I've seen warrior povetkin punch people right through their defense. Hitting the gloves so hard their defense comes loose and his punches go right through.

Maybe. But fanboys always hype their own fighters.
I've never really seen Povetkin land all that much. But I don't really pay all that much attention to overweight fighters.
I do like him though, don't get me wrong.
people don't like him because:
1. he's white/eastern-european
2. he's slightly pudging looking (his body type is not the most appealing, so people think he's another sultan ibragimov or chagaev or whatever)
3. he doesn't have a extroverted, aggressive pop culture personality. He seems reserved and polite etc.
Eddie Chambers has man boobs and people still like him, and chambers is also polite person.
Number 1 might sadly have something to do with it, I didn't want to bring race into it though because I might get banned. But I definitely do think that plays a part
Sorry, if I seem to be on povetkins nutts lately. But it just seems like he doesn't get that much credit on these forums and alot of people look passed his talents and some people don't even realize that he won gold in the olmpics aswell. He isn't just a mindless brawler though that style of his is quite entertaining but he is a good boxer/fighter. He isn't stupid in the ring, even though he did take unnecessary punishment by chambers at time in that fight but I also heard he had the flu or some shit not sure if that was true or not.
Like I see people swetting eddie chambers balls lately, and those same people make like thousands of excuses why he lost to warrior povetkin. It is so disgusting... I hate excuses
