    Oleksandr Usyk is literally on a whole different level altogether compared to the fake Sasha that is povetkin. Povetkin has already been made useless and irrelevant in the heavyweight division by Sasha Usyk.

    Povetkin wishes he was half as good as some of those guys. Especially Usyk. And as big / strong as some of those other guys like Filip Hrgovic. Povetkin has done nothing in the last 3 years to suggest he is better than some of those other heavyweights I've mentioned.

    Rankings are based on what has happened. Not what you believe may happen if a particular fight takes place. So as it stands, Whyte > Parker since Whyte actually beat Parker when they fought in the real world. So there is no logical basis for ranking Parker ahead of Whyte right now.

    And ironically, you criticize others for not using logic / lacking logic when you yourself have just committed a schoolboy logical error that is so glaringly obvious that it exposes you as someone who is in need of basic logic lessons.

    Logic dictates the one who wins a contest is the superior. Yet, according to your incapable and flawed logic, or logic that you didn't use enough of, somehow Parker is better than Whyte because Parker will beat Whyte in your fictional Universe, even though he lost in the real world.

    Lucas Browne's power is overrated. He's barely put any high ranked known opponent to sleep. His inability to really put a dent on that Ukrainian journeyman, is more a testament to how overrated his power is, rather than evidence of Rudenko having a special chin. The same is the case with Povetkin. Povetkin's inability to even come close to dropping, never mind KO'ing Rudenko is evidence of how insanely pathetic, weak, light hitting and feather fisted Povetkin truly is. Rudenko would probably be brutalized by genuine knockout artists.

    Question is, how does Povetkin even hurt a much bigger, much more muscular, much taller, much bigger sized, much more powerful, much more durable and overall a far superior physical specimen, athlete and a boxer in Vladyslav Sirenko when Povetkin couldn't even put a dent on Sirenko's much inferior countryman in Andriy Rudenko?

    But let's say I buy your excuse about Rudenko having one of the best chins. Then what excuse do you now have of Povetkin failing to even budge or even hurt Christian Hammer with multiple of his loaded up, best punches? Considering Christian Hammer's chin was exposed multiple times before fighting Povetkin against Tyson Fury and Mariusz Wach? What now? You've just dug your own grave as far as you're argument is concerned.

    he's definitely better than Parker. I only make Femi favourite because he has the judges and ref in his pocket.
