Alexander Povetkin must fight Wladimir Klitschko by 27. february.

Any word on what Wlad will do if Manny isn't able to train anymore?

I think it would be the triple version of the WBA belt after beating Chagaev, Haye and Povetkin

 

Emanuel Steward will recover and Wlad will not think about the opposite.

Since the last fights Emanuel Steward was in camp for 3 weeks only, just only for tactics. So at the moment it will IMO no problem in camp for Wlad. Training camp just started yet.

 

it would not surprise me in the slightest if povotkin dosnt fight wlad by then.that the wba will strip wlad of his title...lol..just something they would do the moonbeams

 

Before Wlad fought Haye, it was a massive fight in which Haye had a very good chance of winning. After Wlad schooled Haye, the win is discredited as being a win over a mediocre opponent. I would bet Haye to beat Povetkin any day.

 

My prediction is that Vitali will retire, Arreola will fight Stiverne in the WBC title eliminator, the winner will fight whomever is the #1 contender and then Povetkin will fight the winner in a 'unification' battle. If Povetkin wins that, he can drop the WBA regular title and parade his WBC trinket around like it is worth something...

...and thereby avoiding a fight with Wladimir Klitschko like it t'were a plague.

 

manning..pov might have some similar names on his resume than wlad..

byrd was past it..
chagaev was inactive and rocked him to his bones and he isnt a huge puncher..
and chambers was winning untill he just stopped fighting

wlad batterd them all EASILY and in their primes may i add..

still its the biggest fight to be made in the hw division right now

 

Thank god

 

Nah, the beatdown will last a little longer than two rounds imo.

 

Well, at least Rahmans face was still recognizable.

Potvetkins momma won't be able to identify the body at the morgue when Wlad is done with him.

 

Byrd was about same level than in second Wlad fight.
Chagaev hadn’t fight live opponent in years before Wlad fight and no one just stop fighting.
It counts as Povetkins credit that he managed to change tide of the match after couple of hard rounds.
Good wins

 

Wlad his jab is like the right hand of most fighters...

Povetkin is an iron ducker though so he won't even be heard by Wlad.

 

Have to call you out on the brutally knocked Byrd out thing.
Byrd was up by the count of 3 or 4, not wobbly and wanting to continue.
Fair enough the stoppage was good as Byrd was taking way too much punishment but he was not knocked out.

 

sorry cant give ya that..byrd lost to george straigh after pov..kind of sums that up for ya..

chagaev was undeafeated and still active..he was rusty for pov..i still maintain an in shape chaggy and fully focused beats pov..
