Lewis Povetkin side by side first 13

Actually it isn't until the Phil Jackson fight that Lewis fought over 230 consistently. Of the 24 fights before that nine of them were below 230. I think Povetkin will fill out to be about 230 or so, he is naturally bigger than Holyfield and no one seems to discount a prime Holy from fighting today even though he was only fighting at about 213.

 

I agree. The point is being missed it a bit. I am not saying Povetkin is better than Lennox. I am saying he is fighting good competition early on and using a past great's competition as a reference point.
