Finally! A REAL HW FIGHT!! Chagaev vs Povetkin

I don't really like the idea of adding another division. There's already what, 17? That's too many, IMO. However, I think if they cut it down MMA style it would suck even more. They have only 7 classes and some are like 25+ pounds apart. That's just way too much of a gap. I think 11-12 weight classes would be just right. Something like this would be good. Straw-105 Fly-115 Bantam-125 Feather-135 Light-145 Welter-156 Middle-168 Light Heavy-180 Cruiser-195 Heavy-210 Super Heavy-210+

I agree that both fighters last fights have somewhat suck, but I also believe challenges motivate and pushes them to bring the best. The fight at least will be more competitive than watching the Klits beating smaller guys that can't reach them.

Alexander Povetkin 232.5 vs. Ruslan Chagaev 232.5 Both look in great shape, both are action fighters. IMO this is the best heavyweight matchup in a long time. One that gives validation to the ones who think that heavyweights over 240 should have their own division. The Super Heavyweight division. I have supported this solution since day one because it makes sense and is the biggest problem the heavyweight division faces today. Heavyweights fall short when facing Giants like the Klits brothers, mostly due to size. Now comes a fight with two good boxer punchers champions that for a change WEIGHT THE SAME and I can't wait to see the fight. IMO, Finally a REAL heavyweight fight!! There's already a poll up for this, has been up for days. Regardless, this is too heavy for Povetkin. He should be no where near 230 pounds. This is his career high weight. Lastly this is a joke fight. Chagaev's last fight was an eight rounder for christ's sake, a fight which he struggled to win.
