    Saw this on another forum and thought it was kind of funny, so I decided to share it with you here on ESB.

    Some time ago IBF helf a HW Tournament to decide who's gonna face the champ and challenge him for the title.

    The then "Super Four" included:

    Chris Byrd
    Eddie Chambers
    Calvin Brock
    Alexander Povetkin.

    What's interesting is that all four participants will have met Wlad in the ring by the end of the year. Here's what's happened so far:

    Participant #1:

    I haven't seen the chambers fight yet, but I never thought Eddie suffered a brutal stoppage.

    Each of them lasted longer than the one before them.
    Combine that with Wlad's promise to save KO# 49 for Haye.
    Povetkin will go the distance!

    I'm not sure they released him from hospital yet.
    He wasn't allowed to travel back to the USA because of the severe concussion.

    Brock was physically what it took to beat Klitschko and he was annihilated. I don't see whom else in the division is going to put up much of a fight outside of possibly the quick in and out striking of David Haye.

    haha, that is hilarious. Funny how all of the participants fought Wlad. But the winner hasn't:lol:
