    Povetkin was a total mirage.................first he was hiding in Russia claiming he was not "ready" for WK...........who was waxed by three total ham and eggers without much fuzz when WK was in his absolute Prime.......when they eventually fought Povetkin was rag dolled like a little kid....the rest of Povetkins "resume" is utter shid filled with shot washed up Has beens or Never weres.....Fact.

    He best"wins" are going life and death with cream puffs Chambers and Huck............besides that he got absolute nothing on the World level.

    Shyte is total Euro trash.......

    He was stopped by a stiff Bodybuilder who in his very next fight spit his mouth piece out and quit against a non ranked morbid obese nobody Taco stand owner.....

    Bruno was a ACTUAL World champ vs Povetkins never world champ belt.

    Bruno has beaten similar fighters of Povetkins level .Fact.

    BTW, the versions of Tyson and Lewis who Bruno met would stop Povetkin face down out and out..........and Tyson would take him out quick. Fact.

    Wlad Klitschko was a 10 year undefeated undisputed HW champion of the world. Povetkin pushed him all the way and gave him a very tough fight. So show some respect to Wlad Klitschko.

    Povetkin has clearly operated at world level for much of his career. He has held the WBA and WBC silver belts. He has been amongst the elite of the HWs around 2008 to 2018.

    Wilder ducked Povetkin and avoided him, using a failed PED test as an excuse. Then fights known PED abuser and grandfather Ortiz next. If Povetkin was an easy lay then Wilder would have fought him.

    You will recall that Bruno gassed and was iced on every single occasion that he met a world level HW in his career with the exception of a washed up McCall. Povetkin is that guy.

    Povetkin only lost against Wlad Klitschko in his prime. Bruno lost 4 times in his prime including losses to Witherspoon and Bonecrusher Smith. Both men becoming journeyman with double digit losses.

    This really isn’t a difficult fight to predict.

    I like the colourful language but you are wrong.

    Haha. Bruno is one of the most blindingly obvious examples of what serious gear can do for the good and the bad (his aerobic output suffered).

    Hardly destroyed Povetkin. He more or less destroyed his own reputation with that disgraceful "performance". I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

    McCall was awful v Bruno, Povetkin`s punches came from odd angles and swere sharper than McCall`s.

    This should not even be up for debate.Bruno was a proper champion where as Povetkin is a drug riddled cheat

    Wlad went away from home to Pedvetkin's Moscow and three scorecards all scoring the fight 119-104 in favour of Wlad is quite a one sided contest even after being deducted a point for throwing Pedvetkin to the canvas.

    That was Pedvetkin's time to shine at his peak and he failed to deliver just like Toe Haye two years earlier.

    But Povetkin got beat ,so whats your point? Bryant Jennings amongst various others lost to Klitschko so does that make him and them better than Bruno?

    But Wlad wasn't far better than some that Bruno lost to so does that make Frank better than Povetkin?

    The only two opponents Bruno lost to that were clearly worse than Wlad was Smith and Witherspoon but Wlad also lost to two worse opponents than Bruno in Brewster and Joshua.

    Hard to compare different eras but if Frank hit Wlad on the chin and vice versa - it was game over.

    Joshua worse than Bruno? lol

    The anti Matchroom Brigade hate is strong.

    I love Bruno but come on, he was Chisora level.

    If you seriously think Chisora is equal to Bruno your knowledge of boxing seems to be lacking

    Joshua is Chisora level - CV full of puddings and the one time he fought a genuine contender he was found out.

    This footage does not show a man anywhere near elite level.
