      I guess Thompson is the slightly trickier option, Povetkin though overall the better fighter.

      I don't know why you made a poll, there's nothing on the basis of which we could guess. The lawyers are figuring this one out

        I've had the same problem several times.

        I'd go with Povetkin. I tmight just be little to early for him though. But he is technically sound with a good defense.

          It's difficult to predict, but the styles of Povetkin and Thompson couldn't be any different.

          Who has the best style matchup for Wladimir?

            Tunney, when I said Thompson is slightly "trickier" I only meant he perhaps matches up better with Wlad. Povetkin needs to get inside, but he doesn't have the ability to get under Wlad's jab. And he's just open. Wlad won't be hesitant to throw his right against a guy like Povetkin

              A lot of people think Povetkin will be perfect for Wlad because they think he's easy to hit. But I think because he's a pressure fighter he actually has a chance - he'll rush in past the jab and make more contact than Sultan was able to.

              With Thompson it would be a "chess match" affair, with both fighters depending heavily on their jabs. Wlad would eventually win a TKO.

                    That's just you, Kball15 the heavyweight hater.

                    I wouldn't miss a round of it for good sex, and may even take a trip to be there!
