    Haye is more likely to beat WALDO than Povetkin, better one shot power. We'll find out soon enough I guess....maybe Chambers can surprise us all and pull the upset :yep

    I'v seen him as an amateur go to war and take flush hard shots from big hitters like Cammarelle, he has a beard. Elusiveness isn't exactly his forte (althought he's now working on it), he takes punishment in order to give it. Given his style he wouldn't have been as successful as he has been if he didn't have a chin.

    Not sure about Povetkin he cuts easy in 2 rounds Chambers puffedd his eye and had him cut. Also he is not overly hard to hit. Also he is losing steam he was going fast beating guys above him and racing to the title then he pulled out became in active now he has Atlas and is active but his opponents are stiffs punching bags with a pulse. Cantt tell if he improved cause he is fighting garbage. Gets in the ring with Wlad he will soon be surprised if he thinks its as easy as mora and nolan. Gut should fight a top contneder to stay sharp. But in this era its all about getting the shot while your green getting your pay day getting laid out and doing nothing with your career.

    In the amateur circuit is a whole different ballgame. Guys like Harrison were beasts in the olympics, then their true colors showed in the pros.

    Povetkins time will come, and will see which one of us is right or wrong.

    I personally don't think Potvetkin would be either K brother, but to be honest with you, I wouldn't mind if I was proven wrong.

    More like vice versa. Wlad's jab alone would probably be enough to hurt Haye's pathetic chin.

    Yeah he's def very easy to hit. It's funny how every year people say somebody is going to whoop one of the klitschkos but as of the past few years they've been dominant.

    No way. His defence is too bad. Wlad will KO Povetkin early.

    Agreed, Wlad will expose his chin for what it is. It has been protected for far too long.

    povetkin would get jabbed to death before eating a huge right hand. povetkin is open for shots that are straight down the pipe, and were talking about a guy who can do that better than anyone in the division. povetkin gets sparked out within five.

    Povetkin is a human punching bag. But yes he's going to beat wlad with his weak chin ass.

    Povetkin will probably lose to Wlad, but fight should be good, similar to Vitaly-Arreola.

    You're seeing something I'm not then, I guess. From what I've seen of Povetkin he's just a very good fighter that might get a hold of a strap some day. But not great. I think Chambers pretty much gave the fight away to him but was clearly the more talented fighter. But, hey. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy. I like to see guys exceed my expectations.
