    I think this would be a good fight, if a fight with the K- Brothers cant happen then this one isnt far off being the next best thing

    I hope Teddy is still with Povetkin. Watching him and Booth go at it would be a good laugh in the build up.:yep
    Decent fight considering. If he wins I think it may be Wlad in July or more likely Vitali in Sept.

    This sounds a lot better than the other names that have had a mention.Its probably the best fight out there for him at the moment.I think this would satisfy most people.

    Povetkin isn't 'hard punching' Rob. Average punching at best. What he did have going for him was incredible work-rate and decent skills. Emphasize 'did'. Because what him and Chag both have in common is they look like they've seen better days. But maybe this is the motivation Povetkin needs.

    i really hope this does get announced soon.

    and it is a choice in a way,as haye decided chageav isnt good enough and worthy enough to get up and prepare to fight-so decided to fight in UK.

    wonder if chageav would have passed US boxing boards medicals?.

    hes picked povetkin to defend his title,undefeated,young but has the experience in top heavyweight opponents,good amatuer pedigree.

    but i suspect haye will win by tko by mid rounds.

    lol,their press conference will just them both agreeing how much they dislike wlads contracts!.

    wlad will look really bad for fighting chisora now,and vitali wont be thought of highly for beatin a fat cuban who cant knock out a cr^p old heavyweight.

    Atlas will tie Booth in knots.

    It will be like Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran all over again :hey

    lol,ide be so funny to see. booth was a boxer though for a while,had a 40-8 record i think,not sure he fought anyone good though.he got injured playing football and had to retire.

    i think booth and atlas will be pretty resectful,atlas with his cus type analysis on fights are genius.

    Prefer this fight to even adamek as that is essentially a CW fight and does nothing for his resume at HW

  14. When I see them walking towards the ring, I'll begin to believe there is a chance of this fight happening.

    I thought Povetkin would be tough, but the more i think about it i think Hayes power is that much better than it was at cw.

    i see povetkin getting badly hurt
