I think Wlad should let Alexander Povetkin fight someone else for the IBF title, and fight Eddie Chambers instead.
1. The fight would be on HBO because Chambers is American, and is known now in Europe with today's big win over Dimitrenko
2. The fight would create more buzz in North America
3. Chambers has more professional experience
4. There would be no problems with RTL vs. ARD TV rights
5. Chamber's promoter Goossen is easier than Sauerland for Wlad to do business with, negotiations will not cause Wlad unnecessary headaches
6. If Povetkin were to fight someone else for the IBF title and win, that would make a Povetkin vs. Wladimir fight in 2010 bigger and more financially lucrative than it would be this fall.
