    The way Povetkin fought against Estrada, it makes me laugh that most here thought he had a chance vs either Klitschko brothers. And i don't want to here The long layoff excuse cause Povetkin look bad vs Bryd ( it took him 11th freaking round to tko a shot no punch Bryd) and look bad vs Chambers who barely survive vs a fat 265 pound Peter.

    Povetkin is very lucky that Estrada punch is not close to Vitali or Wlad punch cause he'll be ko badly.

    Now I understand why a shot Holyfield keeps hanging around. He can't believe how pathetic and weak the division has become. He's just too shot at this point, but I understand now why he keeps trying to win another title.

    I don't think Holyfield have a shot vs Povetkin or Haye. No way in hell a shot 46 years old Holyfield have a shot to beat either Klitschkos.

    In the chin part i would agree but i don't know who has a better shot. Maybe Haye. I could see Haye ko Estrada in 6 Cause Haye is quicker and he won't worry with Estrada 3 ko record punch.

    I had the Chambers-Povetkin fight about even going into the 6th, and then Chambers fat black ass got tired.

    Chambers also caught Povetkin several with the counter right, stunned him a bit as well.

    Wlad lands a straight right flush, its lights out.

    Povetkin has yet to show any real the ability to back up any "bad intentions" he may have towards his (better) opponents. Perhaps he's been rushed, perhaps he's just not that good.

    He would be very, very lucky to survive to the final bell against Wlad (and it would only be if Wlad "allowed it" by fighting a tentative fight). Vitali would probably beat Povetkin into retirement.

    I'd like to see Povetkin fight against someone with a real punch before he fights a Klitschko. His last few opponents (which are his best) don't have much of a K.O. punch between. He should fight Arreola first, then take on a Klitschko if he wins. I just don't think that Povetkin or Chambers are really "deserving" of a title shot (except against Valuev!). If either beat Valuev they should get a title shot to allow unification.
