Klitschko Says Povetkin Talks To Be Resolved Soon

[Derranged_]

Although this is one of the best HW fights that could be made today, it makes much more sense to both if Povetkin takes some step aside money and let Wlad fight Valuev for the WBA belt with the winner fighting Povetkin till February of 2009. That way Povetkin will be fighting for 3 belts instead of 2 and he could set a moneymaker fight with Krasniqi in Germany while waiting.

I don't agree; there are too many variables for this outcome to occurr. Who's to say that the winner of Valuev-Ruiz will not have to face Chagaev later this year or would be ready to fight Klitschko this fall...

I'd say Povetkin cash in on his title shot right away instead waiting around for things out of his control to occurr....

Yeah, these are Tunney's two favorite HW's as well. He told me he'd be slightly routing for Wlad but doesn't want the fight to happen because they are his favorites. It sucks sometimes when two of your favorites have to square off but hey, it's boxing.

I can relate because that's kinda how I'm feeling about Pavlik vs. Hopkins.

What a ****in crybaby Tunney is...

Klitschko is gonna **** Povetkin up, he is too open for right hands. Imagine running into Klitschkos rights all night.. Nighty night.

i agree.the only type of fighter that can survive wlad are guys with speed or dunkulous power.pove is a very good average fighter.meaning he doesn't do anything exceptional but is a good fighter.

They won't finalize this fight until they watch the Valuev/Ruiz fight. Big KO by one of them = more demand to see the winner fight Klits & Povetkin will be SOL. At this point Vlad can throw a belt in the trash if they want to strip him of it and whip whoever to get it back later.

[KJB]

Povetkin doesnt have much room to be calling shots, but I understand why he wants as much money out of it as possible. Povetkin and his people know there is a good chance he gets KTFO, and this is his only big payday. If he was truly confident he might let a little more money aside for the victory.
Either way, Wlad is gonna beat him down. I look forward to it.

Awesome another boring jab clinic by Wlad.....

I get you man. The difference between you and him is that you're not racist (or a ****)

naaa,,,,pov isnt an awckward southpaw like wlads last 2 opponents so he'll have no problem letting the right fly

[kayjay]

He seems sturdy, But is open to right hands. And Wlads right hand is no joke, Povetkin will have to strengthen his defense or hope he has a great chin to make it 12 with Klitschko IMO.

Povetkin has never been hurt, but he came up fighting light punchers.

I don't see this going past the sixth round.
