Who will beat Wlad?

i think valuev might have a siim chance of surprising wladimir with something due to his longer reach and height. remember that massive punch he hit monte barrett with in the 10th round? he threw it from halfway across the ring! and it had some speed on it. and it was totally unexpected from the slow gentle giant.

but personally the fighter i see giving wladimir some fits, is chagaev.

kinda similar to peter in power and shortness, but has more in the toolbox than peter, plus fitness, and confidence since he just beat the giant valuev.

reasons why i dont think peter can give wladimir any trouble in a rematch, and in fact will most likely lose by tko, is this:

1. peter lost his undefeated aura, and to the man he wishes to rematch. so he might be less inclined to walk through hell next time, mentally.

2. if peter tries to adopt some boxing skills which seemed shoehorned onto his natural brawling style, he will most likely be ko'ed. fighters should always stick to what works and not try to change something. he was unpredictable and wild against wladimir, and that made my fighter nervous at times. if peter boxes for a few early rounds, he will absorb huge amounts of punishment. it just doesn't fit him. though it worked against a featherfisted 5'10 obese shot fighter in toney, who is of course the polar opposite to waldimir! big mistake if his trainers tell him to try and jab with wladimir etc.

3. peter would have less confidence, while wladimir will only have more confidence. say what you will, but the legit knock down didn't put wlad on "***** street". ***** street is what sanders did to wlad. and now manny has improved wladimir's balance even more, i see wladimir watching out for the rabbit punches and doing what he did to brewster in their rematch. jab the **** outta peter for 6 rounds and slowly apply more and more harder right hands as the fight progresses.

4. peter's aura of iron chin is no longer. he still has probably the best chin in the division right now, but uppercuts and hooks can **** him up. mccline saw something in the wlad-peter match and he was right. straight right hands to peter's nose/forehead region dont do much. but the couple uppercuts and hooks mccline landed did telling damage. also, wladimir stunned peter in the first round with a hook, and throughout other rounds. and of course in the 12th round he put peter on ***** street :deal only for moment but that is way mccline noticed, and he almost capitalized on it.

so i fully expected the far improved wladimir to recognize that weakness as well now.

if peter comes into the rematch with wlad in the same shape as their first fight, then i'd expect it to go to the later rounds. but if peter comes in not as conditioned, wladimir could end it at any time.

when peter was hit at the end of the second round by mccline, it was telling that he was badly ****ed up for the 3rd round. even with that 1 minute break, he came out dazed still. mccline simply doesn't have the pop, killer instinct and stamina to finish the job.

peter fans should look to chagaev or someone else to give wladimir a hard time. cause it will only be easier for wladimir in a rematch.

 

I would say Valuev first ,than Peter 2nd any man that is 7-1 and 325 can do some serious wreckage, and at 7 inches and 80 or so lbs heavier , would make Wlad look small and could intimidate him, and get inside his head..
Peter would be a threat every second of the fight because of his freakish power and brute strength, he may have just had an off night from the Mccline fight:hat

 

I have always been in action, Vooh.

I reside in the lounge these days, my friend

 

Brewster claims he just had an off night and he wants a rubber match.

So we may see if he was shot or not yet. He will probably ahve to get in line and win a few before he will get a rubber match, so it is entirely possible that we will see a revitalized Brewster and Wlad someday.

 

After disposing of that euro hypejob Povetkin, Chris Byrd will annihilate the winner of Brock/Chambers, become 100% focused, and get his revenge on Wlad, by knocking his ass out cold with a huge left hand.

 

Its really too bad Byrd didn't drop to crusier when it looked like it might be in the cards. The heavies have passed him by.

 

:happy

:hat

 

Possible figthers to beat Wlad is

1) Chagev : An expert against tall heavies. He beat virchis, valuev,savon and ruiz. Against wlad, he is the only one to have a chance of getting the decision and has a good chin (which is a must for wlad). Still he does not have more than 30% chance.

2) Sam Peter: Though he lost some prestigue, still he has chance. ;He was very good and dangerous in the first fight. His chin is exposed but I still believe he has a good chin (took many power shots in the first match) and he can win by a good KO punch.Chance 20%
3) Valuev: has iron chin and good stamina. took clean punches from mccline without blinking (that knocked down peter 3 times:yep ) but easy to hit. He is very slow to get decision and does not have a KO punch. His chance come from the possible fatigue of wlad in the later rounds. He can suffer his first TKO lost, as even the hardest chins can be cracked by consistent HARD punches. Chance 15%
4) Possible: Povetkin,JC Gomez and Solis . We must see them against better opponents to judge.

İbragimov has no chance to get a decision and does not have the one punch KO power to have any chance.
