    Povetkin surprises me every time he fights nowadays. I keep expecting his age to defeat him but he's still there, game as hell.

    Fury, however, is another proposition.

    I'll say this: if Fury comes in well-trained and employing a stick and move gameplan, old man Povetkin will have a hellish night. His chances of winning are probably like 10%. If Fury comes in flabby and with the idea of blasting Sasha away, then Povetkin's chances go way up. I'd say almost 50-50 in that case.

    Fury should in no way seek to trade with Povetkin, even this old version.

    Uh, they publicly announced AT THE TIME that he was being banned for "medical issues," which were related to his suicide attempt and cocaine use. Are you too young to remember, or just too new to the sport, because literally everyone here will remember.

    After 16 months, UKAD tried to charge Fury with a PDS violation. He immediately called lawyers and they temporarily lifted the suspension so he could fight Klitschko in a rematch.

    On October 29, 2016, they re-suspended him for being medically unfit, which was related to his cocaine use and depression.

    It was RETROACTIVELY changed to a PEDS ban. UKAD wanted four years starting from 2017, but had to settle because, admittedly, they could not explain why they had waited 16 months and were afraid of being (righteously) sued out of existence.

    Fury literally never missed a fight due to any PEDs accusation. He was allowed to fight Klitschko the first time and would have been allowed to fight him the second if not for the recreational drug use and suicide attempt.

    That's the history, junior. Look it up. Fury may have singed a piece of paper to get his life back, but has never admitted anything, and never served a legitimate day for PEDs use. If you want to believe that a brief suspension related to cocaine use and mental health can be retroactively changed to a PEDs ban, you go right ahead.

    Youve lost the plot mate. Thats complete and utter rubbish. You cant ban people for mental health issues.

    So much a fanboy youve made a scenario up in your head cause you cant handle the truth. Its pretty pathetic.

    I have told you the absolute truth, and even given you the important exact date of October 29 to look up. Don't be an intellectual coward. Research it.

    Guy, you just don't know how to think critically and do research. You believe as stone truth the first thing you hear. I can explain things to you, I can't understand them for you.

    Cunningham dropped Fury so obviously Povetkin would win.
