Gain more credit and kudos after going toe to toe with a (you have to assume drugged up) Povetkin? If so do we get to see the Takam vs Duhuapas fight or is the reptile back to cooking croissants?
think the takam v dulhaupus fight might be called off after this. takam has a good chin and is a warrior / but he has little power despite his muscles and can only fight in spurts father time having caught up with him. povetkin wore him down / he would be hard to be put dowb for the count when fresh.
Some say Takam is overrated... I don't see how. He's fought the who's who and performed with credit in almost every fight. Arguably beat Perez, dominated a still cagey but faded Thompson, gave Povetkin a really good fight before being KO'd, almost upset Parker. Solid top 10 fighter. Not an easy fight for anyone.
Who next for Takam if Duhuapas is out? I hope he faces someone in or around the top 15. If Hughie thinks it's time for him to start getting his cuzzies belts back...he should prove himself with Takam. The epitome of a top 10 gatekeeper.
Takam is one of Povetkins biggest fights to date. He certainly troubled Povetkin a lot more than Duhaupa (late replacement consideration) did. I'd pick Takam to beat Duhaupa had they fought.
Id pick takam to.rinse whyte after seeing.shot delboy knock him around the ring all.night, hed struggle with.the taller fighters.tho imo
Not really. Too many guys in the Division would also beat Takam. Takam is a good guy to get rounds with, but I can't see him beating even Ruiz or Whyte level guys.
So in your opinion, do you think that Ruiz and Whyte are the same level as Povetkin? (please put the doping aside). Takam had a good close bout with Povetkin and were quite level before Povetkin put him away.
