Povetkin knocks out The Duke in the mid rounds. Outboxes him and then batters him.

I could see The Duke winning this.

Beyond the big left hook, he had impressive resilience and determination.

Vaulin was no Povetkin, but the way Morrison came back in that fight -- finding a way to win after being completely out-boxed and outperformed for 4 rounds -- I can never forget. Ditto the Joe Hipp fight.

He also came back against Carl Williams.

Good point. Against Ruddock too, right?

Pinklon, the Truth, and Ruddock were on the downslide when Morrison kayoed them. Povetkin stops him in about 7.

Well, it may be so, although the Ruddock fight was sorta more back-and-forth, without critical downfalls for both fighters.
