[JakeNDaBox]

With no more delays standing in the way of destiny, Wladimir Klitschko and Kubrat Pulev are finally ready for battle.

The two best heavyweights in the world collide Saturday evening in Hamburg, Germany. The bout will airlive in the United States on HBO (Saturday, 4:45 p.m. ET).

While weigh-ins are a mere formality for the heavyweight division—which has no cap—Friday's session was telling of the respect each fighter has for the other.

Klitschko (62-3, 52KOs) tipped the scales at 245.8 lb. for the 10th defense of his World lineal heavyweight championship, and 17th overall alphabet title defense. Pulev (20-0, 11KOs) came in at 246.9 lb., his lightest weight since May '12, when he came in at 245.5 lb. for his 11th round knockout of Alexander Dimitrenko in a breakthrough performance.

Good. I was worried Pulev would come in too light, but he didn't. He needs size and strength if he doesn't want to get muscled around.

Wlad demonstrates why he should be number 1 pound for pound... he continues to take on all challenges including young, undefeated fighters...

Maywather should be bumped out of the spot...

Vladimir is not only HW King, he should also be regarded as p4p no. 1.

Pd 4 Pd for fighting tomato cans or Pd 4 Pd for being HW Champ for almost a decade and HBO & Showtime would rather pay for a donkey show before they pay to put him on. Not his fault he's boring as hell...or is it. You'll never be pd for pd for jabbing a guy all night and putting the announce team to sleep.
