    Honestly, a good solid fight.

    I've got Frazier by decision (clear but competitive).

    I think boxing fans are starting to appreciate Povetkin. If Wlad wasn't here for the past five years, Povetkin's likely a solid champion, good enough to make a few title defenses.

    Povetkin checks all the boxes. His power is good. He has good hand speed. He's accurate. He's the best combination puncher since Holyfield. He has a very good chin. His his stamina and will to win is old school classic!

    This would be a great fan's fight. Frazier to me is rather limited in attack ( No jab or right hand, and did not use the uppercut often ). He had a very good left hook, and the stamina to throw it all night. But he also had just an okay chin and swelling issues.

    This could be the case where the lesser ranked fighter wins. Povetkin is much smarter than Quarry, and hits harder than Bonevena, who in my opinion nearly knocked Frazier out and deserves a draw on the 10 point must system.

    Good points. Povetkin would have certainly had his chances. Like you say, he ticks all the boxes. Frazier's bullish will would have played into Povetkin's hands and the strengths you speak of. I think it would be a great fight.

    Fraziers pressure would be too much. He'd make Povetkin fight at a pace he never experienced before.

    Povetkin looked like he was about to die after 12 with 209 lb Marco Huck. Against Frazier? Nah.

    I would go with Frazier's pressure.

    I don't think that Povetkin has the artillery to keep him off.

    Hard to say how good Povetkin is, He has improved much since Vlad and is bigger than Ali and hits harder,faster than Foreman and much bigger than Quarry....Frazier proved his greatness in the FOTC and others but had a very short career and short prime so are we talking the FOTC Frazier?

    Povetkin arguably lost to Huck, Frazier in another league.

    well that really could of been his worst fight so I don't know if I would judge Sasha only on that fight :think

    personally I think this would be a great match up and could be a all time barn burner,

    Sasha is a very solid heavy :bbb

    I'll go with Joe, but it's no given and Alexander would give him a great fight for reasons already stated which I agree with.

    Why mention a scoring system that wasn't in place for the fight?
