    I think Povetkin's bigger problem against Wlad will be lack of reach and defence. Losing some fat and adding muscle won't fix that.

    Haye will bust his balls about having tits but when Haye gets KTFO he will be sucking on those tits.

    Wlads resume is far superior to Povetkins. Povetkin gets hit with right hands constantly. He has not real power. His knockouts were against bums and a way past his prime Bryd. Wlad is a nightmare for Povetkin. Than add the height, Speed, and power difference.

    I'm thinking Povetkin would beat Thompson.

    Even if he can, there's a slew of HWs out there now, big strong mofos. Haye won't make it, I can't see it.

    Because Haye looked so great vs pressure fighters like Fragomeni and Mormeck, right?

    And don't mind my avatar but Golota is in business class, he's a force for Klits, even at 40.

    That's the point.

    They both gave Haye trouble even though they are smaller than Povetkin and don't hit as hard. As far as I know, Povetkin has never been knocked down in the amature or pro ranks. That could change, but his chin definitely seems solid. Could be a very bad style matchup for Haye.
