Haye - it's hardly debatable. He is the WBA champ with wins over Valuev and Ruiz, not to mention the usual run of the mill guys like Barrett and Bonin.
Can't be ****ed to vote. Povetkins inactivity has harmed him. The only notable opponent is Chambers who would've beaten him handily had he been the Chambers who subsequently got in better shape, he was on the way to doing so. Povetkin will get stopped in two. That's the round Wlad usually sees fit to throw the big right hand (or the left in Ray Austins case) and I doubt Povetkin will be braced for it. Or he'll eat jab are jab round after round and get pulled out late in a borefest.
Not on me iPhone Rob, and my phone switches itself off whenver I venture onto the General, some sort of 'Thick **** Failsafe' setting Rob, out of interest mate, how do you see Povetkin-Wlad going :good I'm not sold on Povetkin being competitve myself, evident from the above post really.
honestly and I said this 2 years ago when the fight was first going to happen I give Povetkin a very very very good shot. I honestly see him as the best fighter Wlad has ever faced. He is no mug, he can take a shot and if he can put pressure on wlad and take him out of his element, hit him with a big shot he could win it. Thats not a prediction, just saying its possible. Its a 70-30 fight for Wlad when its usually 90-10. I will deffinatley have £10 on Povetkin to win by KO come fight night.
Went for Haye, based on winning the title defending it impressively enough. I'd say Povetkin has the better wins, but he's really disappeared for the last while
One thing wrong with thatovetkin isn't a big puncher, and that's what is required to take Wlad out of his element and comfort zone, make him panic and to lessen the amount of jabs he will throw. Wlad is too stable nowadays: Sanders or Brewster wouldn't stand a chance against today's Wlad IMO. I wouldn't favour the likes of Quarry, Shavers or Lyle to bear him either, whereas previously I would have.
Povetkin would knock Haye out. Haye will always run from Klitschkos. Haye will fight Audley or some wino from an alley.
