Yeah, but there are signs of slip usually. he's shown none. I think Wlad is still pretty much prime today.

True, but then again the last few opponents hasn't been anywhere near the class of Povetkin.

Actually Rosneft, a oil company owned by the Russian state, came in as partners for 50% of the roughly 25 million cost.

Thanks for the Info. So the russian state paid half the pursebid? Amazing.

It's pretty nuts. If Povetkin flops, it reminds me of Steve Wynn throwing down MAD MONEY to get Douglas-Holyfield and then saying screw boxing for years afterwards.

At least Povetkin hasn't been training on pizza is a frigging sauna.

Why are you such a liar dude? The ring belt is the lineal title. Period. Its been that way for 100 years. It was awarded whether you were on the panel and agreed or not. Not only that but Vitali owned Chris Byrd who was number 2 at the time and lost by injury. Maybe you were just one of the only ones who disagreed. The other experts overruled you for a reason. Be a man and stop trying to rewrite history to suit you bro. Then stop taking yourself so seriously.
