    He will knock Hammer out, then he will get ready for a big fight, good thing VADA and the WBC framed him to protect Wilder of he would have knocked Wilder out! He is getting old though, I think he is 38 years old now, but still has some gas in the tank...............

    then the top guys can quit ducking him. take that russian cash and add the best non champion name in the division to their ledger.

    you must have missed his fight against Duahapas, he knocked his ass out like no one else. Just like he did with Tackam, and Charr, and Wach... but I guess thats not enough for u eh

    Rudenko is very tough guy with excellent chin,however he had neck injury in the first round after absorbing some heavy punches and especially one uppercut.After that i felt like Povetkin didnt wanna hurt a guy that already had an injury and decided to continue , it was a very strange situation overall.

    Povetkin still got what it takes to become champion but 6`6 + guys can always jab and grab him into wide decision if done properly anyway.Hes just too small for heavyweight and noone is going to DQ clinchers nowadays if ever.

    AJ and Wilder arent rly clinchers but someone like Tyson Fury can spoil the fight for 12 rounds boring decision.

    Most people know that Povetkin is formidable with his enhancers, since the Klitschsko fight. But obviously if you follow his his career, and seen the fights with Huck, Chageav, and Firtha, you would know that is his true level without the substances. A good contender, but maybe a little to undersized to deal with the superior bodybuilder Joshua, and the devastating bronze bomber Deontay Wilder!

    I could pick 3 fights of any fighter ever and do what you just done. All the top heavies are using and abusing too. I agree that hes undersized for the big boys

    chubby boy was pretty good with his PEDs, a genuine contender. Shame he wasnt able to carry his immaculate amateur career into the pro ranks further.

    Povetkin is like Bane in the Batman and Robin movie (as opposed to the one in the Dark Knight) ... when Batman (aka VADA) pulled the plug on his juice, he shriveled up into a harmless little nothing.
