Alexander Povetkin, the Future of Boxing

[!!Captain]

I woulden't be surprised if Russians dominate boxing within the next 10 years. The mob is getting interested and so are Russian businessman. There will be much more money available for aspiring Russian boxers.

I wouldn't say "dominate" but I strongly believe that boxers from former soviet republics, mainly Russia and Ukraine, will be a major force in boxing within the next 5 years. We already have Tszyu, Jirov, Klitschkos, Valuev, and Karmazin, and this is only the beginning.

As for the rest of you "clean ruskies out" people, we will talk in 5 years.

Yes Boxing2005, I too think the former Soviet boxers will be a major force within the next years. Boxing2005, sometimes I feel they will become too much of major forces, and will eventually have to fight against each other to see who is truly the best. Klitschko against Ibragimov, there is a very good chance this will occur, especially if Vladimir becomes the heavyweight champion very soon. I dont want them to fight each other! Ibragimov is very tough to beat!

I read somewhere Valuev wants to fight Vladimir. This could happen in April!

I don't think Wlad will fight either Ibragimov or Valuev unless it's for unification. But, you never know...
