I thought he struggled a lot more with Huck than Chagaev, which is odd because I've always rated Chagaev (and, in the minority opinion, considered him the #2 when he challenged Wlad) and never thought much of Huck and long regarded him as barely above paper champ status at cruiser. :conf

It's just how it shook out on the nights. Chagaev was also somewhat faded by then, and Huck was really up for his crack at Povetkin and had the night of his life. (until the verdict came through, anyway)

I had Ruslan getting shut out until the 6th, when he wobbled Povetkin with the left and carried that surge into the 7th...but then it fizzled and I didn't give him another until the very last. 117-111 Povetkin on my card.

Huck on the other hand imposed his style of fight on Povetkin from the beginning, had him hurt more than Chagaev did, and took far more shares., IMO ultimately deserving the nod. 115-113 Huck on my card.

Yet still, prime for prime and pound for pound I consider Chagaev much better than Huck. Go figure.

great post ib.....think the problem with chagaev when he fought povetkin was inactivity...you seen his face when walking back to the corner after the final bell...he was disapointed how he lost..
