Usyk is bigger than povetkin

Bigger bone structure-

People thinking he is too small are trippiinnn+ he uses the full ring and is a cardio machine

Povetkin was a natural HW with power in both hands and I doubt he weighed below 230 at the peak of his career.

Povetkin was also more skilled and crafty than Usyk and he had a better amateur career. Povetkin was the Southpaw killer in the amateurs and he was Cammarelle’s nemesis - beat him every time they fought. The same Cammarelle who was a greater and more skilled than Usyk as a Southpaw.

Don’t ever compare Povetkin and Usyk. Povetkin would’ve sparked everyone Usyk fought in the cruiserweight division.

Similar weight maybe but Usyk can't hit like Povetkin.

Povetkin was a beast! Crafty, skilled and powerful. I'll give Usyk the former. The latter, not so much.

Agree with a lot of what you said however Povetkin does share a similar opponent with Usyk (Marco Huck) and most felt he lost. I know it was a different version of Huck but couldn’t see him giving Usyk that many problems at any point of his career.

Bigger how?

Usyk has longer bones, he's an inch taller, longer arms etc but Povetkin was certainly more compact and dense, Povetkin would have been severely drained at 200lbs, Usyk was fine and healthy at that weight.

Povetkin fought an unbeaten Huck in his prime whilst Usyk fought a washed up Huck that was sparked by Glowacki and battered by Briedis. Huck was coming off a loss when Usyk fought him.

Also, confidence plays a big role in boxing. And Usyk isn’t beating the Huck Povetkin fought.

Do you think Usyk would’ve sparked the Byrd that Povetkin sparked at the beginning of his career?

Usyk does not have a bigger bone structure than Povetkin.

They are close in size, but I would say Povetkin is bigger 'And was naturally stronger also'.

I would say Usyk & Haye are of similar size, they where both big cruiser weights.

At the end of the day, Usyk & Haye in any other decade in history would of been heavyweights.

The cruiser-weight division is where old school heavyweights hang out these days etc.

He is taller, not bigger. Povetkin was never a cruiserweight.

What on Earth are you talking about?

Usyk beat Hunter from pillar to post and was never for one second in trouble against him. Povetkin went life and death to get a draw against Hunter.
