Comments Thread For: Whyte vs. Andy Ruiz in Serious Talks, But Povetkin is Frontrunner

They wouldn't be able to sell the Hunter fight on PPV. It would be Whyte's worst numbers if they tried that. Povetkin is a name. Hunter isn't. Stands to reason if you're not biased and don't have an agenda.

I guess I am biased, because in America, Povetkin is not a name. Maybe it's different in the UK? Hunter is not a name yet either. However Hunter (31) is on the way up, and Povetkin (40) is on the way out. If Povetkin was on the same level as Klitschko, Pacquiao, GGG, or Kovalev, I could understand. Over here he is not.

Whyte should be fed with active boxers who are in their prime not those at the tail end of their careers.

Whyte has fought better opponents than Wilder. The only credible opponent Wilder has fought is an unfit Fury and he lost that fight.

I think you're just reading too much into it. I am NOT comparing the power of Foreman with Ortiz. And that is just an example.

Neither Ortiz nor Povetkin, at this age, are in their prime. But, yes, Ortiz looks to be a slightly more powerful puncher than Povetkin right now.

Ortiz hasn’t even stopped anyone like Price in the last 5 years , you’re reaching .

Povetkin has fought legit fighters , Ortiz has not and got two gifted title shots from left field .Theres literally no fight that shows Ortiz hits harder then Povetkin in ten years ,anyone Ortiz stopped so could Povetkin .
