        Povetkin vs Peter would look like the heavyweight version of Pavlik vs Miranda.

          In fact I was just watching it. And to this point nobody has ever done a number like that on Donald. Dominated the fight round 1-10.

          Something Special? I guess he's no Carl Froch.

            Hey buddy why u getting so wound up by people putting him down? You're acting like he's the second coming to the heavy weight division, he's just one more average fighter made to look good in this **** heavy weight division.
            In my opinion he'll still get ko'd by wlad, peter and chagaev would proberly box his head off. Hell david haye could proberly ko him with his straight right hand which is lethal.

                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.


                Come on man.... Next you will try to tell me.. Saku Koivu will win the Art Ross..

                  Povetkin has one major flaw and that's defense. He lets way too many punches through. Donald hit him with many flush punches but Povetkin's chin is not bad and Donald power is not that great. I've seen many fights of Povetkin and he is very hittable. Unless he corrects those mistakes, he will eventually get knocked out. He is very prone to the left hand when he is coming inside. I see any decent boxer with decent power using that against him and knocking him out. Wlad, Chagaev, Peter, Brewster, and Virchis would give him the world of trouble. The night is still young for him though, I believe he can work on his defense and be a lot more dangerous for the division.

                  By the way, I think he might actually defeat Byrd but Brock will give him a very hard fight when they fight.
