Hello to all my American, Brittish and other english speaking friends. No, this poll is not a joke. Please vote seriously. I'm in need of an international opinion on this matter. Thank you.
What is with these comparisons of Povetkin to Frazier? Someone posted comparing Povetkin's left hook to Frazier's, the other day. Holy hell. Povetkin has potential and there's a few positives about his game, but comparing him to Frazier in any regard whatsoever is ridiculous. The two bear practically no similarities at all aside from their unbeaten streaks - but even then Povetkin has a way to go. Frazier fought Oscar Bonavena, Eddie Machen, George Chuvalo and Buster Mathis by the time he had logged 20 fights. Povetkin's level of competition is much better than your average modern-day heavyweight at 17 fights, but he's still got a long way to go to match that kind of pedigree.
if we are talking literally possibly cos joe would have been a cruiser if about these days but p4p considering how humans have got bigger and the comparison that can be made in terms of their opponents weights against theirs, then there is no contest joe frazier could punch holes in city walls
Povetkin is a slightly above average puncher at best, that took him 10 or 11 rounds to knockout a completely washed up Chris Bryd, Frazier would of done it 3 rounds or less.
As much as I think Frazier's one punch power gets overrated, I still think he hit harder than Povetkin punch for punch.
****ing stupid topic. Do you think Povetkin could put a prime Ali down with a single left hook? Frazier punches harder, a lot harder. Miles harder.
