3 Potential Heavyweight Clashes this Year - Who wins? Nikolai Valuev vs David Haye - 07 November 2009 (possibly in Germany) Valuev and Haye have signed on the dotted line in a clash for the WBA Heavyweight Title held by Valuev. Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin Povetkin is going to be trained by Teddy Atlas and probably have a warm-up first but as Wlad's No.1 contender he is up next for the Ukrainian. Wlad is the IBF and WBO Champion. Vitali Klitschko vs Chris Arreola The elder Klitschko is in negotiations to make a voluntary defense against America's Heavyweight hope Arreola. Vitali's WBC belt will be on the line. ---------- All three fights are likely to take place this year and would certainly make it a Great Year for a division that has been in the doldrums. Who wins?
1.I Think and Hope David Haye But Iam not sure he Talks so much^^ 2. Wladimir By UD 3. Vitali By Knockout
Here are my predictions: 1. Fight canceled, Haye "injured". 2. Fight canceled, Povetkin pulls out, gets IBF extension for another tuneup. 3. Fight canceled, Vitali pulls out, knee injury. Retires before mandatory March 2010. Then, Lennox Lewis comes back and fights Arreola for vacant WBC belt.
I'm going for Haye to fell the Giant, Povetkin to stop Wlad and Vitali to stop Arreola in a brawl. So Haye Povetkin Klitschko I'm gonna stick with Povetkin as I have watched his career grow from the 1st steps and with Teddy Atlas training him and bringing something extra to his game, then, I see him upsetting the jab of Wlad and once that is gone there is nothing there-just a chin waiting to be broken. I can see Arreola winning but the Walker fight sent alarm bells out - especially as Travis got Ko'd again recently (and early). Vitali is like an old champ, who while on the slide still does things good enough against the right opponents. Still Vitali for me but if Arreola is there after 6 rounds then it could be good night Klitschko. As for young David?, well he is against "The Beast" a man that Vitali won't fight. Pick and move is the plan abit similar to what Chagaev did only Haye is throwing those H-Bombs. Timber big fella Timber.
