Povetkin has terrible skills. His life may be in jeopardy against Klitschko.

Oh, I guess to you getting punched almost as much as your opponent, looking bad in every fight that you've stepped up against, (mostly mediocer opposition anyway), not having any real defensive ability is skill to you.

So basically, in your opinion, as long as you got great stamina, a good chin, and you're willing to take a beating, that's what you call skill?

That kind of stuff can work in the amateurs when the majority of your opposition are guys that have no stamina, and a place where knockouts rarely occur, and there are only 3 to 4 rounds.

You can be champ there.

But the pros are a completely different ball game.

Povetkin would get beat up by Haye too. Possibly worse than with Klitschko but he would be able to get to Haye more than he will be able to get to Klitschko.

But Klitschko will be content with controlling the fight, with Povetkin taking gradual punishment, while Haye will come out and try to break his jaw.

 

I guess his fight with an out of shape, stationary Chambers, where Chambers couldn't miss with his weak right hands, still busting Povetkin up, until Chamber's stamina failed him, and Povetkin won by merely stamina and chin, makes you believe this, even though Haye is naturally bigger than Chambers, hits way harder, is much faster, and doesn't just stand right in front of you?

That's why he would **** Haye?

So basically in conclusion, you don't know **** about actual boxing?

 

Povetkin is not a huge puncher. He wins by accumulation.

So the only way I see that happening is if Povetkin pays Haye to stand right in front of him and drop his hands.

 

What skills did you actually see?

I understand that he put his punches together, but it's easy to put punches together when your opponent stands right in front of you like a heavybag, which is EXACTLY what Chambers did.

I didn't see defense by any man that was any good.

I think Chambers had slightly better defense, but his defense consisted of just putting his hands up and blocking punches, maybe occasionaly moving out of the way of punches, but Povetkin did the same thing, yet was still pentrated EASILY by Chambers right hands.

I mean Povetkin has NO movement at all. He stands RIGHT in front of you and takes whatever you give him. His idea of winning a fight is throwing so many punches that his opponent is unable to answer back.

Haye is not the right figher to implement this strategy. Haye can actually box. He uses movement, angles, and distance (you know actual boxing) to set his opponent up.

Povetkin won't be able to hit what is not standing right in front of him, and considering he's not that good at pressuring his opponent, and he lacks signficant punching power, and doesn't have great range.

He'll get battered by counter right hands. I mean, BATTERED. His face will get busted up bad, and I would be surprised if he gets broken eye socket, jaw, from lead left hooks and counter right hands he doesn't see coming.

It's a bad matchup for Povetkin.

The olympics, ESPECIALLY the heavyweight olympics ESPECIALLY the RECENT heavyweight olympics have been pathetic. Look at Solis. Look at that fat mother ****er.

I mean are you ****in serious?

3 rounds can be won by stamina and toughness. You throw a ton of punches, and put on big pressure, you can win.

This ain't the amateurs. Haye will beat the **** outta Povetkin.

*And another thing, Chambers is not faster than Haye, and his JAB is not even in the same stratosphere. And I'll forgive you because a lot of people don't understand the true dynamics of a jab today, and teach the type of **** that Chambers does, but it's not right.

Guys who are great jabbers are guys like Martinez, Gamboa, Klitschko, Mayweather, Ward. They know how to properly throw a jab.

 

I'm pissed off at Haye myself.

It would be an incredibly difficult fight for him due to Klitschko's tenativeness, experience, and physical assets, but he can still win.

If he manages to make Klitschko take risks, he can counter him and knock him out.

His movement, speed, and punching power can give Klitschko fits. Think about how tenative Klitschko was against Ibraginov who used similar defensive tactics that Haye will implement.

It's just that Ibriganov wasn't willing to offer anything in return.

It could also turn out to be a boring affair as well, but at some point Haye will force the fight.

One way or another, somebody is goin down.
