Hopefully he leaves with no regretkin

Ortiz is a decade older then Povetkin.

If he is he looks great for a 50yr old. I won’t take Rick Glaser word for it though

Mind boggling why people would want a top, proven HW to retire. But don't say the same about an unproven one like Ortiz that has beaten nobody.

Of those 2 fights; 1 will be a tune-up, and his final fight will be either introducing Usyk to the HW division or being a defence of the WBA regular belt for Miller. Povetkin's seen the Matchroom money and is planning his retirement fund with it.

Its common knowledge Ortiz is 48, he's talked previously of watch Ali live and we have his opponents for comparison. Povetkin was a young pup when he schooled him in the amateurs looks like king Kong hasn't improved much given his performances against Allen and Malik Scott which are his best wins in three years now ?

If you go back a bit further he had a win over a faded Tony Thompson (lost 3 of his last 6) and then his best Bryant Jennings (good win fair play). Before that more tomato cans than a Kwik Mart.

Povetkin's record looks top class ... go look .. probably one of the best in the division.

they literally never fought...it is amazing how ya'll run with that lie

But yeah.....Povetkin's similar to Ortiz....sure. Because Wilder...sure.

Sure Povetkin isn't similar to Ortiz. Ortiz is a bum compared to Povetkin, nothing similar about them.

Povetkin achieved nothing. He lost his biggest fights him and Ortiz are both cheaters but I thought this guy was in his 20s the way Joshua fans were talking

He's an Olympic gold medalist and had some BS world WBA world title and a couple decent wins, but still more than Ortiz. I'd say they're both dangerous but both old and a good fight if they came together.

I can agree with this. Just hard for me to give cheaters their props

Povetkin against Whyte, ortiz or Chisora would be perfect.
