Povetkin UD or late KO, it wouldn't be competitive in the least. God does everyone invariably always have to lose their ****ing minds because of an impressive KO.
It'd be similar to the Manuel Charr fight if Povetkin is at his best. 7th round KO! Dillian Whyte = Manuel Charr in terms of level.
Why? Because Whyte knocked out a near 40 year old, past his best Lucas Browne? There isn't much between Manuel Charr and Dillian Whyte, if any at all. Povetkin is levels above Whyte! Manuel Charr is roughly on the same level as Whyte. Even Carlos Takam > Dillian Whyte!
Povetkin is IBF mandatory. If Whyte wants that spot and Wilder ducks him for Joshua or a cherry pick then get the deal on.
And Whyte is barely above a washed up Dereck Chisora. Get real! But Charr isn't much better either. Though he is definitely better (by a big enough margin than Browne). Carlos Takam > Dillian Whyte!
