    Povetkin has the potential to score points against anybody with his work-rate. It depends whether he can hurt Klitschko enough to force him into his shell.

    Povetkin will not disgrace himself here, unlike those before him. He will give Klitschko a real good go I feel, even if it gets him knocked out given how prone he is to a straight right.

    I can just see wlad jabbing povetkin all night and the occasional right hand, i can't see povetkin imposing himself on wlad enough :conf ive been wrong before :good

    Maybe. Most Wlad opponents struggle to get near him these days, given his jab is so good and as soon as anybody gets within 2 metres he jumps on them and bearhugs relentlessly

    Its possible or even probable that will happen. I think Povetkin will give it a go though, and go out on his sword.

    From what I have seen Povetkin leaves himself completely open for the right hand in most of his fights (i.e. against Chambers) and that is Wlad's money punch, so I am going with Wlad by Ko sometime in the middle rounds.

    The key to beating wlad is speed and power, and i just don't think povetkin has enough pop. He is a very skillfull boxer don't get me wrong, i still think this fight is to early for him kinda reminds me of tyrell biggs vs mike tyson.

    Biggs 15-0 10 ko's olympic champion fought tyson and got smashed and was never the same.

    I personaly give haye more chance against wlad as he is fast and powerful and comes to knock you out.

    I think eitherway it will be a good fight with wlad's hand raised as the winner

    Wlad has millions of dollars and is the unified champion. He doesn't really need anything but a win.:hey

    The more fans wlad can get the more ppv buys he will get, therefore people will be more hyped about him fighting.

    which inturn means more $$$$$$$

    funny how wlad is the champ but there are more threads about david haye :think and people seem more hyped about his older brother fighting fat sam then him fighting povetkin.

    There are reasons for this


    Wlad is a good fighter and a good champ but he can sometimes bore the hell out of the paying public, i like wlad but id like him to stop the huggy bear ****.
