Dimitrenko, Boytsov, Povetkin, Ustinov - Who comes out on TOP?

[Fulcrum29]

If an eliminator between these 4 slavic prospects were to be held, who comes out on top?

Or do you think the triangle theory will come into effect where A will beat B and B will beat C but C will beat A.

also list their strengths and weaknesses

1. Dimitrenko: tallest and probably strongest of all these guys. He most resembles both the style and look of Drago from Rocky.
pro: has good power and huge Klitschko-esque size.
con: has a questionable glass body/chin after recently being hurt to the body by Krasniqi though he did recover and KTFO Krasniqi in like 3 rounds.

2. Boytsov: this guy was proclaimed the white tyson as he's very aggressive and has the same short compact style.
pro: very hard hitter and very aggressive and relentless. Good fundamentals.
bad: from what I've seen just like Tyson he allows himself to be manhandled and grows lethargic in clinches. I feel anyone at the elite level who ties him up constantly may get the better of him but from medium range he's a force to be reckoned with.

3. Povetkin: the olympic/amateur goldenboy who putatively possesses the most decorated amateur pedigree of all time and is currently viewed by many as heir apparent to HW throne.
pro: well schooled fundamentals. good offense and defense everything seems well rounded, decent combination punching relative to today's heavyweights.
con: out of the others he seems to be the most 'pudgy' shaped in his physique and many believe this shows an Arreola-esque poor conditioning. Also his physical size is not all that impressive.

4. Ustinov: don't know **** about this guy, just couldn't find a better east-euro prospect. All I know is he's old (32) but has a perfect boxing and perfect MMA record and has never lost.

Alexander Ustinov has real world-class punching power. I wish they'd move him faster before he gets too old - I think he'd KO most of the top 50 heavyweights right now.

I like Denis Boytsov because of his aggressive style, but I am aware of his limitations. He'll give us some entertaining fights if matched wisely!

Alexander Dimitrenko seems to be fairly easily hurt to the body, otherwise he might be the best of the lot. His inactivity can't be doing him any good - Universum should have given him four fights instead of two last year, and why is he not scheduled to fight yet in 2009?

Alexander Povetkin is the best of the four. I'm concerned about his inactivity while waiting for his shot against Wlad (one fight in the 15 months between Chambers and Estrada). He's generally been fit despite the body build for all his fights except for the Estrada fight, where he seemed a bit soft, but even though he became tired he still threw a lot of punches.

Povetkin. Only know Dimitrenko of the other three. They're just a bunch of "ovs" to me.

Ustinov maybe just an 'ov' but Boytsov is no joke, check these vids out he's a power house and is very young (23 I think)

[Fulcrum29]

Ustinov is a ****in truck too:

[jcarr71]

Dimentreko is the only fighter on there with real serious potential. Povetkin hasn't shown anything in the pros other than the ability to stink up a ring against guys with no power. Boystov is entertaining, but even a 400 billion year old Holyfield could stop Maddalone and Boystov couldn't He's supposed to be a power puncher? Ustinov doesn't even belong in the group.

1. boytsov knocked maddelone down
2. boytsov knocked out israel carlos garcia in 2. It took Chris Arreola 3 rounds to knock him out. By your logic does that mean Boytsov is better than Arreola and should be currently in the top 3 at heavyweight?

5 years from now Dimitrenko will rule the heavyweight division.

but I like Boytsov most and I hope he does well.I'd like to see him fight someone like vidoz by end of the year

[STILL DETOX]

they fought bums, xpt povetkin

[PittyPat]

I'll ignore the White Tyson thing... after all, that useless lump Chagaev still seems to bear that name.

I haven't seen enough of Povetkin, even though I'm really interested since he does have a shot against Wlad later in the year. I think I saw a clip of him once, and he looked a bit tubby. :conf3:

Since I'm a fan, I'll go with Dimitrenko because of the size and confidence he brings to the ring. I just find his style and appearance to be a breath of fresh air in the HW division.

5 years from now Dimitrenko will rule the heavyweight division.

QFT, as they say. And I'm looking forward to it!
