Hate and Loath?????

Seriously, can people knock off all the hyperbole? It's so annoying.

I wonder who Wlad will fight in November?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of options for that month, although more people will be available in early 2012.

I'm hoping Povetkin mans up and becomes willing to fight Wlad after he wins the decision over Chagaev.

Or Dimitrenko drops the unnecessary fight with Sprott and fights Wlad instead.

There are some people willing, but too old: Toney, Boswell, McCall, and Holyfield.

Jean-Marc Mormeck might be available, and he's coming off two wins over fringe contenders. No doubt the Klitschko haters will b1tch and b1tch about it if Wlad chooses to fight him.

Mormeck: I watched his recent fight with Timur Ibragimov and thought he lost and got a hometown gift. Ibragimov might have a better chance vs Wlad, IMO.

Povetkin: Teddy will work his parasitic magic and drain Povetkin of any confidence before he fights Chaggy -- Povetkin's next fight will be in the Olympics where he recently said he wanted to return to.

Watch for Ruslan to pull off the very mild upset.

Maybe Wlad should flip a coin and grant the wish of either Toney or Evander, and get at least one of them out of boxing for good???

Im no hater but im no fan either. Wach has looked slow when ive seen him and im not really sold on the fact that he KO'd an elephant in McBride.

He can improve but...

I'm not saying Wach is as good, but there is another Euro fighter of about the same height, awkward, supposedly "slow," with very good power, who has done OK for himself, even though he got ripped a lot on his way up much as Wach is now being cut to ribbons by haters.

Which is to say: the haters are often wrong.

Would that be Povetkin or Dimirtenko?

...funny thing is, im a big fan of both. Maybe in time i'll end up liking Wach too.

EDIT - I have no idea how tall Wach is.

I was thinking of Vitali. I heard all the same things about him. But he's done very well for himself.

Wach is not another Vitali, but he doesn't have to be. If he can maximize his assets and minimize his flaws, he can do very well.
