    Frankly, I was never sooo impressed by Povetkin. Of course, he is a very good fighter but also not one of the big and great heavyweights ala Lennox Lewis. I think Louis can handle him and wins via knockout.

    Neither was I at the time, but he grew on me gradually. He remained solid and in contention for a long while.

    Povetkin went life and death with guys like Marco huck and David Price. He seems to be a notch below Louis in overall ability.

    Prime Louis lost to Schmeling. He is a notch below Arreola.

    I like this. It's like one of those Bond movies that immediately opens with an explosion.

    Arreola wouldn't make it as a sparring partner for Schmeling.

    If you're going to troll, at least say something that slightly makes sense.

    More like a firecracker in a wet dark cave.

    His agenda and tactics are painfully obvious and tiresome.
