    Chagaev and Povetkin of a couple of years ago were clearly better than Adamek, but it remains to be seen if they can get back to their best.

    Povetkin might as well retire if he's got no intention of fighting Wlad.

    Whats happening to Potvetkin? Why work yourself into the number 1 position and duck the title shot?

    Well he was 'injured' the first time round, came back and looked a bit ****; Atlas pulled out him out the second time round saying he wasn't ready. He's 31, beaten Chambers/Byrd etc. He was about as ready as he'd ever be.

    Now Atlas has turned him from the smothering, high work rate pressure fighter he was into a more conventional boxer style and he looks ****. Not to mention he's got him fighting the likes of Javier Mora and Leo Nolan to prepare for a Klitschko. :patsch

    None of them will win a title as long as a Klit is around. Chagaev is completely done, looked terrible in his last fight.

    Chagaev was only hungry enough to win the title, but after he won the title from Valuev, he just slim-mered down. Skelton and Drummond were bad title defenses, almost as bad as Ruiz and Harrison. Than the Klitschko fight happened and his career pretty much plummeted.

    Chagaev was just a good contender who just happened to win the title by facing the right opponent at the right time. He won't be champion again.

    Povetkin has never impressed me. Now with his connects with Atlas, he is actually looking even worse. His last fight was horrific.

    Chagaev won't get back to his best for several reasons. Cause the Klitschko fight lost his confidence, his constant medical problems, and he just simply lost his hunger. Povetkin never really had a best. Adamek would beat both of them, and pretty handily too.

    I think Albert will beat Dimitrenko if and when they meet so he maybe deserves a mention.
