    I count around 3 or 4 wins over B-level opposition. Where are you getting 15 from?

    Are these his best wins? I'd be interested to see yours.

    Chris Byrd - Old and was also stopped by low-level opposition in his next bout. This could easily be classed as a C level win at that point in time.
    Dillian Whyte - a genuine contender - who had him down twice. A lot better than the old Chris Byrd.
    Ruslan Chagaev - An overrated boxer who could barely be classed as B level. He was fighting the likes of Matt Skelton and Michael Sprott during his prime.
    Marco Huck - A cruiserweight who had been stopped by Steve Cunningham.
    Carlos Takam - A boxer whose best win is a 42 year old Tony Thompson or 44 year old Francois Botha.

    I'm really struggling to get anywhere near 15 B level wins, if we are defining B level as just another champion status, i.e. a genuine contender.

    Hunter wouldnt see the final bell v prime Pov, its obvious with their fight when Pov was an old old man. Nice result for him wasnt it, beaming with pride with his belt after, no loud crap....

    Everything about that punch was great. The set up, the movement and execution was superb.

    A few weeks ago I predicted on this forum old Povetkin would knock out AGED Whyte after the 5th (I was slightly wrong). However Whyte's chin was already aged with Rivas.

    Ye class act. Povetkin of say the Charr beats Hunter ya. Hunter is good tho, on a nice little run , shows how good Usyk is & how good peak Povetkin was considering he's old now but just sparked a top 5 guy quicker than Joshua.

    Well said.
    Just before the KO sequence, Povetkin feinted a right hand as well. It wasn´t just Povetkin going hrough the motions. He knew very well how Whyte would react and he sat that uppercut up perfectly.
