Can povetkin take a punch?

[joe strong]

He's been brought along right by stepping up early with wins over journeyman bostice,ahunanya,donald,Byrd,chambers,estrada.all nice wins vs slick,smaller,light hitting heavyweights.he's yet to have his chin tested by a big puncher.could be an issue vs a klitschko.

Yes he can. Sasha has an excellent chin and hits very hard. I would like to see him fighting Maskaev or Peter in a tune up fight.

been making my povetkin career set.been watching his fights in order.I got 13 of his fights & that's when I realized he hasn't had his chin tested.

Povetkin never fought a big puncher, that's why i think he should fight a Sam Peter who has incredible power with no skills whatsoever.

when Nolan was picked(I called that one)there were rumors of Boswell or guinn fighting him...maybe he should have fought either of those guys.guinn can really punch but his activity level is low so it was a fight he could have won & had the chin ? Answered.

Peter would be good but maskaev at this point? Yeah why not...maybe this chin question is why teddy seems to be reluctant to have sasha fight wlad...who knows

[joe strong]

many wondered this question with wlad before the sanders fight & now I'm wondering about sasha.he got hit cleanly many times by Byrd,estrada & chambers.they couldn't back him up but what if guinn or peter hit him,would he be able to take it?
