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
