    Tbf Wilder signed up to box Povetkin in Russia before Povetkin failed a drugs test.

    Absolutely, not a freak or lucky shot but he was struggling in the fight. I think Povetkin’s body work probably played a part in slowing down Whyte a bit.

    Whyte has cherry picked a big name who was well passed his sell by. And couldn't get it done.

    Dubois would knock through Eddie's conservatory

    Think its more to do with shafting the coach who took you from area level to world level. Well that and fact he was never world class in my opinion, as his two life and deaths will British/Euro level at best Chisora proved.

    1000 days mandatory for WBC be a travesty if Povetkin doesn’t get the shot within the next 90 days

    Yes.

    Povetkin style was always more dangerous for whyte than fury. Because he can throw shots like that, slipping in and throwing vicious hooks etc to whytes vulnerable jaw..

    Fury a better fighter than povetkin of course but he couldn't have produced a shot like that, fury whyte would have been a slug fest and probably a points win for fury.

    But povetkin far more dangerous in terms of him getting tagged and banged out as was just proven.

    Whyte was literally iced by a tired almost-beaten OLD man.
    Povetkin looked pretty much a completely shot fighter after 3 rounds, which is not at all surprising for a swarmer who turns 41 in a few days.

    Size advantage, youth on his side, fighting at his promoter's home, rated as a vastly improved fighter yet sparked by one punch from a battered old man who was on his last legs and a million miles on the clock.

    Yeah, "it can happen in heavyweight division", yeah, it can.
    Yeah, Povetkin did the same thing to
    ... David Price.

    Povetkin shouldnt get the shot.

    It's a **** take out of whyte if pov can come off a draw and jump straight into a title fight whilst whyte was made to wait 3 years and fight top fighters risking everything.

    Besides who wants to see povetkin fury, povetkin is shot to **** and should retire.
