Alexander Povetkin vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[OH_RickNMorty]

Who would win if these two met in a ring, whilst in their prime.

Both are at a similar weight were they can still use the full extent of their skills and talent.

Who wins?!

[Onetimeonly]

I never watched it, but I think they fought in their primes or damn close to it.

Povetkin improved after Klitschko, when he teamed up with Ivan Kirpa, who remains his head coach until now. But I don't think, it would have given much more chances against prime Wlad.

i just dont see how you pick the guy who got 119-104d when this match actually happend, it perhaps could be true pov for a spell improved due to drugs after wlad, but hardly like he was so much better hed turn a 119-104 into a win

[Perseus]

Nothing would have changed.
Wlad was always going to dominate the extremely overrated Povetkin.

Improved after Wlad.............lmao.
So the pre Wlad version of Povetkin can't knockout tomato can Charr or Takam?
If he needed to improve to get those wins that is solid confirmation that he wasn't very good to begin with.

[jamamb]

did you watch his earlier career fights? he defo suddenly got much more stamina and i think power, i dont doubt that he stepped up his ped game

[Perseus]

........and I still say: lmao

That improvement enabled him to record less
than stellar wins over tomato can Charr, then Takam who is a guy that's just good enough to lose to every useful opponent he faces and a bunch of journeyman.
Yes, exactly the kind of wins that would lead one to believe he's going to beat a prime all time great
