    would be if Povetkin beats Wladimir via KO.

    Then Vitali could fight Povetkin for the undisputed championship after Vitali has gotten rid of Valuev/Chagaev...

    Povetkin for sure has a chance to beat Wladimir - the best chances of any other heavyweight (except for Vitali).

    I can't wait for December 13 as a lot of you will have to witness, that it will be a competative fight...

    He's too small, hia chance is minimal, he may have the best chance, but thats only a reflection of the division.

    I'm still picking Povetkin to beat Wladimir.

    Last night just proved Sam Peter is a nobody. I'm not fully convinced the division sucks as a whole but if Povetkin can't at least take some rounds off Wladimir then the point will be proven.

    It will be interesting what approach Povetkin is trying to win. He is stupid if he thinks he can win this fight if he fights like he always does. Coming in open and connecting with combos wont work. Wont work cause Povetkin has no scary power. Wlad will time him. Imho Povetkin is in for a beating, no matter what tactics he will choose.

    Dont put too much hope into it. He hasnt impressed me one bit. Too slow, technically average, punch doesnt seem to be a killer, and he is too heavy. Seeing his amateur career, you would expect a little bit more.

    I like Povetkin. He has a relatively exciting style for a heaveyweight but i really can't see him beating Wlad.

    He gets hit to often coming in, add that to the fact that Wlad will have a huge reach and height advantage and i think we will just see Povetkin eating Wlad's jab all night. As the fight progresses Wlad will start to time and unload the right and i expect a Wlad KO or ref/corner stoppage in the mid-late rounds.

    I believe with Haye's speed and power he has the best chance of beating Wlad (obviously im not including Vitali here) but will have to wait and see how his punch resistance handles up in the heavier division before i bet my morgage on it.
