Official RbR and Discussion thread: Povetkin-Chagaev, Helenius-Liakhovich....

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This weights are in for Saturday's big heavyweight doubleheader in Erfurt, Germany. In a fight for the vacant WBA "regular" title, Ruslan Chagaev (27-1-1, 17 KOs) and Alexander Alexander Povetkin (21-0, 15 KOs) weighed exactly the same - 105 kilograms [231-pounds]. Former champion Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs) was present at the weighin and wants to fight the winner. In the other big heavyweight clash, undefeated Robert Helenius (15-0, 10KOs) was 243.6-pounds, while former WBO champion Sergei Liakhovich (25-3, 16KOs) was 232-pounds.

Helenius looks in shape, he appears more muscular.

Lyakhovich is too big at the waist - he's still 10-15 pounds over his ideal weight.

Everyone else should be lighter.

well, another Helenius KO. I look forward to Rob getting a title shot.

Helenius looks good, the rest look so-so. You can tell who thinks he has the most to gain here.

But it's not a body-building contest.

[Bajingo]

Holyfield is nearly 50 and in better shape than any of these guys.

He did. Looked pretty solid. Povetkin on the other hand came in at a career high and looks soft in the stomach and chest. Guy is a moron.

not necessarily. . . lower body fat doesn't always equal better cardiovascular fitness and overall conditioning. . . it's all genetic. . . . but yes he does have a more "aesthetically desirable" build. . . . and he's in
