    He fights the winner of Brock vs Chambers for a shot at Wladimir.

    He COULD fatten up his record with some more burnouts like Holyfield or Fatso Toney, possibly a gate keeper like Jameel Mccline, but observing his rather uncostomery , rapid ascention, maybe he's ready to test himself against some of the other prospects like Arreola, or the winner of Brock-Chambers, and then, somebody like Sam Peter.After that he should be ready for any of the mediocrities that infest the Heavyweight division today.

    Winner of Brock vs Chambers would be good fight. Povetkin get's hit quite much..Brock is hard puncher, so his chin would tested.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of Chambers-Brock sustains a bad cut and has to take a while out of the ring. If so, Povetkin should fight a tall opponent, in order to gain some more experience at punching upwards.

    Winner of Brock-Chambers. Yeah that would be a good fight but how will they deal with his Russian Cuisine?

    Maybe he could fight the guy that took Moorer the distance.

    Yep I agree. He could fight the winner of Brock-Eddie after the winner heals up.

    Probably, Calvin Brock. Although, he came in a little high in weight.

    After watching previous Chambers fights, I think he is just going to sit on the ropes and try to counter puncher punch. Chambers fights like that because he is quite short for a hw, and gives up much reach. I think Brock has the skills to land, avoid getting countered against Chambers and will take the fight.

    Watch for Chambers protective guard! He likes to wear it up to up to his ears to have protection against body punches.

    I thought the idea was for the winner of povs fight to take on the winner of the brocks fight?,and that guy then gets a shot at the title?,maybe i misread that somewhere.

    Povetkin has experience against taller guys. He fought 6'5" L'Heureux, and 6'5" Bostice, both recently.
