    Yes, I did. I watched Povetkin vs Chambers live in Germany's capital Berlin,and Povetkin's encounter with Byrd on tv.

    I dont deny that Povetkin is one of the more hittable fighters out there.At times his defence is quite leaky.
    Nevertheless, he hasnt lost a single fight within the last 6 years-neither at the pros nor at the amateurs.He was one of the most dominating amateur fighters of all times,a superstar at the amateurs. He faced quite a lot of good punchers at the amateurs,and didnt go down.He can take a good punch.I dont think that Wlad will have as easy a time with him as he had with Chagaev.I dont say that Povetkin will beat Wlad.They say that fortune favours the bold,but I am not that adventureous to bet my money on Povetkin:D
    WEll,my point is that Povetkin is far more active than Chagaev and he knows all the ropes and how to cut off the ring and fight inside.
    Styles make fights.Povetkin will make the water hot for Wlad.However,I have my doubts that he will be victorious over Wlad.

    None of that list. Wlad's lucky in the day and age he fights. He's the best of a shitty bunch. Vitali might beat him if that ever happened. Would still love to see Wlad Haye as you just never know

    I can buy that. "Styles make fights". Valuev obviously does not have the skills of Wlad but his size alone would make things awkward for Wlad IMO.
    I'm no fan of Valuev (lost all respect when he hit an old man in a parking lot incident) but I think he would give Wlad the most trouble although with hardly a chance to win. Would be quite a sight to see Wlad knock out Valuev up against the ropes! Watch out in the front row :scaredas: TIMBEEEEEEEER
