      Slightly off topic (although he is one of Povetkin's conquests): I still think Eddie Chambers would cause problems for David Haye. IMO, Haye prefers slow, cumbersome opponents with next-to-no head movement.

          What? A win over Wawrzyk makes you the third best? What about his loss to Huck? Povetkin is nothing but a protected hype-job.

          I could name at least five guys in the division who would win over Povetkin. After Klitschko is done with him, I hope you still say he's number three. And then we'll see what happens when he finally steps up.

            Eddie Chambers? Haye would beat him like he was his daddy.

              Wins over Chagaev, Byrd, Chambers, Donald easily trumps any active non-klit HW you can dig up, but please name the 5 you say has a better resumé.

                Other than Chambers, which of those fighters were in their prime or even remotely close to it when they fought Povetkin? I'm surprised you didn't mention Hasim Rahman there as well.

                I haven't said anyone had a better resume. I said he wasn't the 3rd best - which he isn't. He's fighting has-beens and never-was' all the time.

                  Oh you are talking fantasy fights and perceived skill level then. I'm more into factual stuff, so please carry on. I'm out.

                    Im saying that out of his supposed best 5 wins you just listed, 4 of them were waay past their expiration date, some were coming off losses and some were coming off KO losses. Don't try and sell that as a legitimate win.
