Alexander Povetkin Is Extremley Underrated!

[Sweet Jesus]

Povetkin is the best heavyweight not named Klitschko.

Based on what? His ethnicity?

i find this disturbing

[joe strong]

he's fought good competition from the start& atlas will improve his conditioning & defence.intriguing guy to keep an eye on.he fights march 13 vs unnamed opponent.

Chambers would destroy Povetkin in a rematch by mid-round KO.

[Jim Jeffries]

He's pretty good. I wanna see how he looks with Teddy Atlas now.

His first fight with Atlas in his corner:



Looks a lot better than he did in the Estrada fight. Though the 8 lbs he lost and much easier to hit opponent might have had something to do with it.

People were high on him two years ago after beating Chambers and Byrd, but pulling out of the Wlad Klitschko fight, the inactivity, and not exactly fighting world beaters have hurt him since.

[Boxingwizard]

He's a good boxer and he is underrated. My problem is that he's been delaying a fight with W.Klitschko for TWO years already, I don't know how he's still IBF mandatory.

Chambers would destroy Povetkin in a rematch by mid-round KO.

Most likely, and there is nothing Teddy Atlus can do about it.

Depends, Chambers has vastly improved his conditioning since then and had a lot of success against Povetkin early in their fight. But Sasha was also sick if I remember right. Since I'm not a huge fan of Atlas' training ability I'd have to agree with the second part though.

Im also confident "Americas last hope", after lost some weight and won some speed, would win the rematch.

Depends what's left of him after he fights Wlad.
