Dillian must regret not taking the rematch offered with Joshua who went on to be destroyed by a unheralded fighter in Ruiz. He is in that proven position of being one punch from disaster and that's how it turned out. He has to box brilliantly in the rematch otherwise Povetkin will do the same again .He is now walking a tightrope as one more loss here and it's hard to see where an opportunity will come.

If you can fight, talk & have a decent fanbase (Love him or hate him) you will always be in the picture because guys will want to fight you for a nice paycheck. Chisora has been doing it for years. Malinaggi, Zab Judah & Golota come to mind although Golota wasn’t a talker but his fouling more than made up for it. Whyte will get fights...

Povetkin has had a hell of a career. Sure the 2 failed drug tests didn’t look good but he had fought a lot of good heavyweights dating back to when he beat Donald, Byrd & Eddie Chambers all in that order. I have been following him a long time. Losses to only Joshua & Klitschko who were both much bigger than him. Unofficially he lost to Huck but at 41 he is still the #4 HW in the world in my opinion. It was no fluke or lucky punch like Whyte thinks. It was a perfectly timed uppercut that he knew would be there at some point. He said it before & said after the fight. He studied Whyte & practiced throwing it in training camp. Povetkin is hard not to like.

For sure... a very likeable guy. Works hard, does not talk **** about anyone a nd wants to make sure the fans get a good fight.

While not covered in the Western media, Povetkin also does A LOT to help kids, particularly underprivileged and donates a lot of time to that. He also trains in his local place to help them out instead of going to a big gym.

You'll should be grateful to Whyte for making the HW entertaining with thrash talking. He's only next after Fury
