        I think it's a toss up between Povetkin and Dimitrenko.

          Povetkin if he can get himself together.

          I think Haye could have been good, but he's getting thrown to the lions a little to early. I think Wlad's gonna make him look like an amateur. It's a shame too, cause physically, he's the most gifted.

            I guess Dimitrenko could beat Valuev, Haye has a shot against Wlad, Johnson has the best chance of any American IMO but he'll be over 30 by the time he gets a shot.

              Fast Eddie Chambers is by far the most talented heavyweight out there right now. He just needs to get his conditioning under control.

                Yes.

                Povetkin had a bit more one-punch power and moved his head a little faster to get out of the way, he'd be an awesome fighter. He has a great workrate, throws nice combinations and can throw hard, accurate punches from all different angles.

                Dimitrenko has always had potential but used to get hit too much. He's looked better against Rossy and Krasniqi, and has the basic tools to become a champion.

                Chambers definitely has talent and will make a mark on the division in the years to come.

                  Both Povetkin and Dimitrenko also got some good handspeed.

                  But, I been thinking a little about it and I think my vote will go to Povetkin. Although he's got less fights, I think he is the more expierenced of the 2, and also a better fighter.
