Yes, we must never forget the great talent who was Leon Spinks.

answer this question brothers:

did leon spinks turn out to be a great fighter?

most of these guys wlad is contemplating on fighting arent even ranked top 10 in any organisation. my point is leon spinks actually accomplished something more than being a domestic wonder with a decent record. chisora has done nothing..except on a domestic level

He can only consider fighters who will actually fight him. Povetkin, Haye, Valuev all have their excuses. Wlad is fighting 3/4 times a year in a weakish division, and on top of that we've got some top 10 heavy's not willing to get in there with him. There's going to be some weakish defences in there. At least he's clearing out the deadwood.

thats a good point

panda would rather he would face adamek and vitali's leftovers than up and comers though but it is what it is. according to main events adamek will try to secure a fight with wlad next year

I would laugh if Oruh upset Povetkin!

War Teke!

C'mon, Povetkin used to be one of your fav fighters a couple years back. I know you hate Atlas but that shouldn't make you hate Povetkin. I'm hoping Teddy and Sascha 'mesh' well together and he improves and gets back to beating top opponents...

I won't support a coward.

Teddy can advise him not to fight Wladimir, but in the end, it's Povetkin's decision.

I hope Teke KOs him, but he's somewhat passive so it probably won't happen.

Povetkin used to be one of my favorite fighters as well, with the way he came on in the beginning - SHW Olympic Gold, stellar amateur career winning all world titles multiple years in a row, then took on Donald, Chambers, and Byrd, and turned mandatory for Wlad all while having less than 20 pro fights, then something happened...something terrible that sapped all his heart and courage and level of opponents - Teddy Atlas. He turned a superb fighter who was rapidly climbing the charts and facing tough opposition into one of the biggest jokes, now facing guys like Oruh. How do you go from beating Chambers type of opponents to facing the Oruhs of the division? Just ask Teddy Atlas, he'll tell you. All this talk by Atlas of how he can take any HW and mold them to beat a Klitschko, is hogwash - 1) No one can beat a Klitschko right now other than another Kltischko 2) He'll ruin Povetkin and turn him from stellar prospect into a washed-up bum.

All you hear Teddy ever say is that he isn't ready everytime the topic of Povtekin is mentioned. After hearing his trainer say that it sure isn't much of a confidence builder so no wonder Povetkin doesn't want to fight Wlad now after hearing his own trainer saying he isn't good enough.

cool story,yeah.
