Has 4 stoppages against bums. Povetkin is an Olympic medalist and former world champion. He achieved to have mandatory title shots against Wilder and Joshua at the age of 38 and 39. He destroyed giants like Price and Hughie Fury recently. Fury is 24. Look, you still couldn't give me the name of the single top heavyweight that Hunter defeated, don't think that I forgot about it. I'm still waiting for it. The name, please.
In 2019 Povetkin won't be able to wipe the floor with anyone in the Top 15. He's more or less shot. Getting old and slow. Off the PEDs Povetkin isn't a beast anyway. The guys he beat recently were Top 20-40 guys like Price, Hughie or Hammer. Hunter is a Top 10 HW on my list and he's looking fantastic walking through opponents with his footwork, handspeed and ring iq. Dropping Kuzmin for the first time of his career outpointing him to a one-sided decision. Beating up a guy who stopped Marius Wach. Hunter is legit. Hunter UD all the way.
Is this fight actually confirmed yet or what? Lots of chatter about it. Seems like an easy and logical one to make too. I'll ride with Hunter for now. Think it'll be a fun fight.
You are talking like Marius Wach is the ultimate badass. Povetkin TKO Wach when Wach was in his prime. I don't count Wach as one of Povetkin's achievements, Wach is a bum anyway. Povetkin destroyed the likes of Byrd, Chagaev, Perez, Takam, Rahman in their prime. He is Olympic gold medalist, former world champion and 3 times world champion challenger. Only losses were against the best : Klitschko and Joshua The challenge is still on.
Lmfao, you're another Boxrec capping casual guy? Povetkin never stopped Wach. Fight was stopped due to injury. Please watch the fight instead of trying to be convincing with some Boxrec stats. Thanks.
I watched the match numerous times. Wach didn't get injured while picking apples from trees! Povetkin beat him all along and cut him. Then he was unable to continue due to damages he took. Get your facts straight. If others claiming Hunter is favorite are watching boxing matches like you watched Povetkin vs Wach, then I am 100% right in my claim that Povetkin will destroy Hunter. You can't even see the legitimate stoppage of Wach at the hands of Povetkin! It is on YouTube, go watch it again! Duh!
BS. Wach was injured, he couldn't throw anything there because he injured his hand again. The cut and beatdown was the cherry on top. Nothing special to put on a beating on Mariusz Wach. Big Baby also beat him up badly. Also this was prime Povetkin ON PEDs. Now he's off the PEDs. Hunter gonna smoke him. If you want it or not. I come back here in a few months. The Hughie performance was bad, really bad.
Povetkin battered Wach to a tko victory. The ref stepping in to end the fight 100% counts as a stoppage.
