We'll know a lot more about Povetkin after he fights Barrett. I think he's the real deal, but if he struggles against Barrett he's never going to dominate the division. If he handles Barrett easily, then he's ready to fight contenders and is only another fight or two away from a title shot. His small number of professional fights is deceiving - he fought in top level world amateur tournaments for a long time, so he's had lots of experience.
