That was the same Povetkin from August

    I could say something ... but what could I say, really, to this post? I could, though.

    Povetkin has been on the slide for years, as you'd expect with a man of his style. He's done well to still compete into his 40s. He has always brought the fight and been willing to take punches to land some of his own. His defence and head movement has never been stellar, and now he doesn't have the legs to close the ring off, or avoid punches at all. So a sitting duck.

    No, I rarely come on this general forum, I will head back to the classic forum where I belong, this is what we over on the classic forum call 'General forum trash'

    Did you watch the fight? He looked like a drunk in there. So either Whyte found the ****ing Matrix since the last time and made Povetkin somehow look like that bad, or age and the fact that Povetkin was in effeing hospital just months ago has something to do with it. Wonder, wonder...

    Rubbish

    Even the Povetkin who starched Whyte had no legs

    The one who turned up last night didn't move his head
    Didn't feint
    touch the body
    Didn't hook to the body or try to really get in on Whyte

    Nothing was there, I'm just glad he got stopped on his feet.

    The same Whyte showed up...& got the job done in the manner he needed in the first fight. He still gave a totally shot Povetkin too much room.

    Pulev & Povetkin should be retired but people give AJ more resume credit for beating him than Fury beating a young fresh Wallin type. After Fury literally walks through AJ then some people will realize it's all smoke and mirrors.

    I advise you not to hang around here and claim that some kind of prime Povetkin had been beated up.

    Stick with classic forum, post that modern boxing era is weak and boxers bad etc nonsense.
    I might go angry and post how old were some your idols when they get beated out of them all health remainings.
    Also age when a lot from your idols had retired.

    To compare this with guys like Povetkin, Vitaly, Wlad and Foreman.

    Will not look like pleasure for you.

    If you actually read the classic forum you'd know that I am actually more in favour of the modern boxers than the rest of the posters anyway I meant Povetkin hadn't declined due to coronavirus, he had declined slightly from the last fight, but due to age, he did not look sick like some are trying to claim, when I said it was the same Povetkin I mean health wise

    I might had posted something like this seriously if I was drunk and had intent to put joke for fun: Holmes had beated up prime 38 y.o Ali.

    Parkinson's is a bit different to coronavirus, coronavirus doesn't affect your movements for the rest of your life, once you've had it, it's gone, very few get long covid and with Povetkin being a high level professional athlete I very much doubt he had that, he looked like an old fighter in there not a sick fighter

    Watch both fights back to back
    The difference begins with just the ring walk

    Clearly sick too

    Ohh, I get it.
    Doesn't matters, when you will have covid and after this pre fight camp, you will see. Or casual seasonal virus. Too will be enough.

    You are western fan who does not appreciate all EE fighters.

    I will tell you another thing: Ali was even younger when he " won ":D Norton and lost vs Frazier.
    Patterson was young when Liston beated out him all crap and before this Johanson had KOed him.
    I might continue with your excuses regards to old era fighters.
