    The correct answer is nobody beat a prime Povetkin fair and square

    Wlad beat a prime version of him but only via wrestling/grappling rules not boxing rules. Granted if Wlad was from across the pond he would've not only got a free pass for all that cowardly holding but he would've won Fighter and Performance of the Year for that shameless display

    AJ beat a 39 y/o well past prime albeit still formidable Povetkin

    vs Wlad

    Povetkin 225¾ - Wlad 241¾

    Povetkin 6'2'' - Wlad 6'6''

    Povetkin 75'' reach - Wlad 81''

    Povetkin - 34 - Wlad 37

    vs AJ

    Povetkin 222 - AJ 245¼

    Povetkin 6'2'' - AJ 6'6''

    Povetkin 75'' reach - AJ 82'' reach

    Povetkin 39 - AJ 28

    Whyte who was a lot heavier and longer also beat a shot beyond belief 41 shell of Povetkin

    Anyone who voted Wlad should be forced to watch the fight or watch it back, with fair officiating it would have been impossible for Wlad to do that without a DQ. I don't know if it was even a prime Povetkin: Briedis and others commented on how Povetkin became a "better athlete" post-Klitschko. The late 2018 Povetkin who fought AJ was probably almost 2 years and 4 fights past the end of his prime and the fight was far more competitive than Wlad's but at least AJ beat him legitimately. Whyte's win is meaningless; prime Dave Allen would have beaten that medically unfit walking corpse. The fact that Whyte needed almost 5 rounds to get him out of there was an embarrassment in itself.

    The Wlad fight was really hard to watch and a big disappointment

    Dillian Whyte? Why? Whyte was literally fighting a corpse at that point.

    That's different to prime and roided pov.

    Honestly, because Klitschko must be in the last place because of the use of illegal tactics.
    Not a small number of people think that Klitschko should have been disqualified because of that.

    Wlads win against Povetkin should be a DQ. Wouldn't even call that a fight. AJ's win was against an old Povetkin, but at least it was actually boxing. Whyte got starched by old Povetkin (although he was clearly winning beforehand) then beat a covid ravaged Povetkin.

    Povetkin was not the one initiating the clinching against Wlad. Povetkin is not a known clincher and has fought big punchers before and not resorted to excessive clinching in literally every single exchange. Quite frankly, its outrageous Wlad wasn't disqualified. Pathetic that this is one of his very good names on his resume yet he couldn't box with him so decided to clinch him to death. Absolute pathetic paper chin pus sy
