People need to stop with "Povetkin is old and shot"

So Ortiz beating Jennings 5 years ago makes you think Ortiz is good?

Ok.

He sparked Jennings out in 7 rounds a few months after Jennings went 12 with Wladimir Klitschko.

So yeah, Luis could be pretty good.

Wish more of the folks in that top echelon would give him a chance to show how much.

Same guys readily jumping in with Povetkin swerve Ortiz, some of them even after being ordered to fight the Cuban.

You might not think much of him but clearly his peers do.

If Povetkin fought the guys Ortiz did he would be hounded on here and failing a pre fight medical and documentation of health issues would have the forum claiming he should have retired years ago.

Ortiz doesn’t get credit for anyone’s win , suggesting someone is not good to begin with is the easy way out but at the end of the day Ortiz hasn’t won a real fight in 5 years no matter how you want to play this in favor of how great he is so you do this by manipulating other fighters as though brushing aside Hunter who would be a top win for Ortiz just doesn’t make sense at all .

4th guy to respond to this.

4th guy to attack Ortiz.

4th guy to completely ignore what I said about Dillian.

Yeah, I thought so.

And by the way, bravo for your concern about Ortiz's physical well being. Funny, I see no mention of Povetkin's failed drug tests or suggestion that he should have been banned from fighting a long time ago.

Guess your concern for the health of fighters is a bit selective.

They call him old because the juxtaposition is changed and no one wants to admit Pov was never very good.

****ing Chagaev

He is old, but obviously that doesn`t mean everybody beats him. Only Klitschko and AJ beat him so far. Whyte is obviously not good enough to beat him.

I also doubt Ortiz, Ruiz, Parker, Pulev, Kownacki, Helenius beat him.

Wilder fight is 50 -50 for me.

Povetkin is old elite fighter. He still beats all guys that are not exactly top level.

Hunter was very lucky to get a draw.

No, Povetkin IS old and shot. Go look at his older matches and it will be clear. The home run uppercut changes nothing
