After the Chambers fight, what will Povetkin do different against Wlad?

Nope

 

It's very simple - learn to bob and weave. Get that upper body and head moving on the way in, negate Wlad's jab somewhat and then work the body. But Povetkin's as average as average can be. Wlad will slaughter him.

 

I'm sure there is a very good reason Povetkin is very happy in being the mandantory without really having to fight Klitschko - usually when you become mandatory, you try to get the fight ASAP but Povetkin (or his trainer/management) knows very well about his chances against Klitschko, so he isn't anything near eager to step in the ring with him at last...

But Povetkin can't stay the mandatory forever, as a matter of fact I don't really understand how he managed to stay mandatory this long, but the time is running out for him - either he fights or he gives the position up, unless he plans to retire one day still being the mandatory?

 

Get another fight postponing injury? LOL

 

Ruslan Chagaev

 

In my younger and more vulnerable years, I had the impression that Povetkin might pose a threat to Wladimir Klitschko. I realize what a fool I was then.

 

Sounds good to say it that simply, but saying and doing are two diffenent things.



Its easy to say that these current opponents they keep dominating are B level, but think about it this way..........the greats of yester year were NEVER faced with the task that these current *B level* fighters are faced with................that of getting on the inside of someone as big AND skilled as the brothers are. So whose to say they could do it?

Getting inside of his and his brother's range is easier said than done. As Chagaev had the right plan, stuck to it, tried like hell to do, but just couldn't.

Never before has there been a fighter (two fighters) with such a big size advantage AND also possess great skill and power. Tyson never faced anyone with these attributes, nor did Holy. Lewis did, but he's 6 foot 5 himself, and, well, the outcome of that fight can be debated for years.............

Its easy to say how to do it, and quite another actually do it, and keep at it, when those shots start rattling your brain every time you try to merely *bob and weave your way in*. That is why I think Chagaev made the most commendable and impressive effort of anyone who Wlad has beaten. He kept pushing forward, stuck to his plan and kept trying to get inside and land that big shot...........but his body took too much punishment before he ever got it done.
