    not sure what youre trying to say, but i would advice you to hide your insecurities a little better if you want to be taken seriously. hating america and americans is not a platform from which to launch convincing arguments.

    Great post some people on here are in cloud cuckoo land.Povetkin would not live with the best from the 70`s or 90`s.To think he could compete with with Tyson is mind boggling

    I do not need to be taken seriously here. I do not do paid job here to worry about fans assumptions.
    Don't wish, don't take me seriously.

    Well, from where are these Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Shavers, Ali? These are from U.S so I hope these might be compared with Tyson or It is not allowed?

    Thanks to God world does have also non english language forums to use. ;)

    Well its not video game so he would have been down or at least very big trouble after Povetkin connected that punch in exactly similar circumstances. I would say he would have been at least knocked down and finished after it

    He took Lewis’ uppercut when he was a washed up coke addict, so yeah.

    Tyson would've done away with Povetkin much like he did to guys like Tubbs, Biggs, Bruno, Williams etc.

    Tyson`s hooks and uppercuts was awesome too so I don`t get your point at all.

    Povetkin throws better hooks on the inside than Tubbs did and is also a better inside fighter than Bruno was, he throws more power punches than Biggs did and is more solid than Williams was, there`s no evidence that Tyson could have finished Pov with the first hook he landed like he did v the fragile Williams.

    Povetin would have won a world title in the 90`s and has the ability to beat any former WBO champ during the 90`s.

    I agree everyone has a bad day at the office maybe that was Povetkins but nothing he has done convinces me he has a hope in hell against Tyson.As for the others you mentioned in another tread they are all a level above Povetkin

    Mark ant we should also not forget Mike Tyson at his peak was also great defensively with the peek a boo.
