If Michael Hunter wins against Povetkin, is he the #2 American heavyweight?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Actually, yes.

But bad news: Povetkin will beat Hunter.

Povetkin is old and no longer running on that High-Test fuel. If Hunter can get out of the first few rounds, he'll grind the old man down.

Povetkin still beats any heavyweight under top 10.

Maybe so but Hunter is in that top 10 neighborhood and he's a dog, there is no quit in him.

Should be a great fight.

Should be, but I am not sure about Hunter. He is not very experienced in division. .

Povetkin should be a favorite here. Povetkin only lost against Klitschko and Joshua. Hunter must prove he belongs there.

I would have had Povetkin favourite... except you have to think that Hunter's team have seen something in Povetkin to know that time has
really caught up with him.

Like it or not, there's a lot we don't know and this feels like a fight where the matchmakers know a bit more than we do. This is where matchmakers succeed - they pick the right guy at the right time.

Maybe so, we'll see. I'm really looking forward to this one too. Seems like a good style match-up.

Hunter will be hunted on the night.
Hez getting KOed.

Yeah, Povetkin is old and has looked worse every fight for a while now. I honestly thought that Matchroom was thinking it would be a good win on paper for Hughie, but Povetkin wasn’t shot enough to lose to Hughie lol

Wilder's wins over Ortiz are better as Ortiz is still ranked higher than Povetkin even after Wilder KOed him twice.

Say what?

Povetkin wins:

• H. Fury
• Hammer
• Takam
• Price
• Duhauapas
• Wach
• Perez
• Chagaev
• Byrd
• Chambers
• Charr
• Huck
• Rahman

Ortiz wins:

• Hammer
• Scott
• Jennings
• Thompson

Povetkin has one decision loss and one KO loss to two higher rated champions than the guy Ortiz lost twice to by KO.

GTFO telling me anything about Ortiz being ranked higher than Povetkin. There's zero comparison between the two.
