I dont know about that, as a huge Peter fan I would be nervous if this fight ever came into play. Peter would have to really control himself and try not to get frustrated, the 97 clinches Wlad put on him in there fight will feel like nothing in comparison to fighting Huggy Bear Ruiz.
i doubt it. i think ruiz has problems with power. peter has it and ruiz stands still enough for peter to be pretty effective. guys like valuev and chagaev are not power guys so he can get away with more. golota, a pretty good puncher had him down twice. ffs, the greatest boxing commentator of all time, Roy Jones shook him up with a jab :yep i think his chin is overrated.
If Povetkin is able to beat Wlad... which was one of the conditions for this poll, I say he then be able to handle Peter rather easily. If he gets past Wlad, that means his chin is iron, and Peter will be outworked.
Not a good matchup for Peter. Povetkin is too skilled but Peter could possibly get lucky and catch him, but Povetkin has never been down and Peter hasn't shown he can knock out an elite fighter not named Oleg.
Peter by KO Povetkin is too green and crude.....Peter would **** him up big time, Wlad will **** him up big time as well. I like Povetkin but theres really way too much hype surrounding the kid. He's got a decent chin which would keep him in the fight with Waldo but Peter would ruin him
Big difference Suge. I dont think Peter has developed much at all and I think Povetkin will. I think Povetkins offence is muich better than Peters but Povetkins defence will hurt him against Peter. Peter will get in a BIG shot that could end it. Peter "Green" or "not green"....Wlad KO's Peter in a rematch! No dought about it!
