    Would this be a harder fight than Breidis for Usyk?

    Povetkin was much bette than Breidis and slower at heavyweight but he would have still out-boxed Povetkin but would have struggled with Pov`s offense more than he has so far with any heavyweight he`s met.

    Yes 2008-2012 Povetkin would give Usyk hard night

    Disagree if anything Povetkin is way overrated on here.Usyk would toy with him

    Well i think Usyk would not choose to fight prime Povetkin, but believe Usyk would beat Povetkin.
    Russia vs Ukraine a present day (regrettably) promoters dream, would market itself.

    Uysk Decisions Povetkin. Too fast, elusive and consistent.

    Was he though? Prime Povetkin arguably lost to Huck who moved up to HW and who was a very limited fighter, got taken to school by both Usyk and Briedis, granted it was Huck past his best but still...
    I'd bet $10000 on Briedis beating Povetkin

    Povetkin would smash Usyk. Styles make fights.

    Povetkin was more proven at heavyweight.

    Why? Usyk is a tricky southpaw.

    Povetkin struggles with Huck. Probable loss with Usyk.

    This. The style favors Usyk.

    I think with a good referee Povetkin 2013-2016 can defeat Fury, Joshua, Klitschko and Wilder.

    But I think Usyk has the right style to **** him off.
