Did you guys read the Povetkin...

Povetkin's workrate isn't anything like any other HW out there ... I think off that alone - he would stand a chance to beat most HW out there. Now i've seen that he has a tendancy to bruise and to swell so thats not going to fare well for him against the elite.

His punching power also is in question for me he doesn't seem to have much pop and everyone knows thats one thing you can't lack as a HW is punching power. The division is built off that and you would need that ...

I don't know much about his chin either ... I don't know if he's been hit by a legit "big guy" ... that will determine his time as a HW contender.

 

Ok enough of trying to convince you about Peter's power, proof is there! Again respond to my reasoning on how povektin can beat peter and how you say he beats the tar out of Peter... PUT A SPIN ON THAT WASHERMACHINE:good Watch oct 4 or 11th,, AND GET BACK TO ME WHEN PETER KO'S VIT. From 03 up until he fought Peter he fought 13 times,,, NO KO's.

 

If he KO's an okay looking Vitali, i.e. he doesn't have to look amazing but reasonable (at which point he'll likely be outboxing Peter) I'll concede he's a definite puncher

Povetkin beats Peter, firstly because he has a jab, and can box from range. However, its generally not his style. He'll jab his way in, which he has the speed and footwork to do easily against the much slower Peter. There he can outwork Peter with 1000+ punches a fight, and also has the solid fundamentals from his amateur career. He punches straighter, quicker and with better technique

He just has to be careful of Peter's rabbit punches and wide shots on the inside. Povetkin's main flaw is to the straight right, which isn't Peter's speciality. He's landed a few recently, but Povetkin has shown the chin to take a few shots, and he'll pick off the majority of Peter's shots which are wide. So while its possible Peter catches him with an ugly ass punch on the inside, I prefer Povetkin's odds of taking a wide decision :hi:

 

Peter has a very good jab his self. Povektin will not throw 1000+ puches as he will be a little gunshy against peter. Povetkin has shown a chin????? Please tell me the murderous punchers that Povetkin has faced to have proven this chin to you. Povetkin will be mauled on the inside against Peter. Peter is to strong and to powerful for Povektin to bully on the inside, he might get away with it against the likes of a byrd or chambers but not against peter:hi:

 

Have you ever seen Povetkin fight? He doesn't "bully" anybody, its not his style. He systematically breaks them down, with consistent work-rate and pressure fighting. He outboxes guys, not outbrawls them. Inside should not always connote brawling or physical work, Povetkin doesn't get involved in that. He'll beat Peter's ass with consistent, quick short punches which Peter has neither the defence, speed or schooling to deal with

And no Povetkin hasn't faced a puncher, but all we can say is his chin is completely solid up to now. Peter won't hit him much with that wide **** anyway.

 

I seen both fights against byrd and chambers.. Povektin does alot of work yes but it is because he does not have to worry about the fire power that he will recieve. Let's see povektin face a big time puncher then get back to me.... but to say that he beats the tar out of the number 2 heavyweight in the world right now is jumping the gun just a tad

 

Number 2 heavyweight doesn't carry any weight (except round Peters midrift). It's not especially prestigious to be considered #2 in this division, so people will speculate as they please as to who can beat who

If you claim Berto beats Mosley or somebody, it looks a bit dumb. But not Povetkin beating Peter, infact its a solid pick considering their attributes.

What are we looking at?

Povetkin celebrating after beating Chambers ass comfortably, despite his preperation being hampered by all accounts

 

Actually, and I was at the post-fight presser, the discoloration looks bad but the swelling actually isn't. Povetkin, like many Russians, has high cheekbones, so when he smiles his eyes look much smaller.

 

And wlad seeminly does not throw enough punches last fight,so anything could happen,maybe wlad will not like him coming at him all night(or till he eats to many jabs)id say he will give it a real good go though

 

Oh no he marks up,quick call the police:-(,he still won though,and did not fall apart like some guys do and would,fair enough he may lose badly to wlad and peters,but i bet you he will cause both men fits,if mccline can deck and hurt peters 3 times,i take pov to finish the job

 

Peter had a ruptured eardrum in the Mcline fight,,, Povektin cannont ko Peter.. Peter took wlad best shots and maskaev,, they both hit harder than Povektin could ever imagine hitting.
