    :smoke What you say is all correct but goes out the window when tagged and hurt ! VLAD will tag and hurt him and then we will see if he is a modern day FRAZIER or just talented !:deal

    well obviously...but Povetkin won't fall into the same trap...Brewster is Brewster... Povektin is small but he's a very different type of fighter..You hav to see all his fights to get an idea of what i'm talking about...

    he's got undeniable qualities that compensate for a lot of things..
    the real big question is if his chin can handle it...we'll soon see this..

    Wlad will win by brutal KO. Yesterday Povetkin was in trouble against Chris Byrd. He took a punch from Byrd !!! and was in trouble.

    Povetkin must work on his skills change the trainer, Povetkin is amateurish and was very tired after 6 rounds against Chris Byrd.

    someone from the boxrec forums said exactly what i'm thinking about this guy's case and how the fans a reacting to his latest fight...

    "Povetkin dominates Donald in his 13h pro fight and dominates & stops Byrd in his 14th. Both tricky defensive guys, neither commiting to any attack, Byrd being a southpaw as well. Alexander solves different styles, and wins with skill & workrate. No other heavyweight does this.

    Wlad is a different size and a different style. Wlad is also more offensive minded, so he's not robbing Povetkin of punching opportunities by moving away all the time.

    Povetkin's learning every fight and when it's time he can beat Wlad. It was obvious that if he didn't land Sugar Ray Robinson combos every round someone was going to come along and say he's nothing special, he loses to Wlad, etc."

    that sums it up imo....

    Let's face it, only Golota has what it takes to take on Wlad. Povetkin looks like a boy.

    And look at this avatar. Wlad stands with Emanuel Steward and that makes the big difference. Since Wlad is working with Emanuel Steward he learned and he is working on his skills.

    Povetkin has no chance against Wlad.

    I don't see anyone beating Wlad in the next two years.
    I'll bet Las Vegas odds agree.

    obviously i think wladimir is going to win, but yes i have to admit, povetkin seems to have a combination of things that might cause wladimir some serious discomfort. if povetkin's chin is iron, then wladimir will try and UD him to avoid getting tired.

    but! i think povetkin has a solid chin, but not a ATG chin. that combined with the fact he is easy to hit most of the time, will spell doom for him verses that long jab of wlad's. unless povetkin incorporates some seriously good fast head movement and keeps it up constantly, i see wladimir jabbing him before bringing the steelhammer to work in the mid-later rounds.

    but ultimately i think the fighter who really will be wladimir's biggest test is ruslan chagaev. personally he seems more better than povetkin in everyway, and more importantly he has better power than povetkin.

    also ruslan really knows how to move when he needs to against a bigger guy. povetkin i think will try to do his "casual walk-in" approach to fighters. what i mean is he seems content to walk to his opponent with a high-ish guard and his chin tucked in. maybe he is lazy but with a guy like wladimir who can float around the ring pretty well, he will become a sitting duck and get ko'ed.

    chagaev might stand a better chance simply because he will try to slip punches and move to avoid wladimir setting up.

    but at the end of the day i really feel wladimir will retire without any more losses. unless he intends to fight for another 6-7 years, then i can see him losing. but since i reckon he'll only be around another 4-5 years max, he could retire with an unbroken winning streak while (hopefully) the unfied champ.

    Peter beat him easily?

    Peter didnt dare to cross Povetkin's shadow at the amateurs.Peter was a nobody who was stopped and kicked out of the last olympic tournament by Paolo Vidoz.
    The clumsy African fighter would probably not be able to last the distance with Povetkin.

    I really wish people would cut down the hype and see him for what he is. The stronger the hate will be when he gets his first loss.
