povetkin vs haye

A decision victory
Probably for haye

 

Haye wins easily.

Too fast and too powerful.

Lights out for Povetkin imo

 

the only morons picking povetkin have obviously completley lost it and fully embraced the hate

:good I agree with you, but the fight will never happen. Haye wants
the one money fight win or lose to ride off into the sunset. Haye is
not a boxer that likes to fight. Haye wants some retirement money. :deal

 

:huh

Mariusz Wach would look like George Foreman against that version of Rahman. That's no benchmark to be setting. Come on.

 

Depending on what shape Povetkin comes in would be the deciding factor imo.

If the Povetkin that went life and death with Huck fought Haye I could see Haye having his hands full until his cleaner punches or punch picking wears Povetkin down to a late stoppage.

Povetkins come forward style would suit Haye, but would Haye be able to live with the work rate a in shape Povetkin could or would set?

If Kostya can get Povetkin back to the form of his Chambers and Chagaev fights then Povetkin would be the favourite in my eyes. He is the better boxer and I think he could UD Haye who as we know, knows how to survive the distance.

 

Povetkin on the same level as Sexton?.... Really?

Chisora is massively overrated on this forum.

 

Agreed with the bottom part of your post, first para, not so much.

Povetkin's one of the most vulnerable and beatable top heavies out there at the moment. Huck showed that he would struggle against a fast aggressive power puncher, and Haye can be plenty aggressive when he wants to be, i.e. when he's not afraid of what's coming back. Povetkin's tough and skilled but he doesn't do anything exceptionally well. If he had some equaliser like a great chin or huge power himself I'd give him more than a decent chance, but as it stands the only thing he has over Haye is superior workrate, which would only become a factor later in the fight.

I do agree the fight should be made though.

 

there are actually people who think Chisora could beat Povetkin :rofl:rofl

 

Chisors is either overrated or underrated, depending on who's talking about him. I was personally really impressed with Haye's destruction of him. This is a man who took the best of what Helenius and Vitali were able to throw at him, and who prior to the fight had never been on the canvas (to my knowledge). He isn't the most skillful bloke on the planet, but he's tough as old shoe leather and an awkward and tricky customer for a lot of people. The fact that Haye destroyed him like he did shows that Haye still has absolutely top rank power in the HW division.

Sexton's a little underrated IMO. He's about the same level as Lyakhovich at the moment (not prime Lyak obviously). He's more than capable of finding you out if you're not on your game. Not a bum by any stretch, though Price made him look like one.

I'd place Povetkin on the same level as Adamek, maybe a little higher due to his slightly crisper hands.

 

If you don't have the power to keep him off you Chirsora can give you problems. This is evident.

 

Povetkin went life and death with an average cruiserweight

imagine what an average heavyweight will do to him

 

the difference is that Huck throws bombs, Chisora doesn't

 

if povotkin is in shape i think he takes haye out...

 

it was really hard to dispatch Ruiz for most of his opponents except Tua
so in that Haye cleaned out the HW division as he promised.
If Haye retires the fraud Povetkin he will get full credit in my book.
