Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Would Embrace Dillian Whyte Showdown

[Batfink]

Dillian is a tough competitor and is a grafter, his road to a title shot will be full of tough fights because of the emergence of wilder/fury. He has no choice but to take out all the B class fighters in the division such as Povetkin/Breazeale/Ortiz

Whyte has recently started to up the anti by insisting he can mix it with wilder/fury/Joshua and as such insists he is part of a top 4 above all the rest. That’s a bold statement and one that will require ratification. His path is fairly clear, it will consist of all big touch fights against worthy opposition and as his PPV status keeps increasing the likes of Joshua/wilder/fury will inevitable fight him sooner or later. This is a career that’s probably the most interesting to watch an underdog in the division with a hell of heart and determined to be crowned as a heavyweight champion. I can’t help but respect the tenacity and hunger of the body snatchers...

Povetkin is drastically overrated.

Povetkin has every advantage over Whtye apart from age. Good fight.

As long as the winner of Fury vs Wilder is Wilder. A Fury win will presumably result in yet another rematch, leaving Breeze-Ale stuck in mandatory position for a while longer.

Still won't risk his shot by fighting a good opponent before he gets his opportunity.

Whyte is going to have to fight povetkin or ortiz if he wants a big fight soon. A shame...he's probably the most deserving of a shot of all the heavyweight contenders.
