Dominant.
I think povetkin has done pretty good for himself, he beat byrd although this was towards the end of byrds career he gave eddie chambers his first defeat. He had a great fight v huck, that was very close though, he ko'd the unbeated polish fellow early on(I dont know how to spell their names :S) he also had a fairly good win v chagaev and since losing to wlad he has gone on to have two pretty good and entertaining wins with 2 good kos..
Wlad has been dominant but he will always go down as someone who stunk out the joint when it REALLY mattered.
I still think if he put on a show vs Ibragimov in MSG when a lot of eyes were tuned in, he could have rekindled a lot of interest in the HW division in the States. Of course the fight was a complete abortion. Same with the Haye showdown.
Holmes has him tied.
Ray Mercer (18-0)
Carl Williams (16-0)
David Bey (14-0)
Marvis Frazier (10-0)
Scott Frank (20-0)
Tim Witherspoon (15-0)
Gerry Cooney (25-0)
Renaldo Snipes (22-0)
Leroy Jones (24-0)
Ossie Ocasio (13-0)
Kevin Isaac (2-0)
Wlad's opposition: 246-0 combined
Holmes' opposition: 179-0 combined
So I guess Wlad wins.
I have to agree. Floyd is boring as fuck, but at least he has the undefeated streak and the cocky personality that draws people in. Wlad has none of that to intrigue people, and people watch the HW division to see action, and when the most eyes are on him he just doesn't provide action.
