draw. Stewart was not a good fighter.

    Stewart got stopped by Holyfield and pretty much everyone else he stepped up against.

    Fought Holyfield twice for a went the distance and was stopped by Holyfield in the other...Stewart had 53 Fights lost 10 and was stopped 7 times...that is not being stopped by pretty much everyone he stepped up against...

    Alex Stewart has much better punching power and faster hands than Povetkin. After being floored Stewart started picking his punches very carefully to avoid getting knocked out. I've never seen Povetkin adapt mid fight and fight from the outside and from the midrange like he would need to in order to avoid getting knocked out by Foreman.

    Povetkin's best offense is in the inside, which unfortunately won't end well for him, since Foreman eats inside fighters for breakfast.

    43 Wins for 40 Tko's would suggest this is very true...

    And in the first fight he gave Evander plenty of trouble before being stopped. He had Holyfield hurt in the 5th.

    Comeback Foreman was HUGE, a complete threat to anyone due to his power.

    The Bagging of a Fighter like Alex Stewart is a disgrace...this had no chin thing is Rubbish...going on the 7 Tkos he suffered from his 10 Losses...Tyson would have a suspect chin...Tyson had 6 losees and 5 were by TKO an even worse percentage than Stewart....
