    Why would you take anything she says seriously? Her movie with Jackie Chan about some magical Tuxedo made me lose all credibility with her.

    The question should be: why anybody above 6'3" should be afraid of Povetkin?

    Because under that size, Povetkin obliterates anyone else, he's really the best in the short sized range.

    But above that size, people like Jennings and Cunningham and even Eddie Chambers are better in dealing with tall people. Povetkin has no clue in how to deal with tall opponents, his style is all wrong also, and that's why Wildest, for how overrated he is, might easily win a decision over him.

    Yes. Povetkin's former manager Vlad Hrunov is bigger liar than Don King and Bob Arum combined.

    He promised Russians to bring Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis at his shows like 20 times and never actually did it.

    He fooled Povetkin, Drozd, Lebedev and others and stole their money.

    Hrunov is a liar and a thief.

    Agreed. It's one thing to look good at fighters that come to you like Charr and Perez but when your opponent isn't playing into your strength then the fight can go a different direction. Even Takam was giving Povetkin problems early on when he boxed him.

    Povetkin's next fight with Wach will give us some insight in how he deals with a tall fighter now. Wach won't beat him, but he will give Povetkin something different to deal with.

    So while I have Povetkin the favourite I don't think it's going to be a walk in the park as some assume.

    Ask Wlad. He refused point blank to box him. He knew he wasn't good enough , simple as that.

    He won't get away with bringing a Judo strategy to a boxing match a second time so I hope Wilder to made face him next.
