Comments Thread For: Team Povetkin Await Wladimir Klitschko's Decision

[Pirao]

This is it.. Povetkin vs. Klitschko isn't far away now. Povetkin is the toughest opponent Klitschko has faced in a long time, and probably the only heavyweight capable of winning a UD over either Klitschko brother.

Povetkin win a UD against the Klitschkos? I highly doubt that.

Totally and completely incorrect. Povetkin is fighting nobodies right now, and not looking at all good doing it. You cannot be serious.

I agree. Povetkin is - despite two years of delay - not yet ready for a Klitschko. He is too open, not tall enough to compete, and brings not enough power/pressure to make Wlad panic or falter. Sasha has the raw skills to be there in 2-3 years, but not yet. But time is not on his side- he's 30 already.

And I agree on Haye, too. He is dangerous with his speed and power, until he eats a few dozen jabs. Then, he'll tire and enter survival mode or quit. Or he goes for the Hayemaker-KO (TM) and gets KOd by Wlads counter. But the fight would probably be very boring - Wlad will fight even more reluctant, 'cause he knows Haye might pull off the "Sanders".

Haye pulling off a Sanders would be sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

Corrie Sanders is more skilled then David Haye.

Yup, Corrie Sanders would kill David Haye. I wonder when will Haye fight anyone outside of Ruiz and Valuev? He'll probably try to duck Chagaev because he's too dangerous for Haye.

Not sure about that... Haye is a pretty sneaky puncher. And he moves well, ducks punches well... Sometimes he becomes a bit wild, but so did Sanders...

But Sanders had some great advantages Haye won't have : height, southpaw stance (which was great for cancelling Wlad's jab), and an edge in power probably.

I am worried about povetkin because he is a gold medalist, and he is not ready?? You learn on the job - i honestly think he can do it because its all about ring IQ - that is what the trainer instills, he already has heart (trainer can't teach you that). i just think his team is over analyzing this guy, yes he makes mistakes, but the question is does he adjust on the fly? I think teddy is a good coach as far as studying tape and countering weeknesses - if you watch dude on espn fights - he is dead on with fighter strategy analysis ( in the powel vs latimore fight he said that powell likes to lay on his left shoulder perfect for the right cross) bam thats what hurt powell in the fight, but he made the adjustment and eventually won the fight - Povetkin needs to get his feet wet and accept this challenge period!!! in another 2 - 3 years dude will be 32 or 33 years old - he is in his prime right now

Povetkin is in his physical prime... Not skillwise...

Why such animosity for the Klitschko's might I ask?

You do realize picking Chambers to beat Klitschko or even last the fight shows what pathetic boxing knowledge you posses right.

Arreola is better than Povetkin.
