Just messing with you. I rewatched Eddie's fight with Dimitrenko the other night, and while Alex's jab is not on Wlad's level, it certainly isn't terrible. Eddie completely erased any effectiveness it might have had. If he can block most of them, and counter enough to make Wlad throw less, I think he might have a pretty good chance. If not, Eddie hasn't taken much punishment in any of his fights and I see him going the distance. If he manages to beat Wlad, he'll probably fight Vitali or Haye or rematch Wlad. But Povetkin will remain a top contender, so I think there's a chance for a rematch someday. I dont like rewatchin fights.haha Jes also Alex improves a bit I remember in his last fights, but he still throws manny powerpunches and hooks a lot. the jab is better, but nut enuff to be considered as good. Alex has not the power to beat a Kitschko but I agree with u that Eddie could "outbox" Wlad in his way he outboxed Sascha. Wlads workrate will be important. Edddies speed and movment in general. Wlad will land some clean shots, who could slow down Eddie. I think Eddie ahs the better chance in beating Wlad than Alex does.

Alexander dosent get the full credit he deserves. He was a outstanding amateur. And is now 18-0 in his Pro Career. And he hasn't been fed easy opponents either. Lets have a look. -Larry Donald (American representative at Super Heavyweight at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, In the pro ranks holds wins over Tyrell Biggs, Tim Witherspoon, and Evander Holyfield) The fight before Povetkin, he took a prime Nikolay Valuev to a MD in Germany. Povetkin, won virtually every round against him. Chris Byrd (Byrd is a former two time world champion and a future hall of famer. Going into the Povetkin fight, he had wins over David Tua, Evander Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko and had a wealth of experenice over Alexander, Povektin battered and stopped him comfortably) Eddie Chambers (Chambers was 30-0 going into the fight, with some impressive wins. Povetkin won a clear decision. Chambers has since gone on to win 5 straight including wins over Samuel Peter, and Alexander Dimitrenko. Jason Estrada (Estrada was a world class amatuer and a risky fight for a rusty Povetkin. He came to win, Povetkin beat him UD. Povetkin has done all of this within 18 fights. Thats impressive. It's a shame injuries have stalled his career and a shot at the title. But I feel he is very underrated and when fit can be a force. I also hope Teddy Atlas can improve him to the next level. Paulie there are always underrated boxers IMO...

if Wlad is going to win his up-coming bout with Fast Eddie, which I think is possible. ( I wonder if Wlad can hurt him so the 3rd-man will stop the fight), he will face the Russian in da ring. 4 sha. no doubt and win this either. I dont think theres a rematch in near future or eva.

Depends what's left of him after he fights Wlad. if Wlad is going to win his up-coming bout with Fast Eddie, which I think is possible.

Im also confident "Americas last hope", after lost some weight and won some speed, would win the rematch. Depends what's left of him after he fights Wlad.

Most likely, and there is nothing Teddy Atlus can do about it. Depends, Chambers has vastly improved his conditioning since then and had a lot of success against Povetkin early in their fight. But Sasha was also sick if I remember right. Since I'm not a huge fan of Atlas' training ability I'd have to agree with the second part though.

Chambers would destroy Povetkin in a rematch by mid-round KO. Most likely, and there is nothing Teddy Atlus can do about it.

He's a good boxer and he is underrated. My problem is that he's been delaying a fight with W.Klitschko for TWO years already, I don't know how he's still IBF mandatory.

He's pretty good. I wanna see how he looks with Teddy Atlas now. His first fight with Atlas in his corner: Looks a lot better than he did in the Estrada fight. Though the 8 lbs he lost and much easier to hit opponent might have had something to do with it. People were high on him two years ago after beating Chambers and Byrd, but pulling out of the Wlad Klitschko fight, the inactivity, and not exactly fighting world beaters have hurt him since.

Chambers would destroy Povetkin in a rematch by mid-round KO.

he's fought good competition from the start& atlas will improve his conditioning & defence.intriguing guy to keep an eye on.he fights march 13 vs unnamed opponent.

Povetkin is the best heavyweight not named Klitschko. i find this disturbing

Bump!!!!!! Paulie

but his defence is just so shitty. the klit bros will score on him like a cheap hooker.

Povetkin & Boytsov have good prospects in the post-Klitschko era.

Povetkin may be underrated or not even looked at much at all, that's probably because the Klitchsko brothers are around.

um no one really cares to rate him so over and under do not apply And why would that be? And this is my point, people should rate him, but they don't making him extremley underrated. Paulie
