We all know Povetkin is stepping up real quick, but will he be able to achieve the fame and greatness of Abdul Muhaymin or is he another fighter who has been a hype job and is a result of poor management which might ruin his career early by putting him against Wladimir.
Povetkin: Is he the next Abdul Muhaymin?

i actually never heard of this guy Abdul Muhaymin, i just checked his box rec and i dont know what makes him so great unless you're being sarcastic -
Who the hell is Abdul Muhaymin??
I'm a big fan of Povetkin, he's a very good fighter, has an aggressive crowd pleasing style and he has a great workrate for a heavyweight....He had a legendary amatuer career and won olympic gold medal.
I think his management are making a mistake throwing him in against Wladimir with only 15 pro fights under his belt, he's not ready yet, I can't see him beating Wlad...With that being, he should be able to recover from the loss to Wlad and have a successful career.Comment

I don't really like Povetikin all that much from what i've seen. The Povetkin-Chambers fight was boring and fought at a very slow pace (even at Heavyweight standards)
I've only seen that one fight though so he can still impress, I haven't made a total judgement of the guy.Comment

I see your point..
Povetkin has real promise but fighters of the calibre of Muhaymin are truly one in a generation.. Greatness is like a Comet. It shines brightly but doesnt come by very often...Povetkins people (and fans like you) should set their sights a little lower..

I know it is a great expectation, and I am a skeptic to say the least.Comment
