    Who can beat Alexandre Povetkin

    He destroyed Larry Donald in only his 13th fight, his fight with Byrd will probably be similar. He's fought good opposition very early in his career by his 20th fight he should be in line for a title shot against Wlad.

    He stands and trade punches so you might think that somebody like Peter would give him problems but he's a way better boxer fundmentarlly, faster hands, better combinations, better repetoire of punches, gritty guy. If he closes the distance on Wlad he wins.

    And anybody that isn't extremely strong like Peter or Wlad is just gonna be overwhelmed.

      Peter would be to hard hitting for him to handle, and if he trades he'll be ko'd
      Wlad would destroy him by keeping him on the out side then throwing a right hand and destroying him. Also vitali would beat him as he wouldnt be hurt by alex and would proberly ko him with a combo of punches.

        Peter is a sloppy clobber. Povetkin's punches are more like Tyson's, accurate in combination, faster. He's an overall much better offensive fighter, Peter is just strong and big, he would make Povetkin look like an defensive genious with his sloppy slow punches.

          In his career Povetkin will score more highlight reel KO's for the explosiveness of his punches than will Peter.

          I think Povetkin would actually KO peter, he would just get inside of his wide punches. It might even be over earlier than you would think .

                Chagaev would make him look like a fool.

                Povetkin is just not that good.


                Wlad and Peter would beat him up. Although if Povetkin has a good chin, he has a good chance of out hustling Peter. They are about the same height, If I am not mistaken.

                    There is little doubt that Povetkin has the talent to do that, however at the present time he does not possess those skills. He has far too much of that useless European boxing incorporated into his style. Too much footwork, not enough lateral head movement. Those flaws in his style make him a very easy match Wladimir Klitschko.
