    Such hype about Povetkin a year or so ago, and now look at him - only fought once in the space of a year, and has wasted TWO title shots against Wlad. He's as much a hypejob as Haye, but at least the latter has an exciting style and CW credentials at pro to boast about. Povetkin's gold medals in the ams don't impress me much, nor does his boring flat-footed style.

    I'm sticking with Dimitrenko. I still like him.

      Dimintrenko got his ass kicked by Chambers. Povetkin at least beat Chambers. He hasn't done anything of note since.

      And here's a better question. Why the F is Wlad going to wait 9 friggin months to fight Chambers? For F sakes. F HBO. Fight on ESPN if you have to. I thought 6 months for that idiot Haye was bad enough.

        Muh. I still find Dimitrenko more fun to watch than Povs. The latter just pisses me off for some reason.

          What next for Dimitrenko, while we're on the subject of missing boxers? I think one of the reasons he didn't fare well against Chambers was, that his promoter (Universum?) kept him on the shelve when he should have been in the ring gaining experience and confidence. Look at Chambers, post Povetkin loss, he was back in the ring fighting relatively frequently against good opposition...

            He is smowhere hiding from John Ruiz like most heavyweights. Valuev and Chagaev did.

              I think Povetkin is a big ass hype job. He'll get knocked out by either Klitschko.

                I'm hoping for a rematch against Chambers. But Povetkin isn't really helping himself by fighting in December.

                  Yes he is, rightnow john ruiz is still the best heavyweight in the world with Vitali, Wladimir is overrated and would get KO by Ruiz.
