Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin: I Would Like To Fight Tyson Fury

[Ravens Fan]

I thought Rahman was retired. He's a mandatory? And I guess Holyfield is next. Or maybe Povetkin will call out Larry Holmes or Trevor Berbick. The ultimate fake champion.

Actually Trevor Berbick was murdered back in 2006. And Rahman may be old and past his prime but, at this point, his power alone is more than anything Fury has to offer. And I am sure this is only the beginning of the long list of tomato cans, dead beats, past their prime and the ones that never were that Teddy has lined up to fight Povetkin.

This is an odd statement to make. Most HWs say they want the Klits, this overrated bum says he wants Tyson Fury....

Shows what he thinks of his own level.

You have a very good point.

Berbick's dead. And your point is? I am sure Povetkin will be calling out Joe Frazier too when somebody reads him Frazier's obit

This is actually a much closer fight than many people think it is. Fury's had several good performances this year against some solid opponents and he's pretty dedicated now than in previous years. Against Povektin, Fury has the much longer reach/height and he's not afraid to let his hands go..

Povetkin on the other hand is the much more experienced and technically sound fighter. He's patient, he's picks his shots and defensivley is very savy. It's an interesting match up to me, much more so than against Wladimir...

He is dead, that was my point.

Right now there isnt any heavyweight out there whos on the same level as the Klitschkos that could beat them, including Povetkin. Povetkin is one of the verry few boxers who realize that. He knows hes not able to beat them yet and propably never will be. I for my part cant wait for the Klitschkos to retire because we will have better fights and more even fights between the next champions. I mean look at all these Klitschkofights and then look at Helenius vs. Chisora, that was the best HW fight in a few years IMO. Of couse it would be even better if a HW comes up whos able to dethrone the Klitschkos but its verry doubtable because they will not fight much longer anyway. And IMO a guy who would be able to beat both has not yet turned pro so it will not happen..
