    Let's put this nonsense to bed once and for all. Most observers felt Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter edged Povetkin. Granted Povetkin is 40 y/o and way past his prime. However, he's still to this day ranked #7 at HW by The Ring and truth be told he should be higher because for some inexplicable reason known only to the Bootleg Dorticos's fart suckers on their team of 'experts' they had and still have Ortiz ranked above Sasha P even though the later was an infinitely better amateur than him and a much better pro with an infinitely better resume than him and even worse Ortiz is coming off a KO loss.

    A 40 y/o Povetkin would be Bootleg Dorticos' best win seeing how Ortiz who was a couple of weeks shy of his 39th birthday for their first fight is far and away his best one now.

    A 40 y/o Povetkin would be Dillian Whyte's best legit win too. Parker was robbed against Whyte and he was fighting 2 opponents in the ring. Had he only been fighting the 1 he was supposed to he would 100% sparked Whyte out cold.

    Rivas' best win is Bryant Jennings for goodness sake and let's not forget that Rivas is Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter's surrogate son because the later paddled his ass in the amateurs.

    Povetkin paddled the ass of a much bigger and heavier prime Wach with contemptuous ease, Dillian went life and death against a shot to smithereens 40 y/o Wach. No word of a lie, there were times in that fight where I genuinely felt the big shot Pole was going to get Dill out of there and I know Eddie Hearn and Dean Whyte were shitting bricks whilst watching that one too. Yeah you can argue Dill was carrying too much timber in that one. However, that extra weight helped him absorb Wach's shots and he would've undoubtedly been sparked out cold in HL reel fashion again had he come in lighter.

    There's a reason why Dill wouldn't dare mention Hunter's name and instead of calling out the fighter most had winning the fight called out the loser Povetkin instead. And this is after Hunter had aggressively been calling out Dill and made it abundantly clear he wants to fight over in Britain next against a British opponent. Hunter vs Whyte would be as easy to make as omelette would for a chef.

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter stopped Kiladze in 5, the same amount of rounds it took Joe Joyce, the savage punching Ajagba who Kiladze dropped hard, and one round quicker than Kownacki

    He also stopped the unbeaten, savage punching and streaking Bakole in 10 despite the later being way bigger than him and having over 40lbs on him

    He stopped Ustinov in 9 despite the later having over 66lbs on him

    He blew right through the 25lbs heavier and never previous stopped Fabio Maldonado in just 2 rounds, the same Maldonado who in his previous 2 fights lasted the distance against Oscar Rivas and Oleksandr Teslenko giving both tough fights

    And he dropped the unbeaten and tough Kuzmin hard who had 37lbs on him

    Fact is Povetkin is just teak-tough. Getting stopped by the way bigger AJ who had 23lbs on him and 10 years in youth when he was way past his best doesn't mean you aren't tough as nails. And if you watch the finish of that one make sure you pay attention to how many flush bombs in quick succession it took from AJ to drop Povetkin on his ass. IIRC it was about 8 in total and 7 of them after he'd already been hurt good by the first one.

    Need I remind you that AJ had Whyte who weighed about the same as him and was not 39 y/o wobbling all over the ring like a drunk newborn foal with two broken legs from an innocuous solitary right hand. Dill's legs were so wobbly he danced to about 10 different genres of dance in the space of 5 seconds. Chicken dance, break dance, Salsa, Irish jig you name it Dill's legs were dancing to it. And then AJ took him out in HL reel fashion with a right uppercut.

    Check this out it's hilarious

    The Bounty Hunter would've blitzed an awful lot of HWs (and tough ones at that) with that early assault he hurt Povetkin with, including Dill, and ditto for the 11th round assault too. It completely caught Povetkin by surprise and he displayed an awful lot of toughness and mental fortitude to withstand it and battle back so well from it.

    And then we have all of Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter's scalps and souls he harvested in the amateur ranks too

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter Jr. defeated Oscar Rivas 11-4

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter defeated Andy Ruiz Jr. RSC - OS 3

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter TKO 2 Fabio Maldonado

    Oscar Rivas WUD10 Fabio Maldonado

    CW Level Hunter blew through Maldonado like he was a glass-jawed malnourished toddler

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter is in the soul harvesting business and the only reason he doesn't have Dill's to add to his collection is because Dill is still to this day ducking him.

    Predictably no reply was forthcoming from Dill after Hunter called him out live and direct on British TV in front of an audience of millions

    Of course George, outside of Ghandi and Nelson Mandela, I have a lot of respect for you and respect your opinion.

    I guess I am just trying to drive home the narrative that Hunter really is overhyped, because he should not be performing in such manner against an old man if he was poised to take over the division or be top ten?

    That performance did not convince me of him taking over... good HW? Certainly... but not top ten or top 5 material.

    I'm not saying Pov won, and maybe Hunter edged it, but a draw isn't so far of a stretch for me because after Hunters initial keeness and busy work, Pov took over and put him in his place. Hunter was held up by ropes at one point because he got clocked clean.

    I feel it was too much of a labour for a supposed HW killer/ Predator. I know Whyte would have won more convincingly for example. But credit to Hunter for putting in the effort.

    He still fell short at the feet of a 40 year old man, so we can't brag too much about the guy.

    I sincerely hope they make Whyte vs Hunter next, but looks like Hunter will duck to retake his failed Povetkin test, following his appeal to the board of examiners.

    Just so we can put this to rest

    So which one of these guys, Hunter or Povetkin is signed to matchroom? Why would Hunter get robbed? Who stands to gain from that?

    Whyte, because he wants the easier opponent. As in not the real winner. Meanwhile, Sasha still most likely KO's him cold.

    Wach, Kabayel's leftovers, old bouncers, unproven prospects, punching bags and Parker, who he got a gift against. Yep, most of them that he actually beat, on paper are very easy opponents.

    And Whyte struggled with Wach.
    Joshua got annhialated by Ruiz.
    Fury looked **** against Wallin.
    Wilder lost every round to Ortiz.

    And Povetkin is still a top guy, even at his old age. As he showed.
    Whats wrong with supporting Hunter? He is clearly good and still has a long way to go.

    Can we get this straight. Is Povetkin not old and washed up anymore (as we were told when he fought Joshua), or still a decent name on a resume (as we’re being told by Hunter fans). It’s almost as if people are changing their minds to suit their agenda, surely not!

    I would strongly advise Dill to keep steering well clear of The Bounty Hunter, if he still harbours hopes of getting his hands on one of the straps that is. And in the event Bootleg D does manage to somehow summon the courage to stop running from Dill and takes his long overdue ass whooping from him and the WBC makes Hunter Dill's mandatory challenger, I would strongly advise Dill to drop the belt or call it a day if not.
