Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin: I am Ready For Wladimir Klitschko

[King Koopa]

He will never be ready for WK too slow and takes too many punches

This.......no way he "roughs" his way into a win like he did Chambers

I saw Sultan Ibragimov absolutely obliterate Mora in one round at MSG a few years ago.

Mora is hardly a big test for Povetkin.

Povetkin will get KOd by either Klitschko.

Well, Mora does not seem exactly like a good preparation/test of readiness for a fight with Wladimir.

Very likely.

That's the point, isn't it? When you're working on changing your style you don't necessarily want to fight someone who is a big challenge.

[The Hammer]

Wlad will KO Povetkin when they finally fight.

[Boxingwizard]

Wlad will KO Povetkin if they fight.

fixed..

Nothing like a bout with Javier Mora to get you ready for Klitschko.

I'd have rather seen him fight guinn but I understand his & atlas' thinking on fighting mora.atlas was analyzing espn's first payperview.jameel mccline was in line for a title shot when he risked his ranking in a fight vs Calvin Brock.Brock won & shortly after Brock got a title shot vs wlad.povetkin won't risk his ranking.meehan did the same thing 2 years ago & all he did was beat davarryl williamson I believe.I'm just not sure if you are actually ready for a klitschko after your previous 3 fights are vs Nolan,mora,& estrada.he's earned his shot without a doubt but maybe the estrada fight should have been last.he hasn't fought a good guy since estrada.it's been a couple years since his chambers win.I hope he's ready mentally as well as physically.povetkins opponents have gotten weaker instead of better.chambers since the povetkin fight has beaten dimitrenko & peter leading into wlad.I believe chambers has a better chance vs wlad then povetkin.chambers has momentum,povetkin doesn't.
