Corrie Sanders was a totally beatable southpaw who going into the fight with Wladimir had fought only once in 2001 and once in 2002. He knocked the fu%k out of him in two rounds and you don't think that means anything.
If Wladimir fought Alexander Povetkin there is a very good chance he might lose and even if you think that Wladimir would win you have to admit that Povetkin would be his best opponent in a long time I think everyone knows that.
exactly, and to add more, like what Grand Champ said he has a Ph.D in Sports Science, he can speak 4 languages (Ukrainian, Russian, German, English) and an Humantarian... he has donated tons of money to charities, he has helped people out in Africa....
yeah hes definitely a disgrace....
Yea, let's forget that he was knocked out 3 times by fighters that he should have easily beat.
Why the **** does everyone downplay how good Povetkin really is

No, I don't like the fact that he hasn't fought any really good fighters and when he fights Povetkin all the people that are on his nuts will have to shut up.
