    Povetkin is looking for a comeback,Solis is looking for someone worth to fight...HW division is in crisis...they are 2 young talented prospects...nobody want them fighting bums...can they work it out?
    No talking about who beats who...just make it happen!

    It would be one of the most interesting boxing fights in the HW division. Both great amatures, very skilled. I would favor Povetkin, he is in better shape.

    If they fight I bet my money on Solis. He is more talented but if he steps into the ring above 260 or even over 250 he could be in trouble. He should be 240 MAX if he wants to be a serious fighter.

    I'm not sure I would call a 31 year old and 30 year old with extensive amateur backgrounds "young" by any stretch. Both these guys won't fight each other cuz it could derail their title shot. They could just pick easier opponnents, then duck the K Bros.

    Recent history considered, I doubt Povetkin gets back in the ring with a top level contender anytime soon. My money's on Michael Grant as a next opponent.

    Solis has already called Vitali out so I don't get this. Povetkin did back out of a fight and not over financial reasons or an injury so I'll give you that one.

    Solis wins if he doesn't come in as a fat ****.

    If Solis can lose about 20 lbs then I'd favor him, but I see him coming in at 260.

    Good post.. Solis got skills,... i have been too hard for Solis just because I am ****in distapointed with him coming so out of shape..:fire

    if just Solis comes in shape I think he might beat Povetkin and possible TKO. I dont know about Povetkin's chin...:think

    Yeah, me too.

    Honestly if I ever meet him I want to ask him what possable reason he has for coming in at 250+.

    This guy should be 235 max.

    From what I've seen of Solis when focused and in shape he's the kind of talent that can put a serious dent in the HW division.
    That said I'll put my money on Arreola coming in-shape before Solis does.

    Povetkin takes the win. Fight won't happen, though.
