    Povetkin is much better than fans think he is, he won the gold, super heavyweight divsion!!! However, he is getting old, the other heavyweights are waiting for him to get much older................

    I'm sorry to say Povetkin is much slower and with less stamina than he once had. If you look back at the Byrd fight, he threw an incredible amount of punches during that one. He may be more tactical and maybe a bit tougher now, but you can't put a price on speed and youth.

    The best combination puncher of this HW era, stamina, inside skills, power, chin. These attributes would carry over well to any era.

    :thinking: Did all that Egypt stuff get canned? Or am I just becoming old and senile and can't find threads anymore?

    Povetkin is too big for Wilder! Wilder is very afraid of Povetkin, Haymon will never allow that fight to happen. Povetkin by knockout and Haymon knows it! Waiting for Povetkin to get old, as Wilder will be fighting for 50 years against winos from the alley, perhaps a few old ladies...........
