Should Povetkin be fighting Wladdy so soon???

I see Povetkin getting inside and ripping Waldo with short uppercuts and hooks. And also that short compact right hand when Waldo tries to close the gap by grabbing like a sissy.

I pick Povetkin in an upset. :smoke

 

povetkin has the punch and the skills to get it on the target.

i think he will beat wlad.

 

wlad would knock any heavyweight out

 

wlad got the skills the punch........but he is fragile like thin glass.

wlad can win, but i´d hold my breath every time povetkin attempts a punch.

 

Povetkin is no inexperienced greenhorn but one of the most promising heavies out there.He was a superstar at the amateurs totally dominating his weight division overshadowing all his fellow heavies like Sam Peter,Calvin Brook,Jason Estrada,Sebastian Koeber,Paolo Vidoz,and so on.
Sultan Ibragimov? He couldnt and cant hold a candle to Povetkin.
I bet my house that he would teach Sultan a lesson in boxing .
However,there is bigger fish out there than Sultan Ibragimov who isnt really a huge draw even in Russia.
Povetkin has all the tools to beat Wlad,Valuev,or Chagaev.
Even at this early stage of his pro career I give him a good chance to defeat Wlad.
Povetkin looks as though butter would not melt in his mouth but he is a master inside a box ring and after some seconds with Povetkin in the same ring you for sure know that you are in hot water.

 

Wlads chin is the only real weakness he has, if Povetkin can get in and tap it good night Wlad, but thats a pretty big if.

 

povetkin is truly an exceptional talent, and he did have an amazing amature run.

BUT wladimir is in his peak right now. and if anything wladimir's losses will make him far more dangerous experience wise, than the undefeated povetkin.

it looks nice seeing an upcoming tiger with many aspects to his game plus the aura of never been beaten or ko'ed but i think people read too much into losses and especially ko losses.

sometimes it just makes a fighter more determined. and wladimir i feel when truly focused is a nightmare to anyone they put in there.

 

I don't think so - it looks to be too early at the moment.

But if he has very impressive showings against Byrd, Brock/Chambers, he would be viewed as one of Wladimir's biggest threats. Time will tell...

 

I have not yet analysed and over thought a match-up between wlad and povetkin, BUT what I do know is that I saw povetkin vs donald (first time I saw povetkin) and he didn't impress me AT ALL. He's no super talent, no way. In some rounds he had plenty of trouble against ''the legend'', just watch the fight.

I saw/see many posts and topics on how he is the heavyweights next best thing, etc. etc. Well he is just normal and nothing special in my eyes.

 

"Should Povetkin be fighting Wladdy so soon???"

How about: right after he win the 4-man tournament and become his mandatory?

 

What is so talented about him then? Can you try to convince me because I can't come up with anything that makes me think he is special.
Speed: normal/average
Power: Normal/average
Counter punching abilty: normal/ average

*note: point of vieuw based on the fight against larry donald who gave him plenty of diffculty.

I don't say he can't become a champion. But everybody can with the ''right'' management (Taylor for example) without even being a moster.

 

Most likely no. The truth about AP is somewhere in the middle of the lovers and haters views - as is usually the case. He seems to have lots of potential and is moving along quickly in his pro career.

 

Larry Donald is a bad example. That man made a career of being non-confrontational. I used to think Bowe scared him in the press conference until some time later I saw more of Donald's fights. He fights scared all the time. It's really impossible to look good against him. Povetkin still won every round.

 

Povetkin will really never be ready for Wlad.

But I would like to see Povetkin/Dimitrenko
