    gatagata, your name is not DWiens421... read the poll options closer next time!

    Sorry, I forgot to put that this thread assumes that Klitschko will beat Povetkin, as most think he will.

    Anyone want to offer up feedback on why they voted the way they did? I think it's an interesting question.

    Chagaev and Ibragimov fight pretty similarly in my opinion... defensive southpaw counterpunchers.

    Povetkin is anything but... a swarming pressure fighter from what I remember.

      I think that style wise Povetkin actually presents a couple challenges so I voted Povetkin-Chagaev-Ibragimov.

      Though people are constantly critical of the competition level in the Heavyweight Division I don't know that any Heavyweight Champ in history has so easily defeated 3 guys with such illustrious Amateur Careers.

      The most impressive part about the series of victories is that likely Wlad will beat Povetkin easily and be able to claim that he really did not lose a single round in any of the 3 fights. That's pretty impressive when you consider that these opponents are as Technically skilled as anyone in the division even if they are lacking in natural athleticism.

        I don't even feel like they lack natural athleticism... They just didn't have the size, and Klitschko doesn't get enough credit for having easily the best gameplan ever for limiting people's ability to get inside.
