Povetkin's "draw" (should have been a win) against Hunter is much better than Ortiz being KOed by Wilder.

Ortiz faded in the mid-rounds against Wilder, while Povetkin came on in the late rounds against Hunter, who looked like a beaten man the last couple of rounds.

I'd sooner see Povetkin vs. Ortiz (old vs. old, a fair fight) than prime Whyte against old Povetkin. I'm quite sure Povetkin would win by KO in rounds 7 to 12.

Povetkin vs Ortiz would be entertaining and people would probably be split in their predictions. I wouldn't count out Ortiz and his power. Just 'cause he got KO'ed twice by Wilder doesn't mean he's incapable of beating an old Povetkin.
