    Styles make fights.

    Peter actually has a chance to KO the inmobile Povetkin.

    You forgot to include "Peter by illegal blow" on the poll.

    Depends if Peter is hungry, Peter used to be dangerous before he became champ got some cash and got lazy.

    I am going to go with Peter because even when he is out of condition and lazy he's dangerous.

    Povetkin will slaughter Peter. (if the fight even happens)

    Too big of a skill difference between the two.

    May well be so, but you're forgetting Povetkin has neither the punch to keep Peter at bay nor the agility to avoid him forever, and isn't that big to get the kind of size and reach advantage both Klitschkos had over Peter...

    Therefore I'd say Peter has a decent puncher's chance, me too can't see Peter getting UD over Povetkin, but on the other side me too can't see Povetkin getting KO over Peter either...

    I'd say it's much more even matchup then people seems to think... Let's just wait and see how it develops :)

    Difficult. If Peter is in the shape of the Wlad fight or better, he KOs Povetkin. Povetkin is not hard to find, and relying on his punch resistance is not a good idea against Peter. If Peter is even a little out of shape, Povetkin should take it.

    And "Peter by Povetkin retiring because of the sprained ankle while running around Peter and tripping over his own feet" would be a viable option too :rofl

    Pov's on points. Povetkin is a notoriously slow starter which will give the notoriously fast starting Sam Peter a bit of a jump on things. IF (big key here) Peter manages to get to Pov early, all bets are off because of the power and the leaky defense Povetkin possesses.

    That said, I figure Povetkin weathers a quick but merciless slaughter of fire from Sam Peter and takes this into the latter rounds. There, He has the advantage in better stamina, better technique, better mental prowess and all around better ability.

    :good I wouldn't count on it but i'd say he has a 30% chance.
