Vitali Klitschko (Adamek fight) vs Alexander Povetkin (Chagaev fight)

Vitali by UD.

 

Vitali by decision

 

I think vitali stops him eventually

 

Vitali just plain beats him up

 

Vitali on points is the most likely. He had the height and the body sway to deal with aggressive sluggers like Povetkin and a great sense of timing to avoid the worst of the incoming. Povetkin was probably the uncrowned champion if the Klitschkos weren't around towards the end of their reign, and I like him a lot, but he's pushing a boulder up a hill here. Vitali has the workrate and stamina to outwork Povetkin down the line and I think his size would be decisive.

To give Povetkin some credit, his head movement might render Vitali's nasty chopping downward right hand somewhat ineffective, but Vits has a lot of other tools to use.
