    Yes, you're a moron. You can speculate on my self-esteem, but at least I can pick a fight and actually know what I'm talking about in the scope of boxing. You'd think after so many wrong predictions, you'd take time for self-reflection, to question why YDKSAB.

    Povetkin will win by very late stoppage, this mans been on the rampage ever since he lost to klitschko and I've loved watching every minute of it!

    Bull****s. They both have been in shape in various fights, and you know that well, hater.

    Unless you consider in shape only having a body fat percentage below 10%, in wich case, Frazier or Foreman were never in shape, nor Ali past his lightheavyweight days :deal

    I'm not a "hater" of either, I imagine you are a fan boy since you got offended by such a remark. My point was being overweight in a fight does not necessarily indicate lack of dedication, evident from various Fury or Thompson fights.

    Povetkin by late ko, I genuinely didn't think it was humanly possible to stop Takam so I'm not doubting this boy again. Perez has all the talent in the world but lacks a brain and motivation.

    Perez is still undefeated in my eyes, since his loss to Jennings was due to a stupid point deduction, without that the fight would be scored a draw.

    One thing to note is that Perez had a draw with Takam, while Povetkin vs Takam was a draw at the point of the KO (2 refs had it 76-76). Now this is not a very good way to predict a fight but unless a KO happens, it's safe to predict that the fight will be close on the cards, closer than most people predict. I have watched both fights and style wise it should be close with Povetkin having a higher work rate can give him the egde but in terms of landed punches it should be very close, it will be about the refs if it goes to scorecards.

    Can Povetkin KO Perez? That's the question. If he can't, anything can happen on the scorecards.

    You deny you're a hater while you make a false point, and yet you claim i'm a fanboy when i simply state the truth.

    Anyway if your point is that you can be chubby and still have great conditioning, i 100% agree, i always said that. Actually it's often the case that the more ripped an heavyweight is, the most stamina issues he'll have. Not always the case, but still.
    Your point wasn't clear , tough.

    Anyone feel Povetkin can stop Perez?? I know he has good chin but since his fight vs Abdusalamov i dont think he is the same.

    I think Perez's chin is quite untested. On the other hand, his defensive skills are vastly underrated, and he's a southpaw. The fight can easily go the distance, depending on how they fight, imo.

    His chin is at least serviceable, but I'm not convinced it's as good as some are making out to be. He was buzzed by Jennings in their fight, if Jennings can hurt you then Povetkin can almost certainly KO you with the right shot. :good
