    I think that Povetkin will win the fight, but it wont be easy. What do you think?

    At this point I'll take Povetkin by decision.

    Povetkin will win easy.
    Cgagaev will go down before four! Everybody will see the power of a great combination puncher that Alexander is..........

    Povetkin has 15 KOes in 21 fights, he's undefeated. Chagaev has 17 KOes in 29 fights, he has lost 1 fight and has 1 draw. Chagaev has had better opposition, he fought Wlad (lost), Ruiz (won) and Valuev (won).

    He has power indeed. His next opponent will be Wlad if he gets past Chagaev. Could he cause Wlad problems?

    Povetkin has NO power. His volume punching (same combination every time - at least pre-Atlas) is enough to stop journeymen but he will never knock out a top50 HW with one or two punch/es.

    Old Povetkin wins on points due to superior workrate while Chagaev lands the more eyecatching shots. Not so sure about the new Povetkin - he may get knocked out if he decides to use "head movement" standing in front of Chagaev and not using his feet.

    Nontheless: Povetkin on points

    You have a good point. He is always volume punching. Thats the way he takes out his opponents. I'm not so sure about the "the new Povetkin", don't think that he has changed so much.

    Atlas defineatly changed his style against journeymen. We will see if he fights like this against top20 opposition, too.

    Throwing less punches, trying to improve defence / head movement, trying not to be as predictable as before...

    Will these changes make him a better fighter? I don't think so.
    He looked **** against journeymen trying to bob and weave... Javier Mora had no problems to land on him.

    He has become a little bit worse with Atlas. He should constantly improve when he has come this far in his career. He had a very good win against Chambers a couple of years ago.

    Chagaev had his hands full with Walker and looked like **** against Meehan.

    Povetkin UD

    Povetkin was considered as a threat to Klitschko! But this was a couple of years back, I think that he still has potential....

    The WBA wins, but other than that it is a massive failure as an event and so called title fight. Neither guy is gonna be relevant and niether will beat a Klitchko. Im not interested in ANY heavyweight that isnt either a warrior that comes in shape and gives 100% or a guy thats a legit threat to eather Klitchko.Chagaev and Povetkin are neither.
