    Alexander Povetkin is sent back in time to face Ali's opponents frpm 1960 to 1967. How does he do?

    He loses to Sonny Liston, and Terrell.

    50/50 with Williams and Doug Jones.

    And he beats the rest.

    beats everyone up to billy daniels, then has real difficulty beating much else further.

    Beats Brian London and maybe Charlie Powell.

    Losses to the others.


    As an amateur he fares much better, he was better suited to the 3 round format.

    time machines accepts organic matter, no moving metal parts.

    Which makes u wonder how in that movie they sent a terminator robot in the first place but heyho why spoil a good dumb story.

    Because in that dumb story they made sure to explain that because the terminator was covered in organic matter, it could be transmitted.

    Agree w/ BCS8---only trouble is Liston. I also think he does very well in the 80's--aside from Tyson and Holmes. I think he's a handful for the other champs that didn't either make many defenses or none at all. 70's not so good.

    I'd like to see Povetkin in there w/ late 60's Bonavena. What a tough bout.
