    Povetkin, a little bit more power than Ruslan in my opinion....

    Chagaev gets seriously overrated by some people... tell me who did he actually beat?

    According to most Chambers is a better win for Wlad than Valuev is to Haye so surely Povetkins win over Chambers is more impressive than Chagaevs win over Valuev?

    Either way Povetkin is a better fighter at this stage by a long way so I go Povetkin.... who may make it to the 5th round

    If Haye fights Povetkin after ducking Chagaev and the Klitschkos, and after fighting two jokes at HW, you can det the fix is in!

    Chagaev is the worse style match-up for Haye...Ruslan is a southpaw and has much better footwork and a granite chin. He is a llittle more shop worn, but I think this is why the big Hep B argument...Wlad fought him no prob...for some reason its a real problem now...maybe I'm ignorant to the rules within the WBA, but it seems that with fighters like Haye, there always lies an excuse when it comes to choosing opponents.

    Chagaev is much, much craftier but Povetkin's youth evens it out for me, if not tips it in his favor. I think they both lose to Haye right now. Then again, Chagaev has always been a tough read for me. Interestingly talented yet mostly underwhelming fighter.
