    I think David Haye would probably beat them all except Wlad of course.

      Not saying hes Tyson, but he could ko both Wilder and Fury.
      Those Ko's came from an accumulation of punches late in the fight. He won't have a chance to engage wilder or fury in a war, his chances to land on them will be limited and he doesn't have the power to take advantage of those small opportunities.

        No, he has one-punch KO power. You should watch more of his fights.

        17 of Povetkin's 20 KOs have come in rounds 1-5.

        His KO percentage of 68.97% is higher than that of Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton and Jack Johnson.

          None of those guys are punchers. they're all considered feather fists in fact

              I remember when one year ago some bunch of idiots were laughing at me for saying that Povetkin was the second best heavyweight on the planet.

                definitely povetkin. he imo will be the next big heavyweight unified champion superstar after wlad retires.

                  Why do you say that? Povetkin boxes tall, his offensive footwork is good, his jab effective and his chin is excellent.

                  You're underrating his power too, not that I think a fighter needs a lot of power to touch Wilder or Fury.

                  I think Fury has a better chance against Povetkin because he can potentially bully him on the inside and tie up him when he comes forward, I don't like Wilder's chances against Povetkin at all, he has little more than a puncher's chance (albeit a decent one).

                    The poll gives a clear indication already. A rematch with Sasha is warranted.

                      I doubt that.

                      Povetkin is 35 years old, not 25. There is no next phase of his career. But I agree he is the best along with Pulev, after Wlad
