    I'm taking Povetkin by early brutal TKO; the guy's a fast starter, is very aggressive, and seems to be very determined to make his mark on the division. Also, I love the fact that he's taking such a 'risky' fight early on in his career. I'm really rooting for this kid to do good things for the hw division.

      A decisive win by Povetkin over Barrett (an early KO or TKO) will establish him as a contender. Next, I'd like to see him clean out some of the mediocre fighters in the top 25, such as Lyakhovich and Williamson.

        And I think Povetkin will win a title by the end of 2008, and be Ring Magazine Champ at heavyweight by 2010.

          he is the only promising guy on the horizon, he should be the heir apparent to wlad, id say 2010 sounds about right, i do wish he were a little younger though, as far as age goes he is basically wlads and peters peer

              i have seen 4 of his fights now, and he looks ok but i am not overly impressed with him yet, he is still very green and i think he will ever take barrett out early or barrett could win a close SD/UD

                Well, it's been a few weeks since this thread started, and since then Povetkin destroyed L'Heureux in two rounds. Obviously, Barrett will be a much more difficult opponent.

                There was a report the other day from Barrett's training camp that he's in the best shape of his life and has been knocking people out in sparring.

                  barrett is a decent fighter but i dont think hes knocked anyone out in awhile, i dont expect povetkin to be that guy... and hes probably not gonna get the benefit on the cards
