    I promise you.. Team Povetkin will try and spin this like its Wlads fault... kinda like Booth did with the 100% UK money:hey:stir

    Its the IBF that dropped Povetkin... Not wlad or his team.... so they can say all they want but people know the truth and so does the IBF

    (Manager).......*Alex, I think you should try acting*

    (Trainer)...........*No, I think he'd be a good singer*

    (Promoter)..............*Now that we've got the Wlad beating canceled, let's keep the pro boxer thing going!*

    Povetkin will never live this down in my eyes. :-(

    Wlad will KO Peter this time. I believe he'll get it done inside 8. I strongly believe the Pac-Floyd delay is just posturing from both camps. Neither guy is afraid to get in there with the other. But Haye and Povetkin just don't want any parts of Wlad, whatsoever.

    Let's see if Povetkin's camp issues a statement now that Wlad is all set and ready to go with the Peter fight. He's going to pull another Haye tactic. Watch and see guys. :-((

    At least they found out in time to get a known replacement in there.

    You have to keep in mind that Peter didn't know what it was like to be hit by a Klitschko before he fought Wlad the first time. Ever since he fought Wlad in '05, he hasn't had that same fire or intensity. Wladimir psychologically ruined Samuel Peter in my opinion. On the other hand, Wlad went down 3 times, but those built his confidence in the end. Boxing is like that sometimes.

    When he was WBC champ, Samuel was not looking forward to getting in there with a Vitali Klitschko that was coming off a 4yr layoff. And while he's no coward, Peter will still be a lot less eager going there with Wlad this time around, compared to their first bout. Wlad can authoritatively get him out of there this time.

    EDIT: Mad respect to ya FourtyOunce, for being a true ride or die fan. :good:good

    IMO thats exactly why they pulled Povetkin. IBF has been waiting a LONG time to get paid sanctioning fees on the HW mand fight. They have had enough BS from team Povetkin

    I don't get it. Povetkin has spent years ad******g his style to fit Wlad and now it's off? Talk about a waste of effort.

    I am very disappointed with Povetkin. I was looking forward to their fight. It had been long time coming.

    pov and haye is a good fight. the first two people i meant in "guys" was haye and solis. that is just because he has not beat them yet, not because i think they have a better chance of winning. however, i do think haye is more likely than peter to beat wlad. I also wouldn't mind wlad knocking out valuev; mainly because i just would really like to see someone knock valuev out before he stops fighting. but like i said, peter is not a bad choice since pov pucked out.

    It wasn't that great of a fight to begin with Peter is just as good.
