The disrespect for Bruno here is ridiculous he had his flaws but he is way better than Povetkin. Frank by KO in the middle rounds
You realize you haven't given a reason to favor Bruno either. Other than laughably accusing others of being racist that is.
You crying homie? It's not that big a deal. Wipe the foam from your mouth and have another go. Your first sentence, just straight away, what reading comprehension. The inference you're referring to and the provocation you quoted are one in the same. So go on and reread the post you quoted and have a second try at making some GD sense. For the record though. yeah, hell yeah, y'all ****ing sensitive. Did anyone say "No bro you got us wrong" in any form of wording? Y'all try just a casual convo? Or did youse go straight to insulting? Sensitive is the only ****ing thing I know about you dog.
I didn't accuse anyone. Not my fault you are short tempered bro. Chill TF out, go reread, and get back to me. You're the one being a dick here. I did give a reason. I believe it was something to the tune of Bruno was a good gatekeeper while Povetkin avoided champions and fought leftovers. I'm real confident I gave Pov **** for leftovers. You left that unaddressed and cried to me about some bull I don't hardly give a damn about. You're so ****ing ready for me to be some kind of PC crusader you missed the GD point and dragged other idiots into it.
The "inference" I was referring to was what you were talking about in your second post, "I was open about my inference of this forum's disposition toward Povetkin". It and the assumption that the posters on this forum are racist are not the same. So go on and reread the post you quoted and actually respond to it. Are you really trying to tell me that I should've started a civil "conversation" with you after you claimed that posters were racist, unwarranted? The first post I made in this thread called you "condescending" (not an insult) and you tried to backpedal by saying that we were being sensitive and just couldn't tell sarcasm. "Sensitive is the only ****ing thing I know about you dog" is rich.
Dude, you're super confused and have hardly said anything but whine at me while making no sense at all. Dunno what I am supposed to do with this. Doubles on pointing out your reading comprehension is ****? You go a head and have a stab at explaining how calling you sensitive is back peddling. I still assume y'all racists. You didn't react like that's an outrageous assumption. You reacted like you hear it often and it bothers you. Give them pebbles a tug brah. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
Talking about me having a lack of reading comprehension but being unable to see anything more than "whining" is insanely funny. I told you that you were wrong and explained how and you were like "Nah bro you just have bad reading comprehension." You don't seem to know a lot of things. "You go a head and have a stab at explaining how calling you sensitive is back peddling." Not what I said to you at all. It is hilarious how little you're able to read and how often you project that lack of reading aptitude onto others. I said you were being condescending and you said it was just sarcasm, that was backpedaling. You're still acting all high and mighty now. "I still assume y'all racists. You didn't react like that's an outrageous assumption. You reacted like you hear it often and it bothers you." Is just flat out wrong. We acted like it was outrageous to the point that you were calling us sensitive, but now we apparently reacted like its a common occurrence? You're so set on sticking to your guns that now you're backpedaling AGAIN to make it seem as if we're totally racist- Which once again, is an unfounded claim. I don't know what that's supposed to mean, and, "I didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings, man. I just wanted to call you guys racists, no harm, no foul." I'm not responding to you anymore, lol. You can be proud in being my first ignore.
I didn't expect this one to see so much sh1t hit the fan? I grew up in the UK in the 80s, so Bruno handed me disappointments, about as regularly as the top ten handed him 0s on Boxrec. Povetkin, whatever you think about him, was regularly beating ranked opponents, including when people assumed that he was done. Obviously I don't know how this is going to go down, but the safer option seems to be Povetkin.
Povetkin and Bruno aren't that far apart in terms of raw resume numbers. They both, over the course of 10 years, each faced half-a-dozen Ring-rated opponents. Povetkin went 3-3 Bruno 2-4 Bruno's losses were to Witherspoon, Lewis and Tyson x2. Povetkin's to Wlad, Joshua and Whyte. They both had their struggles. But Bruno did at least win a legit world title strap. Povetkin was a secondary WBA champ. I don't think there's a lot between them head-to-head, either. It's really down to Bruno's jab, right-hand vs Povetkin's left hook. They're both capable of taking each other out, but I'd favor Bruno to get to Povetkin first (Povetkin was just not particularly good against strong jabs). That said, it's not a fight I'd bet on.
Tough one. Povetkin is a bad match-up for Bruno IMO. Bruno was a pretty good boxer but he was very hittable especially to counters, and lacked the recovery skills especially as he gassed out early and I think that suits Povetkin quite well. I can see the first half of the fight being competitive, with both fighters landing big shots, but as the rounds creep up - I can see Povetkin setting up traps, and creating counters for that left hook of his which will eventually stop Bruno like in the Lennox fight in 1993. However, I could see Bruno stopping Povetkin too.
