    your thoughts????....i think fighting sykes is a waste of time.....he should fight a way past prime golota......he resembles wlad more than sykes.......is 16 fights enough??? i dont think so.....rumour has is povetkin is not having easy sparring sessions with lary donald and jameel mcline,,,,.........i dont think after (sykes bout) 16 pro fights is enough to beat wlad(ps i cant stand wlad)..........maybe in 2 years...wlad will be 34 years of age and on the decline......ANYWAY MY THOUGHTS ALEXANDER IS BEING BROUGHT ALONG TOO QUICKLY TOO FIGHT WLAD......

    If a guy is ready he should be stuck in - too many guys are held back way too long and have too many miles on the clock by the time they are stepped forward.

    I haven't seen much of him - but there are glaring weaknesses in Wlad currently, someone with speed (both footwork and hands) would have him in serious bother.

    Given that he won every round of a fight against Donald on all three cards, and that Mcline is not even at Donald's level, I seriously doubt these rumors.
