Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko: 'If Povetkin Passes, I'll Fight Sam Peter'

[Pirao]

If Povetkin dodges a fight again, it's official he's ducking Wlad.

[King Koopa]

Hell ****ING no!!!

There's Much more he can do here, E. Stewart, Vitali, somebody slap some sense into Wlad

If Haye and Povetkin don't fight you have

Denis Boytsov...no fight lined up

Tomas Adamek...vs Chris Arreola 4/24

Nicolay Valuev...no fight lined up/also no real highlights

Either way, it's Ukraine vs Russia...

Samuel Peter is NOT an option

[bojangles1987]

Meh, he already beat him. Hopefully he can get Haye in the ring, or Vitali will.

I am waiting for Klitschkos to fight the guys who don't look small and fat against them in the ring! Someone as large as Alexander Dimitrenko or Robert Helenius. Or even Valuev. Or vs. Tony Thompson II.

No disrespect to Povetkin, but this will probably end like Chagaev fight - a very good boxer but without any chances against Klitschko.

I am curious why there is no higher weight division for guys like Klitschkos. I suggest "giantweight" - above 105 kg (231 lbs) and at least 195 height (6 '4.77 ")

[vitali1999]

Wlad is even better now than he was when he fought Peter years ago, it would be a grose mismatch this time, last time is was exciting because of all the knockdowns.The Klitschkos just keep winning and winning and winning.

WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is not going to wait on David Haye or Alexander Povetkin to make up their minds on a possible fight. Klitschko is looking to fight Povetkin next, the IBF mandatory since 2008. If the unbeaten Russian fighter passes on the match, then Klitschko will look for the next highest available contender in the IBF rankings - Sam Peter. Klitschko won a decision over Peter in 2005. Peter had him down three times in the contest. Klitschko won most of the rounds with his boxing and had Peter hurt in the twelfth round. [Click Here To Read More]

Boytsov is not ready, he hasn't even faced decent competition, in fact Pulev who has 7 fights has faced better competition than him.

Winner of Adamek Arreola would be a great fight if it could be made.

Valuev is ducking the Klitschkos, he made ridiculous demands to not fight Vitali.

I don't think Sam Peter is a bad option if Haye and Poevtkin keep ducking Wlad, at least their first fight wasn't a blowout like all the guys Wlad has beaten lately. Oh, and people are always bitching that Wlad doesn't face big punchers, well Peter is a big puncher.

I think Pop, that you should put that misinformation to reast-for good. I refer to the supposed 3 KD's by Peter of W. Klitschko. I constantly see it. All you NEED to do is listen to the commentary, which correctly points out that the 1st KD was a blatant rabbit punch, directly to the back of Klitschko's neck. The second was an equally egregious shoulder clutch and push down.

As for the third, the only non foul, Klitschko fell backwards into the ropes, avoiding Sam's last desperate swing, bounced off the ropes to the canvas. The fact that he got up right away and continued his boxing lesson clearly shows that the punch either just missed, or just grazed. Take your pick, but Klitschko was NOT KD from the punch, he overbalanced and fell.

Fact should triumph fiction, but because it's a Klitschko, the negative seems to win out.

[$partacus]

I wouldn't mind seeing Wlad fight Arreola.
