    Had Povetkin been floored before, amateur or pro? I have never found an account of such happening. Wlad ****ed him up with quick hook. That was some seriously impressive power.

    Great fight. KInda like his brother, I see Vlad winning the first few rounds, but Lewis catching him and flattening him -dramatically, in rag doll fashion - somewhere around the 5th or 6th.

    That tiny little arm punch Wlad threw sent Povetkin sprawling half way across the ring. Scary power.

    Great power. Same punch both ended the Austin fight and the Chambers fight in the 12th round.

    Calm down hot pants. It was a delayed reaction temple shot. Povetkin saw the distance despite a 6'6, 245 giant leaning all over his 6'1 frame more times than he threw punches.

    The total fear he had of an out of shape Povetkin and the manner he had to resort to beat him makes zero case for him beating any former great HW.

    Lewis knew there was nothing to Wlad and thats why Sanders was able to lay him out in two rounds after Lewis told him what to do.

    A single Lewis jab had the much tougher and durable Vitali on Bambi legs. The moment Lewis and Wlad come together after an exchange is the moment you will see Wlad drop like a two tonne sack.

    And that is exactly what would happen between LL and Wlad.

    Lennox would come out in Golota/Ruddock/Grant mode and take out the reluctant warrior before he could get his cautious safety first act going.

    Haye out Wladed Wlad ! He **** himself and Wlad did not have the nuts to go after him and take advantage of the fact.
    result SMELLAROO!


    Haye is a blown up lvy who loses weight between fights.
    Ruddock has shoulders as wide as a barn door he is a natural big heavyweight by any standards, one with top line power. Wlad would be filling his trunks against him.

    Utter crap. Haye was a LHW at 18 years old. At 21 years of age, he was fighting as a HW as in amatuer. He cut weight to make Cruiser and on fight night was coming in well over 200 lbs.

    Ruddock is broader but could have made cruiser at a comparable age. He was only 203 for the Jaco fight. Ruddock filled out more and clearly a more naturally bulkier guy than Haye.

    I would say they both hit very hard and have visually impressive power. I think Haye has the best knockout win between them over the durable Chisora. While Ruddock has the scariest over the washed up Dokes.

    I agree with this 100%. I don't think this would even be close.

    That is your opinion ,as gracefully put as ever ,why don't we just give each other a miss ? I expect you are as eager to hear my opinion as I am yours:tired

    Ruddock was 20 years old when he fought Jaco at 203'5 lbs, for the last 15 years of his career he only once scaled less than 210, and usuallly weighed in between 220 and 238lbs for his debut he was 183 lbs at 17years old.

    At 27 Haye scaled 198lbs
    At a comparable age ie 27 ,Ruddock scaled 230lbs ,238lbs ,and 240lbs

    Ruddock has 5 inches on Haye in the chest! 47",and 49" expanded he is a real heavyweight. Haye is a manufactured one with the assistance of God knows what .
    Haye scaled 215 for his fight with Valuev.
    Ruddock 238lbs for his with Tyson. That's 23lbs of extra muscle.

    You are letting your dislike of me cloud your judgement.

    No, you don't get a pass for calling Haye a LHW. That is just stupid. He was 201 lbs against Solis at 21 years of age. Ruddock was 203 lbs at 21 years of age against Jaco. Not 20. Haye drained to make cruiser, he was no LHW.

    Yes. As I pointed out Ruddock, did fill in alot more as he got older and was broader. But that doesn't make a 200+ lb man who cut weight to make crusier a bulked up LHW. Your letting your hatred of Wlad cloud your logic.

    Incorrect. Haye was a light heavy as an amateur.

    He only fought at Heavy twice in the ams where he went 1-1.

    Haye stated many , many times he has to constantly eat huge meals to make the Heavy weight limit.

    I should have said Cruiser, don't hate Wlad I think he is a gentleman. I wouldnt pay a shilling to watch him fight though.
