    Povetkin (Wlad fight) would be a danger to any Lyle.
    Povetkin (White 1 fight) says Povetkin would beat Lyle.
    But if Povetkin had turned pro at the age of 30 - I doubt he would have reached the challengers; like Lyle in the fight with Ali.
    Povetkin's career had already lasted more than 8 years at the time of the fight with Wlad.
    On the other hand, Povetkin was 41 years old when he knocked out White.
    Povetkin would knock out Lyle, maybe in a similar fight to Lyle Vs. Foreman :)

    Povetkin is a better combination puncher and is a bit quicker too. Povetkin by a hard fought decision.

    Povetkin by an entertaining KO. Would’ve been a fun one in the three or four rounds it lasted. Alexander just hit too hard and combinations too sharp.
