Wladimir Klitschko vs Aleksander Powetkin

[LacedUp]

Loosing to Wlad is no shame and not a sign fighter should retire.
IMO he would beat Pulev and Fury atm and would give Haye a very tough fight which could go either way.

No shame at all! But the beating he might take could propel him into retirement. Or just because he lost his 0, he could go down the same route as ibragimov.

I don't think he would beat either of the three. I have never been sold on Povetkin.

But he might do of course. They would all be good fights.

powetkin was outboxed by marco huck. ****** fight against a bum.

yea,,,that was a very bad performance but I think hes looked a lot better since then,,,altho his opponents have been bad,,so who knows for sure. I just think it was an off night for him. we shall see

Completely agree with you here. Povetkin hasn't shown in any of his fights, the levels to compete with Wladimir. He hasn't fought the proper opposition, and mainly has been hyped due to 1) his gold medal and 2) because he's being bigged up as the best of the rest. Everybody wants to find a credible opponent for Wlad and when Haye flunked it became Povetkin. After Povetkin it will be Pulev.

I don't believe in either. Povetkin is a good fighter, and would probably be competitive with most others. But the fight with Huck still rings alarm bells as far as I'm concerned.

I think he'll go out on his shield but ultimately be stopped in six.

yea,,the huck fight does sound alarm bells. im chalking it up due to an off night and looking past huck,,,but I could be wrong
