this is a serious question as i have not seen much of these guys, but i know some of you have. you know, guys like povetkin, alexander dimitrenko, that other uk fighter that kayjay says is going to take over the world. and then of course the american heavyweights in eddie chambers, jason estrada, arreola and others. it would benefit me to know. (yes kayjay)

povetkin wont beat wlad he is a solid fighter but nothing special. , i haven�t seen much of dimitrenko i heard he has bad back problems but i dont know how true this is. Haye has got good power and skills but there are still some ??? over his chin. chambers is fast but doesn�t have much power and lacks size. arreola is a basic fighter how i cant see winning a title. Mike Molla is one of the better American heavyweights who perhaps deserves another chance.

Povetkin is underrated actually.
He is 14-0 as a Pro and just beat Chris Byrd easily in just his 14th fight.
His quality of opposition has been very good for a novice pro.
He has more to offer , just because he isn't a KO king doesn't mean hi is nothing special.
This guy can Box.

Haye should lose and then move to heavyweight to get out of the division. Haye I could see doing well against Wlad, all you need is smarts and good power and you can defeat Wlad.

David Haye sucks. Look past the national flag, please.

Povetklin is good but he's all wrong to beat Wlad.

The Americans (Arreola, etc.) are second-tier at best.

Chagaev could maybe beat Wlad, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I don't remember saying someone will take over, but Denis Boytsov is by far the best HW prospect I've seen. He's about 21 now though and won't compete for at least two more years.

IF THEY HEAVYWEIGHT LIMIT WAS ONLY THE WAY IT IS IN THE OLYMPICS WE AS BOXING FANS WOULD HAVE PERHAPS THIS RIVALRY TO LOOK FORWARD TO.INSTEAD WE'VE GOT A FAT SOLIS AND HAYE A CRUISER.THIS SUCKS MAN.

haye was knocked out by a freaking cruiserweight,, yet he'd be ale to compete with a super heavyweight with one punch power in both hands?? I see no evidence to suggest such

do heavy prospects have a chance at being as good as wladimir?
