Rahman v Povetkin

[Beanz]

[QUOTE=Mctaggert;1101614]

Povetkin would beat prime rahman.

Nah, not a chance, I hate Rahman but he has beaten way better fighters than Povetkin in his prime.

Lol that makes it look like I said the complete opposite of what I actually said. In reality Povetkin would struggle with a bowl of ramen noodles.

We're gunna have to disagree on povetkin, As i said: A multiple gold medallist, still undefeated, yet to taste canvas, consistantly fought world class fighters (unlike the americans who are yet to fight anyone meaningful!) beat camarelle numerous times as an amateur!

Rahmans claim to fame is his flash KO of lewis (lewis made easy work of him 2nd time round) and stopping sanders after being beaten the snot out of! Typical sanders, ill conditioned and gassed! I don't really see it as he beat lewis therefore he has an automatic right to be favourite vs povetkin in a prime for prime scenario...by that logic buster douglas and brewster would beat him too! In reality they wouldn't!

Povetkin has only yet looked vulnerable vs huck (who is a very good and durable operator anyway! most of hucks opponents look bad against him and he is rarely in a boring fight!) However povetkin was trainerless in that fight yet he still won! Kosty tszyu is now preparing povetkin and he looked back on form last night, in truth only a handful of Hw's in the world would beat povetkin and 2 of those are called klitschko! With regards to wlad i think the fight is gunna happen now...

Povetkin: I would like to fight Klitschko

I like povetkin he's cool but he has some huge weaknesses, wladimir will eat him alive if they ever fight, povetkin looks to be a fairly tough guy but he is so easy to hit with jabs and just about anything and his reach is short, I think haye would have an easy time with him too.. Povetkin is quite skilled though but his stamina is also terrible

wladimir will eat him alive

He'l beat him yes but contrary to popular belief he won't walk through him! Not a 100% fully motivated povetkin! Everyone predicted manny would walk through marquez 3rd time round except me (albeit on another forum!) but he didn't! Povetkin will arguably be wlad's best opponent (top 3 at least!) and it's a fight that should be made...its a natural! Bit like Byrd v Lewis was circa early 00's! Yes wlad will win but he rarely ever get's out of 1st gear so he never really eats ppl alive does he! I think hooking up with tszyu will be a good thing for povetkin too!

I think haye would have an easy time with him too..

People overrate haye IMO, Povetkin would do a better job on valuev and he'd certainly beat chisora! Take haye's power away and he really is not that exceptional....Haye has stamina issues too! Interesting fight which you would have to just give the edge to haye because of his explosive power!

well call it whatever you want but i cant see povetkin lasting more than 6 rounds v wlad, he's just so easy to hit and after a couple of rounds of wladimir not missing his jab he would just start landing the right and after a few rounds of that povetkin would be down...

haye isn't great but he has quick hands a long reach and a lot of power I once again povetkins inability to dodge would land him in big trouble here
