Would anyone else prefer to see Povetkin/Haye more than any Klit fight?

    I'm not hating on the Klitschko brothers, i think they're good and all. But i hate seeing them jab away at opponents till they've worn them down like Wlad did to Chagaev at the weekened.

    The best prospects for beating them at the moment are Povetkin or Haye, but both those guys will be fighting an uphill battle aswell.

    To be honest i would love to see a Super HW division for people like the Klits, and then let the smaller guys fight it out. I think we'd get much better fights in both.

    i would prefer any haye fght over both a povetkin fight or a klitschko fight, alex is a little more agressive then the klits....so could be some fireworks....oh an haye ko round 9 of povetkin, povetkin was like a little fat russian kid that cant stay out of the pastry shop the way he looked against estrada, the guy was completley out of shape....

    I really doubt that Haye will take on Povetkin. It is too risky for Haye. Haye's advantage is the benefit of the doubt. If he fight a solid fighter, this could end. I think that Haye will try to fight Klitschkos without taking any other fight.

    But if we had just a division for guys that size, we'd get much more entertaining fights.

    Over the last few years, we've had Lewis and the Kilts dominating the HW division with their size and a similar style. Jab, jab, back peddle, straight right.

    I would love to see just guys under maybe 230 fight. We'd get much more interesting, exciting and competitive fights with Chagaev, Haye, Povetkin, Chambers ect fighting

    Then just let the Klits fight against guys who are at their eye level. If there are enough fighters to fill the Superheavy division in the Olympics there would be enough for them to fight.
