    Is it too soon to be talking about this fight? Whilst Povetkin has the one of the most impressive amatuer record I've ever seen, he has probably around 9 years to go before being, in theory, past his prime. He has a good pro record already and should build that up. I think he cold take a belt at this stage in his career.

    Is this a pick 'em fight, despite Povetkin's inexperiance?

    Probably Stevenson, though the thought of what Igor Vysotsky did to him will always linger in my mind, and maybe Povetkin scores the upset.

    I use to love to see Stevenson in the Olympics, I always wanted to see him face Greg Page at the time, but I don't think it ever happened, I will give Povetkin a chance to win on any given night, but Stevenson had better all around skils, so I say he wins 8 out of 10 at least, Bobick did beat him, but when all the marbles were on the line Duane got destroyed, so it showed Stevenson could really step up from a loss and Bobick could not.
