    Povetkin something of a nearly man. Very Dangerous but i'll go with Big Frank 'cause bristish bias

    Povetkin by KO if not points Povetkin. Povetkin was by far the more well rounded boxer than Bruno who was limited.

    Surprised if Frank survived the first round. One things for sure he wouldn’t have to worry about his faulty gas tank running out!

    Bruno would knock the small PED man clean out - even Tony Dosh PPV stopped this pudding

    Povetkin is vastly over rated on here

    Never rated him at all and proved correct when a past prime Wlad destroyed him in Moscow.

    Got him down as Putin's Pudding Whyte

    As much as I liked Bruno as a person was, he was closer to Chisora level than Povetkin.

    Bruno was a World Champion and faced great Champions in defeat.

    Pedvetkin's 'Rocky Fielding/Manny Charr' WBA special not recognised or rated.

    Bruno fought in a far better era and levels above puddings Pedvetkin, Whyte and Chisora - I rate him above Joshua as well.

    Povetkin most notable wins
    - Whyte
    - Byrd
    - Chagaev
    - Hughie
    - Takam
    - Huck

    Brunos most notable wins
    - McCall
    - Coetzee
    - Coetzer
    - Bugner

    Povetkin has the better wins.

    Povetkin was the much smarter boxer of the two, much better technically and packed even more a punch than Bruno (brilliant left hook).

    Apart from Huck (a CRUISER), that list is a pile of Conman Benn's opponents
