    Why doesn't alexander povetkin use the peek a boo style?

    I mean he is a short heavyweight the only way he is going to get inside on someone as tall as wlad klitschko is to move his head .povetkin is too easy to hit because he doesn't move his head enough .

    Povetkin is still very green, he has only had 14 professional fights. Povetkin will learn to adjust his style and tighten up his defence. Wlad will kill Povetkin when they fight in 2008.

      All the more reason for povetkin to use the peek a boo style. If he ever wants to have a legitimate chance of beating wlad and povetkin isnt that green . He was in the amateurs for a long time and has good boxing skills.

          What other fighters besides tyson have used the peek a boo style besides floyd patterson who was a cus damato trained fighter. I cant understand why so few short fighters use the peek a boo style .

              Its a very tiresome and difficult and complicated style to get down. It takes years to get it down. So many odds and ends to get down with it.

                Tyson at 5'10" didn't have much choice. Peter, at 6'1" has had pretty good success against the taller heavyweights. I think at 6'2" Povetkin has other options, plus the peek a boo style takes years to perfect.
