    Povetkin spend his teenage years training 2-3 times a day in Russian boxing centers. That gave him so good athletisicm, speed, power, technique and reflexes. Even he's in PEDS, most of his abilities and skills comes from what he did as a kid. Plus he was outstanding amateur fighter and olympic champion. Even Klitschko couldn't beat him in fair fashion.

    He's got pretty good skills since amateur days.

    He was skinny guy back then with small arms but hit pretty hard for a guy built like him.

    He has improved as a pro mainly in power/strength departments

    His skill level is unquestionable. Nobody forgets that and if he was clean he would be a serious threat to all the other top boys in the division. But he is still a massive cheat who should be banned.

    What happened when journey fighters Corrie Sanders and Ross Purrity fought Wladimir Klitschko? They knocked him out. Sanders in only 4 minutes. What happened to Povetkin when he fought a passive aggressive version of Wlad? He got his butt kicked. Povetkin isn't that good of a fighter.

    Povetkin is an excellent fighter. His record is undefeated except for a loss to the most dominant fighter of the last decade, and I love his all-action style.

    That said, getting bust for peds a second time has made me wonder how much of his success was due to them.

    So you admit that he used Ostarine AFTER being caught using Meldonium?

    Wladimir Klitschko will beat Corrie Sanders and purrity 8/10 times . Povetkin fought a much more cautious and prepared Wlad, you cannot use these comparisons as they make little sense, if Wlad was careless his jaw would have shattered from a Povetkin's Tsar bombs.

    I think we should let Povetkin do all the drugs he wants to and lets see if he gets better than he already is so as we can solve this blame game once and for all.

    and for gods sakes someone get him some more melodium at the very least!!!

    No he won't. He'd lose to them 10 out of 10 times which is why he didn't rematch them you hideous omen. Lol. And Headvetkin couldn't even reach Wlad. Should've butted him right Mr unemployment?

    Wlad is a superior technician, the likely hood of him losing to both 10 out of 10 times is slim. Go back to collecting those welfare checks Senor Potato head.

    One of the best boxer-punchers in the world is Povetkin.

    He's been a fantastic boxer forever.
