Thread: Alexander Povetkin- the best of the best!

Bob fought when there was no cruiserweight.

Ali and Frazier would probably have stopped Huck too.

Frazier would never be able to beat Huck, get real!

Ali might be able to beat Huck but certainly not stop him. I kind of doubt it though, but that's an opinion.

How about light punching cruiserweight Steve Cunningham?

Do you think he could stop the great Marco Huck?

Very funny. Except Ali never stopped a decent opponent in 50+ fights of boxing. I just can't see how anybody could reash that conclusion when he never scored a single proper KO against a relevant opponent ever.

As for Frazier, Cunningham is obviously a league apart from Joe isn't he in the skills, speed and athletic department.

If Steve Cunningham can stop Huck then so can any of the past heavyweight greats. Cunningham was 192lbs when he stopped Huck and as everyone keeps pointing out, he's not even a puncher!

Also, Ali never KO'd anyone?

Err... Foreman?

Foreman went on to fight modern heavyweights in the Nineties and never got stopped. That includes a young Briggs and Holyfield.



What a fucking idiot you are

Ali vs Foreman was not a proper KO, Ali hit him with shots I could withstand. Foreman punched himself out.

Bad example

Max now claims he could have taken the greatest heavyweight boxers punches.

Your post get more extreme by the day.

its so difficult to rate this HW era because of all the cheating

provetkin was beaten up by wlad but it wasnt boxing, wlad should have been dq'd by the end of round 1

so really we dont know who would win in a boxing fight between the two

biggest black mark on provetkins record is the huck fight

Povetkin is a decent fighter but Wlad held on for dear life and spoilt the fight when he did not have to as he has all the advantages that god gave him. It was appalling.

How Huck fought a close fight with Povetkin was amazing. I put it down to Huck being better than I thought he was.

povetkin messed up his conditioning in that fight badly he was totally exhausted halfway through the fight. Povetkin seems to be back to normal now, not that he is ever superfit but he was cleary out of energy very early on in the huck fight, I think survivng 12 rounds or wrestling with wladimir shows he is fitter than he showed in the huck fight. In my opinion povetkin underestimated huck a lot(and huck was pretty good in that fight) and was in poor condition for the fight, it happens every so often, lewis underestimated rahman and got ko'd and so on, boxers get it wrong every so often..


Huck would make a great addition to the heavyweight ranks I think, he probably wouldn't end up as champion but his fights would be great fun to watch :S
