Povetkin Wants Wladimir Next – Step Aside Not An Option

[joe strong]

Yes i like boytsov, demitrenko, povetkin The brothers, Chagaev, heck i even like Valuev to a sertain degree. Its not my fault americans do not dominate heavywieght boxing anymore, you may dislike it, but i rather quite enjoy it, you bloody wanker

There is a reason why hbo doesn't air the klits fights & even showtime doesn't touch them.they want wars not boring nickel & dime snoozefest like they provide.we want action!

i understand you and why hbo didnt take the klitschko chagaev fight, they had the haye klitschko fight very hyped up and they also knew that they will have to televise klitschko povetkin so they choose to back away from the chagaev fight, smart I guess. I agree that people want wars and as a Klitschko fan I also want better more exciting fights but Wlad did what he had to do, but going for an outstanding knockout against a guy like Chagaev can be dangerous and thats what Wlad was thinking eventhough Im sure nothing bad would have happen but Wlad has come a long way and Im sure his losses to Sanders and Brewster didnt go away in his mind and it takes one slip up to loose everything again and its not worth risking everything just because some american hw fans want to see quicker knockouts or what have you.

I hear what you are saying.a wins a win.even lennox lewis had some snoozefests as well but the Rahman,grant,golota early blowouts happened as well.the Austin fight was a joke but other than that fight wlad had never totally obliderated a top contender.wlad is 10 times better now but he takes no risks,& isn't aggressive enough.he's 6'7 245lbs & in better shape than any heavyweight I EVER saw so in many fans eyes especially Americans there is no reason for him to be tactical.it's his chin & mentally he is to afraid to lose & that's why people want arreola & haye.they go for the devastating knockout every second of their fights.they will take a big punch & risk getting knocked down to land the bomb.wlad totally refuses & that's why he's lost his luster.north American fans are different than European & Asian fans that's all.golota had been stopped in the 1st round 3 times but could pack MSG.why large polish community & that buzz of what is going to happen tonite? You already know now what is going to happen when wlad fights...a robotic,tactical fencing match(jab contest).that's why people want haye or arreola because they will be in wlads kitchen & the possibilty of a corrie sanders type knockout could happen & they want to see wlad be a champion not a chicken.Rahman got floored by sanders twice but got off the canvas to win & beat lewis his next fight & wlad was in the same bout he had a lewis fight next if he beat sanders but he couldn't get up after sanders floored him.people like wlad but don't feel he's a warrior & that's what most people watch boxing for a WAR.boxing is a sport of hurt not finess & that's how wlad fights with finess.

well lennox lewis in most of his last bouts faught the same way, people were fine with lewis fighting like that, I agree with everything and I dont know if wlad will loosten up a bit in his next few fights, there have been glimpses of good fights, the am peter fight was good as well as the brock fight, even the smack down against austin showed that wlad is no bull****t but the latest few bouts have been a bit boring

Don't forget lewis was booed for years & it took him about 7 years for the fans to warm up to him.the grant & golota fights really got the fans to warm up to him.those were 1st rounders & he was devastated by Rahman but came back & obliterated Rahman in the rematch but he never took a rematch with sanders instead his brother cleaned up the mess.hardly the way to get the fans to back you.he shouldve taken an immediate rematch but didn't.the Brock fight was a onesided drubbing not a slugfest.at least vitali had 1 slugfest in his career vs lewis.that LOSS did more for vitali than any of his wins.even title wins.

[Esquire Dale]

Just another overweight Soviet fighter that's going to stand infront of wladimir.

It's just a case of how many rounds Klitschko will wait before jabbing him to death.

There's only one fight out there. HAYE.

Stop fighting these overweight russians vlad. Fight a real ****ing athlete. Fight Haye.

Lewis was fighting against A opposition. He had to wear them down and suss them out.

Wlad is fighting guys he could KO in the first round if he wanted too. The fat soviet slugs..

But he choses to drag it on. Even though they are infront of him like a punchbag.

Anyone seen round 8 of the chagaev fight? Ahahahah. He throws 11 punches the whole round.

Wlad is a boring joke of a heavyweight champion.

Over 50 fights and not one great win or exiting fight.

Name one great win in 50 fights? Fair enough if it's not his fault but people cant consider him a fighter than could match up to other heavyweight champions of the past. The guy's been knocked out twice and has never been ANYBODY.

that was before but after the Rahman,Austin fights they are only going to air him vs haye,arreola,povetkin no one else

[Boxingwizard]

Povetkin's smothering style might be a problem for Wlad, he obviously doesn't want to fight on the inside which Povetkin would like to do. And who knows Wlad might get overconfident. Wlad makes his fights look so easily, but I know he gets tired of the jab, jab, jab, jab, right hand. Wlad will eventually have to one day open up.
