@@somah1470 Perez beat Ortiz when they last fought in the amateurs in Cuba. Ortiz is arguably better. But it is a debate. Perez has attributes that Ortiz doesn't and Ortiz has attributes that Ortiz doesn't.
@@benlowe578 Amatteur boxing is other type. In that time the amateurs could fight with headgear therefore the power didn't count so much than in the pro boxing. Ortiz is very special fighter because he was technically very good and very powerfull same time
+Giselle X The substance he was taking when this fight took place was legal, not sure how you come up with cheater here. Perez's mentality played a lot more in this loss and his loss to Jennings, than his lack of skill. Perez took bombs in his fight with Mago and never once waivered, here one right hand and he is out.
+sinusbradycardia This man is a scum bag piece of shit. He's a cheater and a liar and a poor excuse for a boxer. To take a banned substance when you could possibly kill someone in the ring is deplorable. For you to defend that is sickening
Damn, you're ridiculous. Your name and your one-sentence biography is pitiful as well --- but it has to be assumed that what you stated is in direct correlation with what is already established.
+james smith this was payback for when the refs let Perez give Russian heavyweight Abdusalamov recieve brain damage from Perez. Povetkin looked like he seriously wanted to murder Perez this fight and didn't want it over so quickly.
Love Povetkin a true heavyweight great of the last 20 years and future hall of famer, as well as the single greatest Heavyweight boxer in Russian history to date!.
@@joeblough261 I admit could be bit biased here im obviously a big fan of the dude, the steroid thing is fair but these days shit what can you do you either gotta have a zero tolerance policy even as a fan and the second any fighter gets caught one single time consider all there wins./career invalid ya know, or simply consider the particular fight in question they did get popped for invalid and scratch that from there credentials/resume ya know what I mean? cause then wed also have to consider Holyfield and Mosley and Jones jr etc. entire careers invalid to ya know, and as I'm sure you know people sure pick and choose when it comes to this crap but I get it I do its a fair point, was really looking forward to Povetkin vs Wilder to damnit but Povetkin screwed that up with that failed test, that all aside however my point was overall he has an excellent very above average resume, and that not every hall of famer is an all time great elite ya know, in my opinion Povetkin is a mid tier type of hall of famer.
Povietkin should be the mandatory for Wilder. If not, he should fight Jennings or Thompson, then Wilder. I think Povietkin has the potential to knock Wilder out tbh.
Bill Patrick Jones Agreed on everything you said. Haye vs Povietkin would be a hell of a fight, wouldn't it? I think Haye and Povietkin both have a good chance at taking Wilder's belt, but one thing in the Heavyweight division will stand true: Klitschko is king. I want him to unify those belts!
+GetSchanked Wilder should be the mandatory for Klitschko. Povetkin should be the mandatory for the winner of Wilder/Klitschko. The champions should fight each other first.
+GetSchanked , Wilder has serious knocking ability too. Povetkin is good but wilder is not a bum like perez. Povetkin is short and lower reach than wilder. I don't think wilder will let him inside. Don't be over excited here. Wilder is not that easy as you think.
Nah man Povetkin was never faster then Wilder like ever not even, he is a better boxer though overall for sure. And his hand speed is solid and good, but equal let alone faster then Wilders? nah man thats just blatant objectively not the case. Povetkin was the man though, 3rd best heavyweight since 2000, likely will be 4th best maybe 5th by the time Joshua and Fury's careers wind down in the end but still thats amazing, Povetkins got a damn fine legacy super stacked resume and his legacy is secure!.
barry onefull No, WBC are being a bunch of punks and letting Wilder dodge Povetkin to get their belt a payday fight with Klitchko/Fury winner. Whatever gets the money and keeps their paper champ on top
+Matt Brozie Well the fight with Klitschko is better for everyone including the fans. Real heavyweight world champion vs. new world champion. Glad needs to unify those belts. You're right though, the only way Povietkin can get the belt is by beating Wilder because he has no chance against Klitschko.
Wish the fight with Wilder happened. He certainly has the power to knock anyone out. Shame about the roids though. Was that Manual Charr in the audience?
Povetkin always looked a decent boxer without a massive punch (at top level), gets beat up by Klitschko then magically becomes a knockout artists before getting caught on roids.
allfasten. what the fuck are you talking about Payback 4 mago . you know that my Perez was fucked up in his hair too same that fight he is still not the same person since that happened . talking to the same that you're fighting with
After that fight Perez was never the same, it fucked him up too. No one wants to put someone in a coma over a sporting event. Anyone who followed that whole deal knows it fucked him up and if anything made him gun shy.
Andy Herz he didn't. Prescription drugs perfectly legal where he lives. It came pretty handy to that fraud wilder, povetkin would have knocked him spark out in 2 rounds.
procioneintubato Well it wasn't legal as otherwise he wouldn't have been banned. Just because something is legal in one country, doesn't mean it's legal globally.
+Devout Sceptic Once again, he tested positive for a substance that was banned in Jan. and it's not roids. It is vasodilator not a steroid. But go on believing that.
