So who's going to be the one to pop the Povetkin hype bubble?

But there are instances where white and american fighters, who have accomplished more than him have not recieved the hype you are talking about.

Again, what you said was broad, generalized and off base. Its what most people do on this site....whether you meant it that way, who knows...maybe ya did, maybe not (my guess now after reading your replies is not, so for that I apologize), but the point is, it WAS worded that way.

And judging by the pms I got after making the reply, I was NOT the only one who took it in that context. Like I said, I am not the only one sick of reading it in every post.

 

Give me a recent case (in the last 15 years even) where a white American rising HW accomplished what Povetkin did in the amateurs and in just 2 years as a pro. There are none. And if there was, the hype would be ridiculous. That's all. I agree that the way I said it might have sounded wrong at first, so that's why we started arguing.
