What on Earth are you talking about?
Usyk beat Hunter from pillar to post and was never for one second in trouble against him. Povetkin went life and death to get a draw against Hunter.
Povetkin was 40 when he fought Hunter. Povetkin has been old for quite some time, he was old when he fought Joshua. He was old when Whyte was beating on him for 4 rounds. It was so easy in fact for Whyte that he must’ve forgot who that old guy was. When he woke up, he remembered
Povetkin was a natural HW with power in both hands and I doubt he weighed below 230 at the peak of his career.
Povetkin was also more skilled and crafty than Usyk and he had a better amateur career. Povetkin was the Southpaw killer in the amateurs and he was Cammarelle’s nemesis - beat him every time they fought. The same Cammarelle who was a greater and more skilled than Usyk as a Southpaw.
Don’t ever compare Povetkin and Usyk. Povetkin would’ve sparked everyone Usyk fought in the cruiserweight division.

Usyk does not have a bigger bone structure than Povetkin.
They are close in size, but I would say Povetkin is bigger 'And was naturally stronger also'.
I would say Usyk & Haye are of similar size, they where both big cruiser weights.
At the end of the day, Usyk & Haye in any other decade in history would of been heavyweights.
The cruiser-weight division is where old school heavyweights hang out these days etc.
Bigger how?
Usyk has longer bones, he's an inch taller, longer arms etc but Povetkin was certainly more compact and dense, Povetkin would have been severely drained at 200lbs, Usyk was fine and healthy at that weight.

Agree with a lot of what you said however Povetkin does share a similar opponent with Usyk (Marco Huck) and most felt he lost. I know it was a different version of Huck but couldn’t see him giving Usyk that many problems at any point of his career.
Similar weight maybe but Usyk can't hit like Povetkin.
