This would be a good contest, Whyte is pretty good an we'll up for it just now and nearly ten years younger. I thought povetkin has been looking less vicious in his last three fights, for whatever reason wink wink :S... But he still gets a lot of power on his punches and mixes them up well, landed some good body shots on price. He also looked more ponderous to me. 38 might not be old for the really big guys but for a smaller fellow like povetkin who fights the way he does it certainly is old.

Whyte is a big fellow too, six foot four I think, so I would give him the edge due to size and youth.

Although I'm pretty sure povetkin team can tell Hearn to bugger off with Whyte, povetkin is right up there in the rankingand doesn't need to risk it, it would be brave from povetkin and if he takes it on well done to him!
