Klitschko compares Povetkin with Tyson ahead of Moscow fight (Video)

"Povetkin is like a Chagaev" wouldn't sell the event.

This must be Wlad's answer to everyone treating all his opponents like bums. Compare all of them to Tyson as a big f##k you. You want to berate all my opponents? Fine I'll make them all sound like ATG's. How do you like that? Pianeta is now George Foreman. Mormeck and Povetkin are like Tyson and Pulev will be Larry Holmes. Eat that, b!tches. #stillchampion

He's obviously not, but let's not act like Povetkin is some bum that's going to get wiped out. Povetkin is an Olympic Gold medalist, 125-7, He defeated Roberto Camarelle 3 times in the amateurs. He's undefeated and he's a top 5 HW, and this is definitely the biggest fight of Wlad's career. The obvious haters are going to try and play down Povetkin as like another bum or w/e, just to discredit Wlad.

povetkin is no tyson in any way, but this can very likly be the thoughest fight of wlad's career. povetkin is awefully underated on this forum.. style wise i give povetkin much better chance than i would give to haye. I totally agree with you.

I think that's his thing... to compare everybody he fights to Mike Tyson I was going to say, is that his go-to? When in doubt, say you're fighting someone like Tyson. Doesn't matter if it's true.

Povetkin's not even better then trevor berbick :lol1:

I laughed so hard when mormeck got the mic after wlad and was like: thanks, but I'm nothing like Tyson, I don't have that kind of speed or power :lol1: wlad just wishes he had someone like tyson in his era

Wlad is exactly right because both Tyson and Povetkin are both big black power punchers in the cus bob and weave style, oh wait a minute.......

I don't understand why he would say it. Povetkin is a big enough name as it is. But he probably didn't mean much by it. It was worse with Mormeck. jeez,,,never knew he said that about mormeck. thats laughable.

I'm a Klitschko fan, but these continuous comparisons with Tyson are annoying... "Alexander Povetkin has a lot in common with Mike Tyson in his prime". Why Wladimir, why? Povetkin is nothing like Tyson. Just like shot-to-**** Mormeck was nothing like Mike. Talk up Povetkin's Olympic achievements, sure. Rant over. Looking forward to another Klitschko KO victim. :) From 1.51. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7006/90ap8h.png http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7006/90ap8h.png http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7006/90ap8h.png

Oh, like when you compared Momerk to Tyson too and even Momerk couldn't believe you said that?
