    I think Povetkin, probably. He's got more strings to his bow.

    Haye at his best would pose problems with his speed and athleticism, but Povetkin has never been stopped and is so technically sound I believe he would show his class in the second half of the fight to win a comfortable decision like 8-4

    All alex. Too good of a set of whiskers & the full assortment of punches Povetkin throws would see him winning handily. Bad matchup for Haye and once he starts dropping those hands he'd be in big trouble. the pace of the bout would have the Hayemaker running out of gas by the 5th round.
