Povetkin has done pretty good in the past, he beat byrd when he was still allright and gave eddie chambers his first defeat before povetkin had 15 fights.. I think they moved him into the number 1 spot too soon and made him look stupid by dodging the wladimir fight for so long but povetkin has had some good wins and performances over his career, his fight v huck was probably his worst though when he looked exhausted halfway through the fight, not sure what was going on there(I had him winning that by 1 round).. He does seem to be pretty easy to hit with the jab though, I was surprised wladimir didnt pick him off more than he did..
I dont know why most fans dont rate povetkin highly he has a good career and a very good amateur career, It could be argued that he is wlads best victory
I didnt think he'd have the power to ko charr but just shows what I know.. good comeback victory, charr had loads of weird wbc belts so now povetkin should be in their top ten and on his way to an eliminator fight... I think it will be v haye, there was talk of haye v povetkin for the wba crap belt a couple of years ago so that could be rekindled..
