    Your low self esteem bleeds through your posts.

    I take that as a compliment kid, most of my friends call me cocky, arrogant and stubborn.

    It's nice to hear the opposite for once!

    Presumably we are matching the version of Sharkey that Dempsey beat, against the current version of Povetkin?

    If so then it is an easy night for Sharkey.

    Why would you pick the current version of Povetkin over any champion, or dominant contender in their prime?

    Because he has a more well rounded and better skillset than any prime HW champion pre 1937.

    Simple.

    Which wouldn't help him against Dempsey at all.

    It certainly helped Tunney didn't it?

    Yeah, although Jack's inactivity and hips problem helped him more.

    There I would have to respectfully disagree.

    Sharkey was up there with almost anybody as a technician, and even if Povetkin was as good as you say, he does not have the youth to capitalize upon it.

    That's just spin from Jack Kearns.

    Tunney beat the main fairly, twice.

    How did he beat him?
    By being a better, and more well rounded, boxer.
