The physical state of last nights heavies...

I am not a member of UKAD or of the independent tribunal that permitted Whyte to face Wach so their professional decision based on the evidence not mine.
However you appear to dispute their viewpoint, so present your evidence to UKAD, i am sure they will welcome your proven expertise and evidence, i shall look forward to hearing of the case being reopened, don't be shy get that evidence into UKAD.

 

I can't disagree, however Povetkin is old and put up a good fight that ended in a draw. 3 years ago he's the easy winner vs Hunter. You can't blame him for being old

The division will be in good shape once the up and comers replace the current top ten.

 

You should check out Arslanbek Makhmudov. He's got the heaviest hands I've seen in the past 20 years. A scary looking dude, he just needs to land once or twice flush and that's it.

 

yeah and funny that booth these guys dont have a big network behind them like aj or wilder

 

Povetkin is shot, not near as shot as somebody like Sam Peter but still shot. Hunter is a guy he would have got out of there easily a few years ago. I really have no idea why he is still in the game given how wealthy he must be. Obviously hanging about for another big payday but is it really worth it?

 

Obviously he has big power, but he also looks quite crude. We've seen these huge power hitters before come out of east Europe. Think guys like Virchis, Abdusalamov, Boystov. They often don't step up well.

 

None of those guys were as accomplished in the amateurs. Arslanbek proved it in the World series of Boxing beating several good men ( via stoppage ) now in the pro ranks.

He also holds a win over Magomedrasul Medzhidov, who is the 3 time world amateur champion.

What I'm trying to say is he probably beat 4-5 guys who medaled in major amateur events that are now undefeated professionals The ability is there, otherwise he would not have these type of quality wins in the amateur's which really does not suit his very pro like game.

Virchis was slow, maybe top 40 at his peak and did not hit this hard. He also wasn't as big. No close in comparison aside from Power which he had but not as much.

Boystov was a much smaller guy with heart issues, which pretty much ended his career. He was a jr world amateur champion who did nothing in the sr's amateurs. Boystov started to struggle moving up. No comparisons here either.

Arslanbek Makhmudov has A+ Power, a very good Chin B+ that has been hit flush by punchers, is huge, scary looking and can box. He's not a top boxer by any means, but his opponent better have some defense and be able to take a punch or they won't last long.

Promotional issues can hold him back. He's not an easy guy to match on the way up due to his power.
