    The Ibragimov fight is really a foregone conclusion for a lot of people. So it's understandable why this fight doesn't move him as forward as some of his fanatics suggest.

    I'd much rather see a Sam Peter rematch. To me that is the marquee fight at heavyweight. The initial fight was one that many people tuned in for (both HBO and ESB) and a rematch would draw likely even more attention.

    Plus the first one was full of controversy. It only makes sense to have a rematch.

    I don't think alot of people give Wlad enough credit and i believe its due to the lack of talent in the Heavyweight division. Of those ranked in the top of the division, the only person i see giving Wlad problems would be... well his brother. I think he has excellent boxing skills and a right hook that Joe frazier would love. With the training he's getting now he'll contiue to improve and begin to distance himself from the rest of the pack.

    Sultan is a dangerous southpaw, just like Corrie Sanders and Wlad knows that.

    Wlad couldn't drop Brewster in six.

    Sultan took a few of Briggs best bombs, who's a known big puncher, but was never hurt.

    For those reasons I can't see a quick finish in this fight, yet, IMO Wlad will win a decision or by TKO/KO in the later rounds.

    IMO Chagaev is the only guy who has any chance to beat Wlad right now.

    Chagaev is an extremely talented southpaw fighter...he could make it very difficult for Wlad and maybe land clean like he did against Valuev.

    But Wlad DID drop Brewster in 4 during their first fight.

    Important fight for klitschko but he is a heavy favorite and I expect him to win. Therefore, adds nor takes anything away from my thoughts of klitschko. Which is, he is the best current HW and hopefully some contenders can come up in the ranks and give him a solid test. Povetkin is a great start.

    If he stops him in two that'll be impressive.
