Povetkin will fight Holyfield in December. This says enough... Wlad would KO Povetkin. Sauerland will put Povetkin against some opponents and than he has to fight Helenius to keep the "regular WBA Belt" to the stable. No risk for Sauerland. And the same **** from Sauerland like usual.
What about the Russian market? Ibragimov staged his fight with Holyfield in Russia. I'd guess that after Holy Povetkin's next fight will also be there. I agree Povetkin is not a threat to Wladimir and I don't want to see the match-up. I'd like to see Povetkin-Haye, Povetkin-Bostyov, maybe Povetkin-Adamek.
Wlad's schedule will like this! Arreola-December 2011 in MSG Chambers/Thompson mandatory-Spring 2012 in Germany POVETKIN-Fall in Germany The only thing other than an injury or a loss that would interfere with this schedule is if Wlad takes Tarver away from Vitaly. Who knows? Tarver does want to fight one of them and will probably get his wish. Perhaps if Arreola turns down the fight in December, Wlad will let Tarver jump in. Regardless; Povetkin will fight Wlad eventually.
On the one hand, Povetkin is clearly terrified of fighting Wlad. Just like Haye was terrified of fighting Wlad - and as a result their fight wasn't exactly electrifying. Seeing another fighter get into the ring with Wlad, like they are a sheep in front of a lion, is way down on my list of priorities. At least guys like Solis, Arreola, Adamek etc have the belief that they are there to win. On the other hand, Povetkin is (on paper) about as credible as most other opponents are in the division. I'd rather Wlad beat up on Povetkin rather than someone like Chisora or Fury (Or Rahman!).
Povetkin is in his prime and had some struggle with Chagaev, who IMO is not even a heavyweight. I would bet on Helenius beating Stashka.
atsch 9 KO's and only 2 Decisions in 6 years against the top contenders and belt holders in his division. Noone else is doing that.
atsch:rofl Wlad would knock Povetkin out and Povetkin“manager and team knows it. They refuses to fight Wlad twice. Povetkin is not interested in fighting Wlad, that“s the truth.
Wlad would **** slap the oversized, nappy clad infant Povetkin all night long! It would be a prolonged beatdown punctuated by a brutal KO! I can understand why the child Povetkin and his handlers would be keen to avoid this!
