    Guys listen closely. When I saw povetkin and takam go head to heAd I saw a 60/40 fight. Povetkin edged because of his power. Since then a devasting ko has taken him off the top 15. Trust me this guy is legit and hardy and anyone whose having a bad night would suffer a loss to takam.
    He's a true fighter who can mix it inside and out, but doesn't have the true deliverance to reach the top.

    I think only a few would handle carlos takam. Fury, pov pulev, klitchko and joshua....

    Takam is a good HW. Hope to see him in a big fight next year, in the meantime i would be nice to see him staying busy against journeymen. Takam/Jennings, or Takam/Pulev would be real treats.

    Takam vs Stiverne would be a great fight.

    Takam would beat him. Workrate durability would beat a puncher with stamina issues.

    Takam beats Stiverne easily. Jennings, and Pulev would be a lot more interesting. Stiverne is an easy scalp for him.

    I don't think Takam beats Stiverne easily, he can, but not easily. That would be a good brawl. As far as I know Pulev is retired.

    A good brawl? Why would Takam brawl with Stiverne? He'd outbox him, maybe even shut him out.

    Takam is a brawler. Stiverne is a counter puncher. Would be a great fight if it happens. I would favour Takam by UD but wouldn't rule out a Stiverne KO win.

    Just watched this fight on youtube....impressed by Takam, he was a load in there. Has a couple names on his resume better than any of Wilders except for Stiverne.

    Is it just me or does Povetkin really look totally gassed by the 3rd round in every fight?

    Povetkin looks very open for an upper cut.....

    Wilder would knock him out in less than 2 rounds I reckon.

    He's a clear top10 HW. He'd make a good challenger for wilder and would be a good test for him.

    Vitali was the same, I think it's just the way they "look" as opposed to any actual issues with stamina
