I prefer this over Chagaev. Whilst Povetkin has stalled in his career he was a very promising fighter. I'd have no problems with this fight and hope it comes off.
I think it's a better fight than Chagaev now, who's looked **** recently, is fat and inactive and did nothing against Wlad.
That sounds more and more like Povetkin the longer his careers going on And he has literally done nothing against Wlad. This fight does make sense though if both Klitschkos are apparently tied up again and Adamek's busy with pointless fights til he fights one of the brothers.
i think its a very tough fight. Povetkin is a short, hard punching with a solid chin. Hayes worst nightmare.
I like this fight and it is one of the few fights that Haye can make and redeem any credibility. Not sure who I would pick for the winner but would certainly imagine Haye to be the favorite on here.
This would be a great matchup. If Haye wins this one there is no question he is a world class heavyweight, but I'm picking Povetkin. For both fighters this is the biggest fight in their career Wlad-Adamek, Vitali-Solis and Haye-Povetkin is a great way to seperate the top guys in the division. I rank Chambers and Chagaev above Solis but otherwise this is the best fighters in the division all going at it! What a great year for the division this should be!
