    With his recent win over hughie. Povetkin had set his eyes on tyson fury afterwards. However after tysons eye damaged I doubt he will be back to fight in December. Povetkin is being lined up to fight Michael Hunter. I looked at the rankings
    Povetkin highest ranking is in the wbc 4# should he get past hunter I think he plans to move in on wilder.

    Who would win

    Povetkin won't get past Hunter, prime Povetkin vs Hunter would be a barn burner fight, but he has stamina issues and is really old. Hunter then would make Wilder look like a fool and outbox him for 12 rounds

    Prime Povetkin absolutely destroys Wilder. This 40+ year old version idk, probably a 50-50 fight.

    Prime Povetkin was a steroids monster, so it's impossible to speculate what a prime non-peds version would do.

    But as a refresher, check out Povetkin vs Chambers. I think that 20-something version of himself was clean, and also nothing special.

    Povetkin has little to no chance to beat Wilder. He can’t get out of the way of the right hand. Wilder kos him early.

    I’d be happy to see Povetkin or Hunter fight wilder, both give him problems

    Povetkin off the juice isn't all that good.

    Do you have solid evidence?

    This. But it will be funny watching the stanky leg Wilder will do after a Povetkin hook. Even at his current age Alexander has a good shot.

    Joshua beated Povetkin in 7 rounds. Wilder could win within the 5.

    Povetkin like Ortiz is very skilled, but just too old at this point.

    Meldonium is not a steroid. It's heart medication. It may increase stamina at best, and it was legal for everybody when he used it.

    Or you can turn this around and say Wilder has no chance to get out of the way of the left hook. Povetkin KOes him early.

    Two positive tests within eight months. Also, use your brain. A guy in his mid-30s doesn't pack on so much lean muscle like that and suddenly become an explosive power puncher.

    BS.

    First of all, he tested positive for meldonium *and* ostarine. Hopefully you aren't going to tell us ostarine is not a ped. Second, meldonium also is a ped which is why it was banned and brought so much shame to Maria Sharapova. Between the two failed tests with two different substances — along with the obvious unnatural gains Povetkin made in his mid to late 30s — he was indeed a steroids monster.
