      He has a very cautious style and no personality at all.

      Not a good combination for a HW boxer to be honest.

        He just refuses to commit. He's too gunshy. In addition, to being too inhibited.

          His general know how is what stops people from beating him to death.

          No physical gifts whatsoever. Literally zero. His right hand is an ********.

          No physical gifts? He's 6'6" with an 80" reach. His physical gifts are the only reason you know his name.

            So you discredit his opponent which in TURN says Povetkin didn't win against any creditable fighter tonight ?

            1 .No see a fan would say Povetkin not in best shape beat a well prepared Fury .

            2. Not Povetkin beat a clueless weakling and be passive aggressive defaulting Povetkin.


            See how that works, ever see the movie " Last American ****** " ? Well see if you can watch it on a device or whatever and look at Hooker scene with the 3 kids scene bc" you have a lot to learn " lol

              The HW equivalent of Paulie, without the motormouth.

                  Think he knows instinctively how to avoid big damage and knowing he can't really inflict any of his own. And doesn't have the strength to really take the play away from the better big men.

                  He actually sort of fights like its bare knuckle and he's gonna fight for 2 hours. There's no intensity there.

                  He's also obviously not a heavyweight.

                  But yeah, he's a quiet lad. I can't say I'd go out of my way to watch him fight anyone.

                  Could he beat Pricey, Dubois, Chisora, Whyte, Allen, Bakolie.

                  I dunno man. Is it really worth it for him?

                    I absolutely agree. He doesn't turn his punches over for power.

                      He's only 24 that's why. Eddie could sell the idea that Hughie lost fights due to inexperience but would improve. Hughie and Peter both said we would see a different side to him, he hasn't delivered. The worst thing was the entire crowd was flat during the latter half of that fight. I wonder what Eddie must be thinking.
