you don't have to look like muhammad ali, but you gotta show up in shape. it looks like he showed up in shape.

Probably 75% of the boxers I mentioned would beat Povetkin for sure and the others would be a toss up. Povetkin hasn't been impressive in a long time. The guy is just staying around and collecting paychecks without performing like he did in the past.

Not true.if he was he wouldn't be fighting the WBC no.7 Manuel,this is a dangerous fight regardless of whether you accept that or not.the fact Povetkin is in the best shape he has been in in over four years proves he is taking this fight serious.

If he was there for the cheque alone you really think he would be in the condition he is on ?

Best shape ive ever seen him in. Lets see if it makes a difference

It made a difference. Sasha looked fast and sharp. Good win even though it looked like Charr was getting up and was held down by the ref. He was not out cold like everybody seems to say.

I'm lost.......Ali fought about 25% of his career out of shape.
