    povotkin seems to be the big fav here..but after listenin to teddy atlas saying povotkin has basiclly only had a 3 week camp and that he wasnt in a great shape when he got to russia does anyone think ruslan can cause the upset???

    He's definitely got a good chance, I'd see the fight as 60-40 for Povetkin, but a Chagaev win wouldn't be much of an upset.

    i actually like chagaev always have,even tho he does the bare minimum to win..but alot of guys think its going to be one sided ud..i went for a close ud for pov but now seein hes not in good condition im wondering if chaggy will win and get another crack at wlad..we all know he isnt going to avoid him.

    Chagaev did look **** against Meehan and Walker last year, out of shape too. Whilst Povetkin has only fought cans recently and both have been inactive... so who knows.

    i thought he just looked abit rusty against meehan still the same old chagaev...walker was nuts tho..im blaming the ring it was riduclasly small.and he took some bombs but was still there

    Why would Atlas care? FNF and their **** cards were too important to be at Povetkin's full camp. Oh wait, he doesn't really care. Thusly the career sabotage he has pulled on Povetkin.

    if its a draw ill eat my gloves...unless chag dominates povs always gettin the decision..but pov seems to be in bad shape for some bloody reason so chag could end up dominating him

    sure he's got a chance, the fact that Povetkin is trained by Atlas is a great chance, but i'm still picking Povetkin by UD...

    i picked a ud but a close ud...but looking at pov im startin to think chagaev could pull it from nower or we could all very well be on here shouting robbery..in fact i think ill change my prediction to pov decision due to strippy jumper judges lol

    cool man:good:good...but chagaev did quit in that fight so at least he might have got out without being made into damaged goods..i just think with sasha meant to be in so bad a shape chagaev might school him..after all regardless of what people think..he is quality..:good

    Povetkin is nothing special, but Chagaev might be shot, dunno but i wouldnt be surprised by any result.

    i have a random feeling we might see a controversial decision

    I've got a feeling that an out of shape Povetking > than unhealthy Chag.

    Either way, I'm hoping for a good fight and it would be awesome if they both showed up and put on a great performance.

    The HW division could use some strong contenders.
