    I have a DVD of Povetkin's last 9 fights. With the exception of his last fight, he has got better with Atlas.

    I was one of those who criticised Atlas after that last fight. But now I've had to change my tune.

    :patsch

    You obviously have no idea, what style Atlas teach.

    Im not saying Povetkin will beat Wlad but learning from Atlas can only increase his changes. With his orginal style he would have get slaughtered by Waldos jabs

    I do agree that it wasn't a particularly memorable or good performance from Chagaev........but it did give to me at least an insight into the gulf between domestic and world class.
    Skelton in my opinion did little to earn a world title shot and looked out of his depth in there with Chagaev......and as you say Chagaev wasn't even firing on all cylinders that night.
