If Povetkin pulls out of a 2nd fight with Wlad......

i think povetkin has a good skill set, a great amateur career but like you said doesn't have what it takes yet to even be competitive with wlad. with some experience with similar opponents he could learns some tricks but from what i've seen just doesn't have the natural tools needed to win. i wish him the best but i worry for him what happens to every other even semi-promising heavyweight that fights wlad: get ruined. Maybe Povetkin can be like jerry quarry: a fantastic fighter who can always be competitive and beat almost anyone in the top 10 but just fall short of the champ. I don't see this though. I fear that the wlad loss will ruin his career

 

Valuev the freakshow is scared....he showed that by not taking the fight when offered before chagaev.

If Povetkin pulls out then he needs to lose his place in line. Its that simple. Frankly, I do not want to see WK fight him anyway because I think it will be a 1 sided beatdown anyway. WK will outclass him and then he will get bashed for doing so.

Povetkin needs to earn some ring warrior stripes with the best he can fight, not named Klitschko. I say that not saying he needs it to deserve a fight, but to get properly prepared and experienced.

 

And the thing is, it doesn't have to be this way. It just seems that Alex himself is in such a rush to jump in there with the best. What is the hurry? He's around 30 years old, which is a baby by today's standards.

 

:goodexactly...and what's the biggest "war" he's been in? the chambers fight. in ring terms he's very fresh

 

Who would you like to see Wald fight next? :think Given that I don't think there is anyone at heavy that I think can beat him, I'd love to see him mark down Valueless...... Just for the halibut.....

 

wlad can and will dictate the pace of any fight he's in. over a long fight, most fighters will get worn and ground down to powder. the lucky few will get taken out by one shot. Povetkin is a solid pressure fighter: a style which will be completely ineffectual after the first round when he realizes he can't reach wlad. A body attack to slow him down won't get past the jab and povetkin doesn't have fast enough hands to can't wlad with counter punches. in the words of lennox: it's OVA

 

actually i think a misplaced bear trap in northern ontario just took out valuev. he was trying to steal some kids picnic basket. they're shaving him now to make sweaters for the province of quebec. the ENTIRE province

 

**** chef, for a decent heavyweight fight in north america i might fly the wife and i there myself

 

that'd be awesome and i think arreola has better experience and skills to make a fight out of it:good problem is if i DO come down wlad will have to worry about my wife trying to sneak into his dressing room:silly
