    Povetkin with good stamina beats all versions of bodybuilder badly.

    Yep. Especially 2014-2016 Povetkin when he went on that tear after the Wlad loss would’ve KOed Joshua

    I'm confident Povetkin would win, but AJ still has a good punch and if he landed he could get the TKO.
    Povetkin is also really a cruiser in size, so he's always up against it versus the SHW's.
    Definitely a younger Povektin is going to be sharper and have less brain damage.
