[DeeMoney]

Which fighter in history went the furthest, either in accomplishment or in ring ability, relative to their athletic talents? For the sake of argument lets define athletic ability as strength, speed, quickness, body control, stamina, and body type.

Povetkin is not highly respected in boxing circles. In fact he's been ostracized and much of his career is now under investigation for repeated drug violations.

And worse than that....he was part of the MOST boring title fight in history with Wlad!!!

[JeBron Lamez]

Joe Joyce ffs.

[max baer]

Tell us which circles Povetkin is so highly respected in. Fact is they are uncovering failed drug tests that were hidden from years before, bringing his whole career into question.

And he was part of the MOST boring fight in history with Wlad!!!
