Povetkin's resume isn't very impressive

[puro dinamita]

but we all really know who wants that fight WAR POVETKIN!!

[SN!PER]

Povetkin is undefeated. The Wlad fight should be a DQ.

If you've ever had a 250 lb. man hold you in a headlock and lean his weight on your bent spine, imagine how weak and exhausted Povetkin felt for 12 rounds.

Excuse me? Alongside Matthysse he is the best fighter not to have won a eorld title.

And the most amazing thing about him he accepted his defeat like a man! Despite the foul clinching Klitschko abused

Povetkin is the mandatory and asking for a Povetkin fight for some time now, but instead of making it, Mr BBC is feeding off bums no one heard about and trying to delay the fight with Povetkin as long as possible, what does that tell you?

Wilder, for being a beltholder has one of the worst resume i can think about, not a single top 10 win beside Stiverne and that in a pretty weak division and in 35 fights. That is quite embarrassing.

You forgot Diamond Boy. Pffft!

Povetkin has one of the best heavyweight resume's of all active HW's.

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

I've only recently become a Povetkin fan, following his run of killer form against Charr, Takam and now Perez and his gutsy performance against Wlad (whom I was sure would brutalise and knock him out). Prior to that I also considered him overhyped, and didn't quite see the fuss about him. Now I see his true quality, and he's a very good fighter indeed.

It remains to be seen how well he does against Wach, a huge man who's a bit better than I initially thought and no walkover by far. If he fights him like he fights Wlad then he should win without too many problems (unless Wach suddenly turns into an octopus) which would give us a better (not perfect) gauge on how well he'll do against Wilder.

Wilder, for his pains, should try to get in one more stay busy before Povetkin, against a guy who measures up to Povetkin's dimensions and stylistic attributes. I'm thinking someone like Glazkov (maybe a bit optimistic) or Fedosov (a more realistic option). Provided he does that fairly soon and doesn't delay the Povetkin fight any more than it's already been then I have no problems with that, and would in fact look forward to it considering it's bound to be a solid entertaining fight and would only wet the public's appetite for the fight more.

Povetkins resume is heaps better than Wilders and I believe he has less fights.

Povetkin notable wins: Byrd, Chambers, Takam, Perez, Chagaev, Charr, Huck

Wilder notable wins: Stiverne

[Tom Cruise]

The way he is dispatching his recent opponents is pretty impressive even if some of the wins look worse in hindsight than they did at the time

Perez and Takam in particular were known to have very good chins and both were brutally stopped.

His resume is much better than the guys below him and mich worse than the guy above him.
