    i dunno, if eddie gets moving big time and keeps his defence tight i can see him giving wlad a decent fight

    eddie would need to condition himself like crazy, even coming in at 203 or so would be good, because he'd need to move laterally non stop for the whole fight, and move around wlad, catch him as he turns etc

    like what my trainer who is russian says when i spar big guys

    he always says "you little weight, you move you hard to hit, you stand still you easy hit"

    thats the basic principle of what eddie needs to do, if he moves, wlad is gonna have difficulty catching him, if he stands still......its all over

      moving might be enough to survive (which is what Ibragimov did), but that alone may not be enough to offer a competitive resistance; i guess one should be able to fire very well while moving ...

        I don't think he'd win but I'd give him a shot. I think Chambers would do better against Vitali who looked a little sloppy in his last fight. Chambers needs to be able to succeed where other heavyweights have failed, in getting in range to fire a shot that lands on the Klit bros. I think he'd be able to do it for Vitali but Wlad is iffy because his guard is so good right now...

          exactly... if it were not for the middle 10 rounds Eddie "took off", the outcome could have been completely different... Povetkin should have permitted Eddie to hit him at will and stopped throwing punches, so that Eddie had an easier time letting his hands go.
