how good can Alex Povetkin be

[Dynamite Kid]

how good can Alex Povetkin be ? i love watching his style of fighting busy and aggresive ,shame he aint got much of a dig and he is a bit on the small side compared to some of the big HW out there

maybe he should get himself down the weights room and add some muscle to pile on some extra pounds im sure Tyson and Holyfield used a lot of weights to bulk up

if Povetkin was as big as Wlad we would have an entertaning HW Champ

I think his management should wait a year or two before putting him in with Wlad because I think he will lose when they fight later in the year and that could ruin a young fighter.

But if it doesn't affect too much, I think he can become a titlist but I don't think he'll be the number 1 heavyweight as long as Wlad is around.

I'm not really sure about putting more muscle on because Povetkin relies on his workrate and added muscle could make him tire easier.

He was hit a lot by a guy his own size in Chambers. And he has disadvantages against Wlad other than size (speed, defense, power, technique).

they do seem to be stepping up his competition quite soon IMO

Thats a great point i wish he had more pop or size ,do u see anyway in which he could get by Wlad

He would need to get inside and stay inside against Wlad but getting inside against Wlad is going to be very tough for him because he has to open himself up to get inside and that leaves himself open for Wlad's right hand and staying inside won't be easy either because Wlad has gotten pretty good at holding onto his opponents when they get close.

That's the only way I think he can get past Wlad, try to get inside without getting hit himself and staying inside.

that was my fear that at range he would get peppered with the jab and boomed with the right hand and inside he would find it difficult to get inside but once he was there he would find it difficult to stay there

he does seem like one of those fighters u can tame and subdue with the jab aswell

I'm not sure if he'd get subdued because Chambers managed to hit him flush with counter right hands but he just kept coming forward but he could definitely get discouraged by Wlad's jab.

Calvin Brock had some success avoiding the big shot early on against Wladimir in a ugly fight. If Povetkin's gonna have a shot he'll have to make it like the first 4 rounds of Wlad-Brock because if he doesn't Wlad will get his jab working and it's lights out.

[MELLY-MEL...]

think he is ok, but not in the league of beating wlad! he is to green, but frankly i don't see him beating klit anyway.

what i mean by subdued is he would run out of answers of how to close the range etc and more than likely become discouraged
