I know that already, I'm not impressed with Chagaev beating Valuev. I personally think a shot Holyfield beat Valuev aswell and got cheated of a well-deserved victory in a boring ass match.

Povetkin beat skilled fighters like byrd, estrada and chambers. Valuev looks like one big giant punching bag.

I disagree. Wins over Valuev, Virchis, and Ruiz are better then wins over Chambers, Bryd, and Estrada. Povetkin has a great resume for only 17 fights though

well virchis hasnt beaten anyone good..all the good fighters he has fought he has lost to (juan carlos gomez,chagaev) and chagaev beat him by majority decision..which isnt all that impressive..valuev reallly is no good he lost to a 46 year old evander holyfield who is shot now..and ruiz was never anything special to begin with..so in my opinion povetkins resume beats chagaevs by a long shot..sorry

I agree.

Both Povetkin and Chagaev had brilliant amateur careers too. Povetkin's amateur resume is the all-time best at super heavyweight, and Chagaev won Gold at both heavyweight and super heavyweight.

Vladimir Virchis was slow-moving and could be outboxed, but his punch was measured as the hardest in the heavyweight division.

by who?...and u may have the hardest punch but it doesnt account for anything if u cant land it against A level fighters...as u probly already know haha

I dont really rate Povetkin much i think he is slow and plodding he doesnt have much head movement and is not a big puncher either he has very good work rate though. Chambers was hitting him at will early on if that was Wlad he would probably have been stopped or jabbed to death. I think Boystov is a better prospect but i think he should go to america and get some better training i think if he had a peek a boo style he would be very good.
