    Yes Povetkin looked like **** in his last fight, low work rate I wasnt impressed Arreola knocks him out.

    Povetkin is getting worse in every fight, He is getting fater, slower and less powerfull, i think Povetkin is now infected with the fat not motivation virus that are infecting the heavyweights. Not impresed with both of them.

    I think Arreola might stop Povetkin. Many won't agree with me but I consider Dimitrenko to be better than Povetkin.

    I think Povetkin will be sharper in his next fight, he had just come off a massive injury

    Yeah i agree. However i still don't know if he will beat Arreola even when at his sharpest.

    Povetkin can be quite easy to hit and whislt he is tough i don't know if he is tough enough to withstand Arreola's shots over 12 rounds.

    Povetkin does have decent skills for a heavyweight and he can be quick on his feet for someone who is basically a tubby, small heavyweight, so he would have to be at his absolute sharpest and use his brain to out box the relatively inexperienced Arreola.

    Tough one to call but it would be a good fight.

    I like Dimitrenko. He's tall, quick for his height, has decent power and a good shot selection from what i have seen of him.

    Any news on his next fight?

    I think Povetkin is receiving too much criticism for a guy who's coming off a big injury. I know he failed to impress in his last fight but i understand and he deserves some time to prove himself again once he's physically capable 100%.. Jeff mentioned that Dimitrenko is better.. Well he might be right about that, but we'll have to see..

    Povetkin would be a handful for Arreola..

    The thing is Pov has been fighting a lot of quick, slick type fighters like Byrd, Chambers and even Estrada had some moves. It's a lot more difficult to go to work on these guys compared to rubbish like Walker, and a fat old McCline.

    Nothing yet, but he wants Povetkin though I am not really sure what's going on with that.

    :rofl

    Jesus Christ.. do you guys even watch boxing? To pick Arreola over Povetkin you either have to know nothing about boxing or know nothing about the two fighters. Or there is that chance you're simply a dumb person.

    Povetkin on his worst night destroys Arreola coming in at 235. Come on, this is just silly. Ray Austin has more of a chance to beat Wlad than Arreola does of beating Povetkin. Arreola is not even a significant fighter at the top level of this era's HW's, which says a lot about how terrible he is.
