    Who wins this? I think Povetkin wins on points.

    I can't see Povetkin losing to a guy who got KO'ed Razor Ruddock.

    Povetkin in his roided prime would win by decision. Bonehugger would likely win against the natural, 30-yo Povetkin tho.

    To be fair, although I've always liked James Smith, he was an US 80's and 90's HW, so probably even more juiced up as Povetkin ever was.

    How many more threads are we going to get on Povetkin?For some reason i can`t get my head around he is held in such high esteem on here when in reality is a bang average fighter.As for your question Bonecrusher by knockout

    Not a chance. Povetkin's physical transformation was extreme. Just look at him in the Eddie Chambers fight.

    @Noel857 Prime Povetkin would beat all top 10 heavyweights today, except Fury and Usyk.

    Sure. But during the 80's and early 90's it was a free for all.
    Of course there were a couple of the top guys that stayed clean, but most of them were unhinged roid monsters.
