    It's obvious you started this topic to rag on Povetkin to really diminish a probable Wlad win over an undefeated HW :-(

    Yeah, APs biggest wins were over smallish HWs, although by 70s standards they would be good sized HWs and the 70s are still hyped to the moon by some on here :huh

    Let me put it another way. Wilder has beat two name HWs - a shot Liak and has been who never was Harrison. His other wins have been vs dishwashers, pt cab drivers, and fat Walmart clerks :tired but is being hyped by many.

    This your real "point".

    HW champs in all past eras have made title defenses vs opponents much worse than Povetkin :deal

    It ain't easy to beat Wlad. Punching Power and Skills are required.

    Fighters like Dimitrenkov Vyrchis ain't talented enough.
    Fighters like Chambers and Byrd do not have the punching power.

    What makes you think Golota was a better boxer than Povetkin ?

    Well, Povetkin is obviously superior to Golota. Bowe's claim to fame is based only on his win over Holyfield. Against Golota, Bowe's "prime" had suddenly disappeared and that speaks a lot about his mentality. There are countless more ways to bash Bowe than to bash Povetkin, yet you decide do the second thing.

    Povetkin has a very poor resume indeed, but in this era it's fine. The champs themselves also have very poor resumes so it's hard to criticise a challenger.

    By your "logic" all HWs - even champs - had poor resumes when the Communist block (that's most of Eastern Europe btw) was not competing prior to the 90s.

    The 80s and earlier (mainly) US HWs were competing in a very limited, weak era. Within 20 years the best HWs mainly come from East Europe. What a coincidence, eh :yep

    I'm sure even an intellect :roll: such as yourself can figure this out. No? :lol:

    After The Klitschkos retire, there are many more Eastern European heavyweights coming up to take their place!!! actually is all divisions........

    Both Vlad and Povetkin were Olympic Gold medalists, superheavyweight division!!!

    In an era where actual contenders rarely meet, Povetkin's resume is solid. You have to judge by contemporaries instead of from different eras. A guy like Nino Valdez was only ever a top 3-5 guy in his time but he beat maybe 15 other ranked contenders(in HOF Ezzard Charles), as many as a modern great like Lennox Lewis, but that's just because contender vs contender match ups were more frequent and common in the 50s. He's not the level of Lennox Lewis at all.

    Moving on to Povetkin. Really, I would argue that despite lacking a real title and not looking nearly as dominant or convincing, his resume is just as good as Vitali since 2008.

    Samuel Peter|Ruslan Chageav
    JC Gomez|Marco Huck
