Parker vs Povetkin - Who wins?

He should register Pedvetkin as a trademark...

 

Oh I'm sure Povetkin would win as long as he managed to give a clean sample lol.
The way I see it is given his experience and undoubted Olympic credentials and his power I just think he would get to Parker eventually,the way he kept on catching his opponent yesterday sometimes twice with that left hook as in the knock out was incredible,he seems to have great vision in the ring to be able to duck punches coming his way and on his way up catch his opponent with big hurtful shots,great match up with Parker actually I'd love to see it?

 

Povetkin in a very entertaining but brutal fight... for Parker.

 

They've both beaten Takam, Parker was in a similar if not slightly more favourable place on the cards as Povetkin by the 10th but Povetkin was in PEDvetkin mode when he KO'd Takam at that point.... Povetkin vs Parker I'd called it potentially an extremely close fight though PEDvetkin would probably beat most HWs, Parker included - but that means nothing tbh.

 

Povetkin would beat him, if Ruiz Jr can force him back and make Parker box where he is less effective then Povetkin could do the same, though have far more success than Ruiz Jr did.

Personally I wouldn't want to see another young fighter's career get derailed by a drug cheat. Parker has the potential to get better and sticking him in with a fighter Povetkin at this stage of his career would be a mistake. I doubt Povetkin will get any meaningful fights anytime soon, he's now been labelled as a drug cheat and he can be easily avoided.

 

Povetkin would kill Parker.

 

Povetkin is one of them wolves you are talking about...

 

Right, let's be clear with this - Parker actually chose to move backwards, that was not Ruiz forcing it on him. He said multiple times before the fight he was going to mimic Lennox Lewis win over David Tua, watch that fight on yut00b if you need refreshing

That was his game plan, whether that was a great game plan or not is another question... but he won using it, and it's not his familiar fighting style and he was confident enough in doing it to use it to take the win and he did so - albeit VERY uncomfortably close decision.

 

I'd pick Pedvetkin over Parker but Parker over Povetkin (I think he'll be a shadow of himself if clean).

 

What we really need to discuss is Parker vs Hughie Fury - which is actually likely to happen

 

A number of punters are picking Hughie to win that matchup. I personally don't think he can hold off a live body like Parker.

 

POOvetkin if he came in clean, would probably get outboxed. POOvetkin on PED'S he'd probably starch Parker. POOvetkin will never come in clean, I don't want to see that.

 

I think Parker should defintely spar Povetkin. Po or Pedvetkin wont matter, its sparring. Alexander would offer Parker a lot in sparring alone.

Povetkin put on a great performance of boxing yesterday (and I watched it right here on ESB which was awesome) but I havent forgot how easily Wlad dealt to him. I had Wlad winning all 12 rounds. Parker would probably analyse that fight as well as others if they were to fight.

 

Povetkin wins a close fight

Parker is certainly on the top 5-10 level and I think he would be a good challenge for anyone in the top 5
