i dont have time to check at the moment but isnt dimirenko 2 or 3 years younger than povekin???

if so he should still be improving but def povetkin deserves the hype based on his impressive accomplishments both amateur and pro

Povetkin is 27 and Dimitrenko is only 24...I have high hopes for Dimitrenko too, because he is still young enough to improve. He has lots of talent, but he needs to add a little muscle and become physically sturdier.

That sums it up quite nicely.

Indeed it does. Thanks for the education, CJ. I was unaware of all those facts.
