    Again . . . . :|:|:|

    Ruiz was a mandatory - you know, like the mandatories you're so quick to defend when Wlad has them. Like fighting Tony Thompson again . . .

    I never once defended the Harrison fight, so again - you fail.

    And again, thanks for this: "yet you're all in tears that Haye doesn't get another gift shot at them."

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Quality. Who has been moaning that they want Haye to get a shot at Povetkin? Erm, no one.

    Only thing people are bothered about is Berndt Boente not allowing Vitali to fight Haye after he spent a year after the Wlad fight calling him out, and then told them to fight Chisora to make the fight, and then disappeared off the face of the Earth.

    Too funny.

    :patsch It is obvious that I talk about the past! Because I talked about his mandatory fight against Ruiz! I mean how did Ruiz get mandatory? He was dead for two years! Did NOTHING! Yet Haye was given an easy peasy MANDATORY fight! Also his fight against Audley was one of the worst title defenes ever! It was clear as **** that Audley against Haye would be a **** ass fight. Yet they fought because it was a good money fight.
    All what I want to say is thats just heavyweight boxing today. Nobody wants to take high risks only if he has to. (Wladimir when he faces mandatories). They all just look at the money! I have the feeling that it was more about the legacy in the past!
    Just look at Povetkin! He already had TWO chances to fight his biggest fight of his live. What did he do? He pissed out because Sauerland was not happy that K2 won the purse bid. Now they speculate that they win the purse bid and they hope that WLadimir give shis belt away because Wladimir dont want to fight at ARD, because he would make much less money there.
    Now Wladimir dont wants to fight Povetkin he wants to have another easy money fight! And he wants to have the Povetkin fight in summer where he can make much more money. Also I think it is also a revenge move because Povetkin already pissed out twice so he wants to let Povetkin wait for his shot.

    Povetkin can do what ever he wants. Till now I really doubt that Povetkin wants to face Wladimir. Sauerland wont let him fight at RTL. If they lose the purse bid again (which they will do against big money K2) they will **** out of the fight! They cry about the given terms from K2 again! Even abou a rematch clause...
    This Joe Hanks wont win against Povetkin in germany anyway.

    Well, it was supposed to be Valuev vs Ruiz - but they paid Ruiz money to step aside on the grounds he gets to fight the winner of the fight.

    other than that you seem to agree with me.

    The HW division is full of guys who want to fight the easiest fights out there for the most money. Doesn't matter if it's Wlad, Vitali, Povetkin, Haye . . .

    They're all at it.

    I mean Ruiz already lost twice against Valuev before Haye wanted to fight Valuev... There where plans for a third fight although he lost twice before? Then Ruiz steped aside... but why did he wait two years before he fought Haye? Just getting older and more ****?
    Well this story is ****ed up and is very sad if true... just shows you what heavyweight boxing is about today.

    For Povetkin I have to say he can fight anybody... when its not Wladimir I wont care. He looked **** in the past. And till now I doubt that Sauerland can deal with the fact that they will lose the purse bid although they believe they could win the purse bid this time. I think the purse bid will take place soon.

    He is more likely to fight the polish guy than Hanks

    Make it even wore. The russian hero losing on point in russia? I dont see it. Everybody who wants to win against Povetkin has to be much much better or has to knock him out.
    I doubt this Joe Hanks can do this

    Hanks is probably a tad better than Wawrzyk, the only good thing Povetkin can say afterwards is "look, I beat a young, hungry and udefeated fighter after giving him his chance" if he fights either

    People? You mean specifically Brittards like you. Go on, let the tears flow, write an angry letter to Bernd, ***** and moan some more, play some XBOX, whatever you gotta do to get through the day.....

    You were at times amusing in the Bute threads, now you're just boring, predictable and monotonous. I see the butthurt has taken its toll on you.

    No offense to Hanks but he seems to have clubfighter level skills. No one really knows about his speed and power- he does not have enough movement to display his speed and his power has never been tested against a live body.

    Povetkin's career has degenerated into a complete joke.

    The good thing is Wlad will put him out of his misery by August by knocking the living daylights out of him.

    Fights a warm up fight before the most eagerly anticipated HW fight since Lewis Tyson = "career has degenerated into a complete joke".

    Wlad would use that block head as a punch bag easy! Povetkin's face would be red like a baboon's ass and he would quit in 6 rounds!
