Povetkin's resume isn't very impressive

[glenn mcrory]

It's actually not that much better than Wilder's. You can bring up top 10 fighters all you want, but it doesn't mean anything when that fighter is only in the top 10 because he fought bums.

Povetkin's best wins:
Takam, Chagaev, Chambers


Takam & Stiverne are by far the best wins each man has on their resume and are pretty equal level of fighters. Perez doesn't count as he didn't even train, same result would occur with Wilder. After that is a big fall off in quality.


Chagaev-Has close wins over Valuev, Oquendo, Ruiz, and Vyrchys. An elite fighter would not struggle so mightily with all these guys. Valuev, the best win out of all 3, has a robbery over Holyfield, and could barely beat Ruiz, he too is an extremely overrated fighter.

Chambers-A close win over Peter & Brock, KO'd by Wlad, a loss to Adamek, and a loss at cruiser. What has he proven against quality competition other than he loses?


Povetkin also struggled badly with former protected cruiserweight champion Marco Huck. He also got badly beaten by Wlad, even Jennings put up a much better fight.

Who else is left on Povetkin's resume, Boswell, Charr, Estrada, Donald, Byrd, Wawryzk, Rahman? Wilder would run through all of these guys.

It's Stiverne & Takam, then everyone else. Povetkin didn't exactly dominate Takam either like Wilder did Stiverne. He got buckled a couple of times and the fight was relatively close until the KO.

We get it already. You like the black D, okay we get it.
No ones judging you, you don't have to keep telling us what we already know.

Too bad j.j. Watt doesn't box I'm sure he'd have a much better resume.

ok...but what's your point? Povetkin is an infinitely more polished and dangerous fighter, and resumes don't have anything to do with that. Just like with fighters like GGG, Lomachenko, and Rigo, you don't have to see them fight top opposition to recognize the talent, gift, and skill they possess. Beating bigger names only helps fighters climb the rankings, and solidify greatness.

Ouch, lol

He will be the best guy Wilder ever fought if the fight takes place. It's a good test for Wilder. If he can beat him I will take him very seriously.

Yeah but everyone knew this.

Povetkin has a great amateur pedigree but was disappointing as a pro. His last 2-3 fights he finally looked like the fighter everyone expected him to be. So the hype is based off what they feel he's capable of if he reaches his potential. Not because of his resume from a underachieving pro career.

Povetkin is insanely overhyped because the boxing establishment has a thing for guys like him with Olympic pedigree. Being trained by Teddy Atlas, etc. He simply doesn't have the tools to be a top level HW in this era. He's smallish with short arms, never seemed that light on his feet and has a fairly predictable attack. He will always look decent against fringe contenders roughly his size and reach but against the big boys he will get dominated. This Wach fight I predict will be life and death
