What evidence have you to prove Sanders was motivated? He had no sparring leading up to the fight. He wasn't motivated for his own career , much less for Vitali. He was more interested in golf. Even in his pime he wasn't motivated enough to leave SA to move his career forward. This has all been stated in interviews. Chageav? He was prime and a forward aggressor.. Povetkin defend better when on the front foot.
No, it takes time to adapt to the professional ranks. . You know nothing about boxing.. Its why you believe Hrgovic has the greatest chin ever based on 3 and 5 round amateur fights.
The Charr fight proves Povetkin hit harder. Vitali also never slept anybody with one blow like Povetkin has on a number of occasions. Povekin hit harder with both hands.
Dude, I forgot more about Boxing and know far more about Povetkin than you do. Povetkin was a pro for 2 years, and had fights vs world title opponents, and former contender prior to facing Byrd. He was clearly ready, not green for this fight.
So Vitali at age 41 floored Charr 2x and stopped him in 4 rounds, and Povetkin at age 34 took 7 rounds. Where is your argument? Yes-- Vitali has plenty of KO's on his record. Geez, how did you find your way into this forum? Do you self a favor, take note that Vitali in almost all cases stopped his opponents faster than everyone else did before him. That should end the debate on who hit harder.
ON that we agree. I sort of like this thread, as Povetkin never got his due in his prime. Watching a guy like Dino trying to defend an Eastern Euro heavyweight, at the expense of another one he hates is a first.
Char suffered a flash knockdown and was stopped prematurely on cuts.. Povetkin knocked the consciousness clean out of Charr when he blew him out through the ropes.. Povetkin hit harder What about being 41.. You have constantly claimed Brggs was still a puncher against Vitali when he was 39/40... So are you saying Briggs did not even have a punch left in that fight?? Double standards exposed , again.
Of course, he got better but he was already very good back then. He beat decent opposition. His resume in his first 13 fights was much better than Vitali's, Wlad's or Lewis' ones. Donald, Mayfield, Ahunanya, Bostice, Mahone, Bango... Plus his excessive amateur experience made him ready for pro boxing even from the very beginning of his career. I think by the stage he faced Byrd he was like Usyk from Glowacki, Mchunu and Hunter fights - not in his prime yet, but already very, very good.
You know nothing about Povetkin. I'll give you 30 seconds to answer this question. . If it takes longer to respond , i will be proven right. Are you ready?
