    While this is very true it's even more true that many more find him boring, which is why boxing conglomerate sat him on the bench.

      Well yep people have different opinions. I think this fight will be better than some people think.

Don't expect he'll be the same Povetkin as against Huck. Many things gone wrong for Povetkin but if he can put it together he is a real threat.

          Dwyer actually picks Povetkin to beat Wlad.

          This is a very good fight.

          EDIT: LOL! Did Dwyer really pick Povetkin? LMFAO.
          Dwyer said he thought Tony Thompson would beat Wlad...THE SECOND TIME. I think he also picked Haye against Wlad.

          Maybe but I doubt it completely. I've never seen Povetkin box like that. Ever. I don't think he has the ability to box off the back foot defensively like Ibragimov did. Ibragimov had more defensive skill than I've ever seen out of Povetkin.

            Usually some channel like epx shows the bout. I heard HBO has had a problem with the quality of opponents Wlad fights, but Povetkin is one of his better challengers so maybe they will take interest in a one fight deal.

              Are you trying to convince Klitschko fans the Klitschko's are boring,or are you trying to convince yourself ? I'm intrigued to hear the answer from yourself.

              Also reading back through your comments,it appears you haven't missed a Klitschko fight in maybe a decade,with all your up to date knowledge of them.another question there then I suppose,do you watch all the fights or jut repeat what you're told about them by others that do with them,yet find them boring like yourself.

              I would be interested to hear from you,so you can represent a fair debate.

                  Wlad has convinced myself and many others he's boring more times than not. I couldn't care less what you believe, I'm just sharing my opinions and knowledge about the subject at hand.

                  No, I have seen all available Klit fights because I'm a fan of the sport. I've seen all of Floyds fight too and I flat out can't stand him. I wouldn't pay to see either him or Wlad though.

                  So what exactly is it you're looking to debate?

                    So you watch their fights to add factual accuracy to your reasoning and rhetoric ? I admire that.Id be happy to discuss facts with you.facts and records.
                    If you don't admire a studious and meticulous breaking down of an opponent,4 times out of 5 resulting in a KO, then I suppose I'll agree to disagree with you regarding both Klitschko brothers.I've alway been a fan of both brothers,they back up what they're selling.and have done for a long time now.

                    Floyd is one of the most successful boxers ever,why would you dislike him ? Is it because of his success ? I'm only presuming as you clearly don't like another pair of successful boxers in Vladimir and Vitali !

What is a university educated fellow doing taking photos of himself then editing them in paint shop to post them on boxing forums. Is this what they taught you at uni or did you study something else entirely different ? It would be interesting to here what field it is in which you have studied.
