    For anyone who says that the guy is overrated , nothing special and that he's not a "big puncher".

    You'll all have a reality check in a few months from now (or maybe a year).

    That guy will eventually end wlad klitschko's career.
    He's small , but he has the endurance , high workrate , and he's good in everything...he's the best rounded & technical guy at the moment.

    He's not a big puncher , and he doesn't excel in a certain area/style but he happens to be good "overall"...and it's the ensemble that counts. That's what makes him win.


    a guy who has already won + 10 gold medals + golden olympic winner can't be "overrated".

    He has the best hw amateur boxing record you could imagine and his style also happens to be very entertaining to watch.
    Maybe he'll get koed in his next fight and one of you ****s will bump this thread ahd later have a good laugh but right now he's far from overrated..

    it's only his 14th fight.

    Take a good look at muhammad ali's or holyfield's first 14 fights and compare them to povetkin's...

    note: i'm not comparing povetkin to these boxing legends...just comparing their competition (first 14 opponents).

    How is his chin?

    Anyone with a solid chin is gonna give Wladimir problems, especially a guy with skills like Povetkin's.

    You don't have to be the biggest hitter in the world to crack an egg.

    wlad will be too tired to keep up with povetkin's pace...and he'll eventually get caught...

    Sam Peter is too one dimensional for a guy like povetkin.

    Well it dont matter what you do in amateur or in the olympics, you could look as far as Frauley Harrison to prove that point.

    I understand hes well rounded in everything, but so was Brock and look what happend to him! Yes he got a chance in there Wlad, but if he thinks hes going to out box him hes going to end up getting his ass layed out.

    I hope Povetkin wins, but I would not bet on it. Hes too green to get in the ring with a prime Wlad, and his only real chance is to land a lucky punch and knock him out, which is very possible with the weak chin Wlad has.

    His chin ? to be honest i have no idea..
    i've seen him block some punches with his head and take some big impacts and he's never been fazed...it seems solid but i doubt that it's on par ith tua's or anything... maybe he's got an average chin..maybe not..

    I think Brock's problem was that he was so hyped up as the "Great American Hope" that he choked on fight night. He's not especially skilled in any one area, you're right, but Povetkin has a stellar amateur background. He's not gonna choke when he gets in the ring with Klitschko.

    I think pressure got to Brock - he was the underdog in with Wlad to start with, and people were touting him as the "next big thing" and trying to make him into the savior of the HW division, when he wasn't. He was, and still is, a solid heavyweight...he just got hyped up prior to his demolition.

    Not at all...his chance is to fight wlad with a solid gameplan and to keep a super high workrate and to tire wlad...

    I see what your saying, but just as much pressure if not more will be on Povetkin to win. And who knows if Povetkin will choke, hes never fought a number 1 guy before whos in his prime.

    I hope it works, but once you get hit the plan could go right out the window. I wouldnt bet on Wlad blowing his load early unless Povetkin plans to pressure him, and I really hope he has a Brewster like chin or he will get hurt.

    You're underestimating him...even i , as a fan , knows that he's far from being a powerful puncher...but in his case , it's not necessarily a weakness because he's got awesome combos , he's persistant , very endurant and like i said several times already...he's got the perfect workrate...

    a guy like this has a big potential to beat wlad klitschko. Even if klitschko outclasses him in the skills department during their fight , he'll have to be very carefull against a guy like that because povetkin will keep the same pace in every rounds...

    That's what he's been doing in both his amateur and pro career so far...he's like a machine..and because of this , he compensates for his weaknesses..

    that's the way i see it.
    Now , maybe i'm dead wrong , and maybe he'll get koed in his next fight and i'll be forced to shut the **** up...but right now ? he's doing perfect.
