    Is Alexander Povetkin the next great heavyweight?.

    I saw his fight with larry donald . He has amazing speed , good head movement . He throws 3 and 4 punch combinations to the body and head and has skills that you would expect to see in lighter weight divisions.

        No. He's good, but not "the next great champ." He could get as high as #4 on my list with a few wins, but I don't see him getting higher than that.

        Most importantly, he's not a guy who's gouing to pose a danger to Klitschko, whereas Peter and Chagaev are such guys.

          he is a good all rounder but nothing special. he could win a belt.

            I saw him fight twice, he has decent speed but doesn't do anything great also he is very green. I don't think he is the next great champ at all. Would I be shocked if he one day gets a piece of the crown? No, nothing in this current heavyweight division would surprise me, but I don't think he will.

              We can't define it today. He broke Bostice like a cup but unshaped Larry made him look silly. After that fight Sandro told that he had some health problems. We'll see his real potential very soon. One or two bouts at most. He has equal chances to become second Tyson and second Calvin Brock.

              One thing makes me happy: he will not be able to become the second Audley Harrison yet.
