Huck, 27, figures to beat Povetkin without too many problems and then immediately get a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers. Huck sees the second brother falling in line for him once he beats the first Klitschko brother in a revenge of the brother type scenario.
According to fightnews.com, Huck sees Alexander as little more than a bump in the road for him on his way to the Klitschko brothers.

Huck has no idea why Povetkin has stepped it up to face one of the Klitschko brothers in the past, as he would have faced them a long time ago had he been fighting at heavyweight his entire career. Huck says he won’t wait around and waste his chance once he beats Povetkin. He’s going to immediately set up a fight with whichever Klitschko brother he can get in the ring and then go from there to the next Klitschko.

Huck has put on weight and will likely be tipping the scales over 230lbs for the fight. He says the added weight will bring him more power and not affect his hand speed any. The only question that you have to ask about Huck is whether he can take a heavyweight punch. Povetkin likes to throw lots of punches and Huck may not be ready for that.
