How long will the winner hold both the IBF and WBO titles....and will it matter ?

Well at least we agree on one of oppenents, I just think it would be exciting to see Wlad face the fighter to give him trouble in the ring. Chagaev is a good fighter who could give Wlad some problems, it would be great to see Wlad in a competitive match again.

 

wow im shocked u would believe that. i will consider wlad the champ if he steamrolls sultan, no ud.

i really dont see that much difference between iggy and chagaev. i think they are virtually interchangable as the #2 and #3 hws. both are counter punchers. iggy has quicker hands and feet. chagaev looks to have a better beard and maybe a bit more power. his victories over virhis/valuev are solid but he was lucky to get past virchis and he was hardly dominant against the giant.

i think even now povetkin is the biggest challenge. he has the best style to pose problems for wlad. great stamina. certainly his chin and power still have some questions. i would say sam peter but i dont think he can fight the same type of fight he did the first time

 

Chagaev is easily superior to Ibragimov. IMO Maskaev, albeit an old man, is the #3 (he's really interchangable with Sultan, but only because OM has a shaky chin and Sultan seems to have at least a SEMI-reputable one), while Chagaev is the #2.

Povetkin would get blown the **** out by Wlad, though. "Good stamina" won't do him ****, Wlad is the worst possible style for him to face.
