Povetkin has terrible skills. His life may be in jeopardy against Klitschko.

    What the hell is this guy thinking? Klitschko is the absolute worst matchup possible for Povetkin.

    Povetkin is a guy who has no lateral mobility, stands straight up, doesn't move his head or bend at the waist, isn't a puncher, has terrible footspeed, is undersized, and stands right in front of his opponent.

    Povetkin may not even be able to touch Klitschko at all in this fight.

    His lack of mobility and agility will make him get hit every time he approaches Klitschko. Klitschko's accuracy may be the best we've ever seen in this fight.

    While I understand that Povetkin is the mandatory, this is a terrible fight because even if Potetkin does manage to close the distance, he lacks the power to capitalize.

    Klitschko needs to get Haye in the ring. This fight is a farce.

    You really have a hate for Povetkin almost as great as you do for PBF. What's your beef with Povetkin?

    Haye will not fight Wlad. So Wlad had to fight his mandatory.

    The offer is out to Haye. If haye wont step up, what is Wlad supposed to do?

    Povetkin is Mand. Wlad doesnt have a choice here. Wlad will KO povetkin and move onto the next guy.

    :lol:

    PBF has ridiculous skills. My only beef with PBF was that he ducked Margarito.

    After fighting Mosley, I have no beef. He is easily the best fighter in the game, and he isn't duckin opponents like he was before.

    Besides, I'm just callin out the facts.

    I don't have anything against Povetkin, I just call it like I see it.

    The guy has stamina and a good chin.

    That's it.

    And I agree that Haye needs to step up.

    I don't understand why he's hesitating.

    I agree with this. Povetkin is about to become a pizza faced loser...

    I like Povetkin. He seems to be a humble and respectful guy. But he loses this one badly. Wlad by wide UD or late TKO.

    the best part is going to be in between rounds when Povetkin's face looks like a busted tomato (he bruises and cuts easy) and Atlas is trying to will him to victory with his idiotic speeches. :lol::rofl:patsch

    Povetkin is one of the most skilled HW at the moment and he has definitely more skills than Haye
