I really want to see this fight happen even though I think it will be less competitive than the Wach fight.

So why do you want to see it happen? The Wach fight wasn't competetive at all, it was a one sided beating with surprisingly no KO (for whatever reason).

i've been waiting for this fight for years. there was a time when i would've supported povetkin, but now i just hope wlad knocks him spark out and ends his farce of a career for good.

Povetkin seemed like a real HW hope, something went wrong along the way. I wish he could do something at this stage, but it's just not plausible. But hey, let's see. He has a deep background, after all.

Isn't it obvious? I want to see Povetkin actually get in the ring with Wlad, instead of just talking about it to boost his name recognition. I want to rid the HW division of the "regular" champion.

It's politics, not Povetkin's fault man.

I have a bad feeling Povetkin-Klitschko won't happen because of the conflicting TV contracts.

No. A pursebid would ensure no conflicts. This is clearly a tactical maneuver on Sauerlands part. They know that K2 cannot afford to lose the bid and this 'threat' ensures a larger purse.

I disagree. He literally has turned it down before because he "wasn't ready". I know Atlas recommended it, but he still went along with it. Just not a big fan. I also have a hard time with him because I feel Huck was robbed when they fought. Just my opinion.

Povetkin is full of ****, he wants nothing to do with Wlad. He should have fought Wlad many times already. Wlad will KO Povetkin in mid-late rounds. Povetkin struggled with Marco Huck and was hurt as well I believe, and people really think this will be competitive?

He should have fought him twice, first time he pulled out with injury, another time he pulled out on the advice of his then trainer.
That he struggled with Huck doesn't make him a less competetive challenge. He has a lot of experience at this point and is undefeated in the pro ranks.
