Alexander Povetkin's historical significance? Was he big enough?

    How would you describe Klitschko's fights against Monte Barrett and Derrick Jefferson?

    Getting back to Povetkin. Chagaev and Ibraigmov, two top level talents failed to beat Wlad and become #1 as well. They are about the same size a Povetkin. Povetkin will get his second chance vs Joshua to obtain the #1 spot.

    But my initial post was off a bit, as Usyk who really isn't that small at 6'3" with a 78" reach might move up to heavyweight soon. So fans who'd like to see a 210-225 pound heavyweight champion have a second out.

    Hey Rummy,

    If you need any more proof your logic is flawed? Nay_Sayer is on your side, if you have any opinion that this gal agrees with, I suggest you desperately check your logic. Hahaha.

    Yes, Wlad was an excellent short puncher, he just did less of it after Stewart, and I'm sure aging and losing quickness didn't help him out. Wlad's accuracy really started to suffer those last few years he was active.

    Ross Purrity, Corrie Sanders and Lamont Brewster would have all loved to get an immediate rematch with Wlad.

    LMAO...

    Really? Like WHO? You mean the best like Ross Purrity, Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster?

    WHO has Wlad beaten that was of any consequence?

    ^This right here.

    Eddie Futch in 92 said that Riddick Bowe had more God given talent than ANYONE he ever trained. That endorsement speaks VOLUMES..

    Lol Wlads career is far more impressive, its not a debate. H2h is an argument, but not accomplishments.

    He did, its well known. He knew Bowe didn't have the confidence for 1 fighter out there, which was Lennox !
