    I scored the Povetkin/Huck fight a draw. I think it is overstated that "Huck beat him." I dont have a problem with anyone who scored for Huck, obviously, but it was definitely a razor close fight.

    Klitschko easily. Povetkin was so scared of Wlad’s power that he just gave up the prospect of winning and kept diving into his chest.

    Joshua was trailing on most fans scorecards after 6 rounds against 39 yr old Povetkin.

    Whyte beat an old man who had just been in a hospital bed for a month.

    Klitschko by far.

    He beat a prime Povetkin when he himself was older.

    AJ and Whyte faced an old Povetkin and a shot to bits Povetkin respectively.

    This. Huck for sure is a rough and tough customer but his best punches were not actually scoring punches most of the time. Povetkin was clearly not conditioned properly either. He's usually chugging along in the late rounds but against Huck he was blowing steam from his arse in the second half of the fight.

    How is it not AJ?

    AJ knocked out a game Povetkin that came to win, wasn’t dirty like VK and he wasn’t overkill recovering from covid like DW..

    Klitschko vs Povetkin was a disgrace.
    3 knockdowns were pushes and Wlad should have been DQed for holding and pushing

    It disgusts me how Klitschko’s win is leading the poll

    How can anybody who claims to have any objectivity, choose Klitschko?

    That "performance" has to be one of the most disgraceful that I have ever seen - along with the referee. Absolutely ridiculous scenes. It was genuinely embarrassing. Klitschko obviously did not feel too confident that he didn't have someone like Brock, Leapai, Mormeck or one of the other countless bums across from him.

    Because that was the best version of Povetkin.

    And Pov initiated a lot of the clinches himself, it wasnt all Wlad's fault.

    The fact that it was the best version of Povetkin doesn't mean anything. That's such a poor response. Sorry, but I kind of laughed at that.

    Why is Dillian Whyte even in this discussion? He beat post covid Povetkin who was basically a walking corpse. I'm disgusted he was even allowed to fight. He couldn't even maintain his balance when throwing punches. He was just there for a pension payment.

    It's AJ vs Wlad.

    AJ vs Pov was a close fight, I had Povetkin winning 4-2 on rounds before the 7th round KO. But AJ knocked him out clean.

    Wlad's fight was full of controversy and he couldn't knock him TFO. He was considerably more dominant in the rounds.

    It all depends on what you prefer. I think AJ's win of Povetkin was pure and non-arguable.

    Many think Pov was cheated by Wlad and refs, I understand why.

    I'm going for AJ's win. Povetkin was 38, so not shot yet. He was noticabely sharper than he was against Hunter and Whyte.

    Wladimir of course, he beat an unbeaten Povetkin that was desperately trying to the very end.
