Povetkin has lost a step who hasn’t at 39 it’s obvious these guys avoided him. I’ll tell you this he wouldn’t be doing the back foot cha cha that Parker did all night. What a dud. Povetkin is hated but maybe this division deserves the villain to be on top.
As far as I know, yes. Back in '06 at MW (165lbs, I think at amateur?). Porter has always been a big boy and had to drop a fair bit of muscle to make him a viable WW (pretty sure his Dad told him he was too short and thicc to play at 154), whereas Usyk must have been a late developer. EDIT: Here's his partial amateur record: http://amateur-boxing.strefa.pl/Records/Usyk_Olexandr.html 2nd Dec '06 - Shawn Porter - L - 23:20
If Povetkin had Parker's speed, I could see it. He doesn't though. He's 38, 6'2, and a bit slow now. Joshua probably wins by KO.
