    Povetkin is an Olympic Gold medalist with superior pedigree. Miller showed ok stamina yesterday for a large man but Povetkin is way more active, accurate and powerful than the limited but durable Duhaupas. Povetkin tko round 10

    Povetkin is the best heavyweight out there, he is on Joshua's level at least, if he were younger I would pick him to beat Joshua, but against Miller, Povetkin punches much harder, and is used to fighting big heavyweights. He was gold medalist super heavyweight division in the Olympics, so he is used to fighting big guys. His only loss was to Vlad and that was when Vlad was still at his peak......................a young Vlad would beat all the heavyweights out there today.................the only bad thing is that Povetkin is an Eastern European fighter, and Americans hate Eastern European fighters, at least the powers that be in boxing do......................however, Ryabinskiy is a multi-billionaire and could win any purse bid he wants.....................

    Povetkin has looked so bad in recent years.
    Miller imo, is a step ahead at this point. But i doubt we will ever see them in the ring together.

    Miller is 60/40 favorite in this. Too big for Sasha. Even David Price wobbles Povetkin quite badly.

    Povetkin can't be underestimated, he has had some really good wins. Good chin, punches hard, has combination, lots of experience. He would beat Miller.....................

    Miller is a sitting duck. Povetkin by vicious KO.

    Hard fight to predict. Povetkin had a bit of trouble hurting Christian Hammer, who went the distance with him, so he might find himself blatting on windowframes against the hulking mass Miller. Then again, if Miller lets Povetkin catch him with those sharp combos then he could be put away. I'd rather see Povetkin against someone else really, as I don't think it makes for an exciting fight.

    I really like Big Baby, both in ring and him personally, I can't stand Povetkin, both in ring and him personally.

    Povetkin wins by ghoulish gutwrenching KO.

    I quite like Miller, I think he offers something a little different. I'd take Povetkin on points but he's ready to take an L soon

    Prime Povetkin on points. No way is he knocking out a durable guy like Miller when his best shots couldn't drop 200 pounders - Chambers and Huck , and without roids he couldn't hurt Hammer or Redunko.

    Povetkin now loses a close points decision. . Doesn't have the workrate or power to keep Miller off him and Miller will land his uppercut into Povetkin at will as he comes in.

    you are severely underrating Povetkin's power. Remember what he did to Duhuapas? He fried him up like a french fry... something that Big Baby promised to do but couldnt!!

    Duhuapas had 24 hours to prepare for Povetkin and it still took him 6 rounds to get him out of there.. His body was completely untrained , couldn't even throw a punch with any semblance of form and didn't even have a pair of boxing boots as he was out there on holiday from what i heard.

    he wasn't out there on holiday! Povetkin's promoter had him on standby, in case the fight falls thru... Duhuapas trains year-round... he's a sparring partner for top-HWs.... no idea why he didn't have his boots lol... maybe customs seized them?

    They didn't even do a weight in for that fight and he didn't look in fighting condition to me. I reckon Miller can take a punch better than that version of Duhuapas.
    Im not seeing Pov stop Miller when he couldn't hurt or drop Hammer over 12 round. Povs stoppages came when he was roided up to the maximum!
