Alexander Povetkin- the best of the best!

[Master]

Alexander Povetkin would be top contender in the 90's. He would have been a titlist. He would have fought on equal footing with Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield and provided serious competition for Lennox Lewis.

Alexander Povetkin would have been the best opponent Mike Tyson ever faced in the 1980's, and would have beaten Larry Holmes soundly imo.

Alexander Povetkin would have been undisputed champion from the 1970's backwards virtually unchallenged.

The same Alexander Povetkin who couldn't stop a cruiserweight?

The same cruiserweight that Steve Cunningham stopped?

Dopey...

Simple...

Aside from your triangle theory being irrelevant in the real world...

It's only when you view Steve Cunningham and MArco Huck as what in previous times WERE REAL HW's, and only when you view Marco Huck and Steve Cunningham's records as what would then have been considered real HW records and only when you view Huck and Cunningham themselves as probably better than anything else in previous eras themselves, does everything magically fall into place and Povetkin is to be considered on his proper merits.

Povetkin will be considered on his proper merits which is what he achieves in his life time not anyone elses. If he does not achieve much now then you can not say he would have been champion in 1990 unless you have a delorean.
