"Second tier" being basically the biggest threat to title holders at the time, would be the biggest threat to current title holders? What a shock.

And quite frankly the whole "favourite, or at least 50:50" is an awesome call to make when you can't be proven wrong - one I disagree with. Povetkin looked in fine form when he fought AJ, and got KTFO... it would have to be quite a big difference for him to suddenly become a favourite.

I think if we had a time machine and pulled some of the guys of years gone by to now, applied current drug testing to them and got them to fight the current crop quite a few hats would be eaten - not saying the current guys would beat them, just saying the bullox talk that the current guys are weak will fall apart and actually things will give and take be quite competitive. There are different styles, different approaches, stricter drug testing but there is some decent talent right now... Usyk is coming up to heavyweight and he is in the discussion for ATG rankings of cruiserweights. Lets see how that plays out?

Povetkin was 40 years old. That's why I said prime Povetkin.
Even though Povetkin is ancient he is still in top 10. Just like Pulev.
