    Yeah. Recency bias. Even if Povetkin is A. Overrated and B. Declining, he should still be the favorite against Whyte.

    He would be a big favourite. It is hard to gauge if we were watching a faded Stiverne type bum in Browne or Whyte going up a level in performance. Probably a bit of both but not enough to beat Povetkin yet.

    And Povetkin hates you.

    Povetkin Tko's Whyte, even this faded version. Whyte cant escape the Tsar Bombs from Sasha!

    Klitschko, Ustinov, Ortiz, Browne.... the old guy's aren't having a great run of it of late, and Povetkin is now the oldest in line. Still, close fight. But no way does Hearn put Whyte in with Povetkin when he is so close to Wilder.

    Povetkin minus the steroids is a average fight. Whyte is a average fighter.

    Whyte's 30 lb weight and nine year age advantage make me lean towards him.

    What steroids has Povetkin taken?

    Probably the steroids he took when he failed a drug test. Maybe you should keep up what is going on in boxing or just find another sport to pretend to be a fan of. Or wait, you will make excuses and say he was framed and didn't fail a PED test?

    Probably is a steroid I haven't heard of. I asked what steroid and you failed to answer it. Now go and watch WWE - probably your kind of 'sport'.

    Povetkin wins, more skilled and better equipped boxer. Went distance with Wlad so can't imagine Whyte stopping him (Whyte's power is few levels below Wlad's).

    Whyte is going to start getting over rated again I see based on beating an over weight, inactive divorce dad who took up boxing late.

    Lets be real here, Povetkin maybe older and maybe off the roids but is a world class HW who Wilder ducked.

    Povetkin even with the age and roid unknowns is favourite to beat Whyte.

    A badly faded Chisora battered Whyte like an overstuffed Pinata
