Good news!

If Wlad fights Povetkin in the summer, there's a good chance he'll have time to take a third fight this year in the late fall - hopefully against David Haye.

David Haye is wrapped up in mandatories. Remember when I proved the Haye FANagers wrong by showing that Haye signed a rematch clause with Valuev? So you can forget about a Wlad fight, even though Haye doesn't want the fight regardless.

Haye will either be fighting Valuev after Ruiz, or Ruiz again when he loses, or the winner of Chagaev/Meehan.

Don't forget this guy: fighting tonight!

Uh, tomorrow night I believe unless you're in some time zone where it's the 31st already.

Im happy they may fight. This fight always intrigued me. Just wish Vitali would have fought a big namer

Tua is a good fighter, But thats it. Even in his prime he wouldnt beat the K-2 Bros right now.

This one is overdue. I think Povetkin makes it interesting, but goes down in the late rounds just like Chambers.

Povetkin presents the most serious threat Wlad has faced since Sam Peter. I know he's fought better fighters than Peter, but I'm talking threats. Chris Byrd was a better fighter than Peter, but Peter's power was a tough task for Wlad.

I think Povetkin needs to train extremely hard if he expects to have a chance though. No coming in the ring looking soft, as he sometimes does. He needs to be physically and mentally ready to go 12 rounds with Wlad.

I would favor Wlad, but again Povetkin is the most serious challenge he's faced in a while.

It's about time. Povetkin's been putting this off for far too long, and I'm glad he's been given an ultimatum. Still, he should have known this was coming sooner or later and he's only got himself and his team to blame if he isn't ready for Wlad. Seriously, who the hell does Taurus Sykes, Leo Nolan, Jason Estrada and Javier Mora prepare you for? Short, fat, slow heavyweights with D class skills. Yeah, nice one Alex. I'm sure you'll give Wlad hell.

I'm not, but Tua is.

He'd still give them a better fight than Povetkin, especially now that's
he working with Roger Bloodworth.
