    Barring no injuries or big upsets, I could see W. Klitschko ruling the hw division for another 3-5 years....

    What's say you?


    That is a plausible scenario, Klitschko may indeed rule for several years to come. Despite his limitations he does some things very well and his opposition is weak and ineffective. There is some young talent coming down the pike but sadly they are not fulfilling their potential. A year ago I was looking for some great things from Alexander Povetkin, but he too is shaping up to be a disappointment.

      Wlad will probably rule for awhile and the only imminent threat to him is Alexander Povetkin.

      That's a really baseless and ****** statement Potatoes made about Povetkin "shaping up to be a disappointment"...
      - he's won his all his 13 fights
      - won 10 by KO
      - won most of his fights, including 3 of the last 4 by early KO
      - won every round in his last fight, against a highly regarded and experienced contender (who's previous fight was losing a disputed close decision to the then WBA champ).
      - has fought better opposition in his first 13 fights than any heavyweight in over 20 years including Lewis, if you add up the wins and losses of his opponents...
