Wlad vs Povetkin on 13th Dec!!!

Spot on there, i heard Wlad waxes his face cause hes scared if he shaves it might break his chin.

 

I agree with most of your post, though Wlad is not a bum, he's a really good boxer, with top notch power, though lacks toughness when push comes to shove, and he does possess a very weak chin, Steward being the great trainer he is, found a way for Wlad to overcome his weakness by clinching excessively when in trouble.

Wlad is the best of a pretty bad bunch, when a fighter can stay out of the ring for 4 years and come back to fight the number 2 guy, cold, and completely dominate him, while holding his hands down around his waist and his chin out, tells you something about how weak the division truly is.

It took Foreman 4 years to get a title shot, from 87-91 when faced Holyfield, and another 4 years to get that same chance against Moorer in 95, a fight he was losing badly and being out classed by the younger man, found a way to land a lucky/well timed righthand towards the end of the fight, not a dominant performance by any means. So cant use him as an example of another Heavyweight fighter coming back to reclaim his status, he didnt completely opposite way than Vitali.

 

Doesn't that make him even more of a warrior. He is facing someone who is expected to do tat to him. He didn't go after much more beatable fighters like Chagaev, Ibragimov, Maskaev etv

 

Haye talks a big game but so did that Ozzie nitwit Dib an the weekend and look how he looked at the end of the day.:|

 

Quite so.

 

What are you talking about?, I have always been a fan of both.

 

I happen to be from a very small minority of people that thought Eddie Chambers a fairly skilled fighter. Heavyweights from the USA are held in very low regard. It's the fad now. Granted he has some issues but he landed some beautiful shots on Povetkin. Way too many.

So giving in to consensus opinion that US heavyweights are mediocre you almost have to conclude that Povetkin doesn't stand a chance.
