Alexander Povetkin= He won tonight again by Ko, he is now 12-0-10Ko's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdd5yWLYL1U

I don't know much about him except what I have read.And I found that he is a force to be reckoned with.His pro record is a reflection of whats to come as well as his amateur record.(From Wikipedia)His amateur record is 132 wins and 7 defeats, all of which he avenged. That says it all.

It don't take nostradamus to predict this mans future.

There's been a lot of talk about a dennis boytsov being "the next tyson" (like every other moderately powerful puncher that entered the sport since the early 90's). So far he's been a lot like tyson fighting jobber after jobber but he's winning those fights by early ko so who knows.

Bermane Stiverne looks a good heavyweight pospect

As for Povetkin.. i dont know to much but records dont lie, this guy could be a force to be reckoned with

I really think that Povetkin is the next big thing. I don't see any top young prospect having his skills, this guy would destruct them. he has a lot of experience in amateurs, he knows how to fight and he can crack with both hands, has good stamina, has good techniques, combos...really a good good one prospect. My only concern is that he's working very hard during sparring and training sessions....something he won't do in the next 4 years....

Boystov, on his side, is also a good one, but he has never been tested so far, he crushes opponents thanks to his speed and strength, but let's put him agaisnt someone who can find back...

CC!

Doesn't look too bad. Atleast he ain't a hug and slug kinda guy.

Records do lie in boxing.

I will say hes improved since the last time out I saw him.

Heres the finishing blows to his last fight from last week. I didn't see this many punches from him before....

From that little bit they showed, it looks like he has problems slipping jabs.

He looks too small for Klitschko. Open to a straight right.

Looks VERY exciting, I like him. Hardly see heavyweights (these days) with that amount of explosion and diversity in combinations, let alone a nice upper-cut.

Comparisions to heavyweight version of Ricky Hatton are immenent. Although I don't know enough about him to say that.

He looks good, hopefully, with his style he can harness it to world class pro style, and make for good scraps at the boring division.

If he's on ESPN or HBO soon, I'll look forward to his fights now. Thanks cc to whom started this post.
