Wladimir vs Povetkin will be the real "The One"

[p4pking]

Povetkin is going to get beaten just as badly.

even worse cause Wlad will most likely get the stoppage win, and not just settle for the UD

That's hardly fair to say, Wlad makes Mayweather look like Mike Tyson as far as offensive output, he is far more cautious and timid. He stops everyone because he is bigger, hits really hard, and all of his opponents suck. It's not because he pushes for the KO or takes big risks, anything but. If Wlad ever fought anyone as good as Canelo he would lose, never mind settle for a UD.

That alone is hardly fair to say as you put it, because Haye was hyped up to be the rebirth of Mike Tyson, just as Canelo has been hyped up to be more of a JCC Jr than well the actual JCC Jr, Wlad has beaten up EVERYONE presented to him, he's beaten EVERY top 10 fighter and well done it with ease, he's not the one making the rankings, he can't help if he's far superior against everyone else, and fact of the matter is he breaks every one of his opponents down, even the ones not smaller than him for example the not so small Tony Thompson who sparked the hype job that was David Price, twice

and also on that same note lets not use side advantages as a factor while trying to build up Canelo and break down Wlad, because a perfect example of a man who knows how to use his size and well one who can't do a thing with it when it really counts

Welterweights are ALWAYS "better" than HW's, is the thing. Of course Wlad beats everyone and that's all he can do, but he is still very cautious, much moreso than Floyd is. On the size thing it goes both ways since Wlad will likely never meet a good fighter bigger than him, there is nobody he could fight who presents the same challenges that Alvarez does to a welterweight.

you don't mean BETTER, you mean MORE ENTERTAINING, big difference, Wlad always uses his height and reach to maximize his advantage, Canelo had size and weight on Floyd and never was able to impose himself even when he had him on the ropes, both Klitschko's get ragged on way too much, especially Wlad, when both guys always fight what's available and don't do any cherry picking, not their fault that other fighters choose not to step up or that the division is crap, as stated before, Povetkin avoided a fight with Wlad as long as he could, now he's apparently gonna cash it in and take his loss

[p4pking]

No I actually do mean better. Big men can't possibly operate at the same level and pace, it's bio mechanics. Any solid welterweight will have skills that would be very rare for a HW to possess.

What Wlad is doing now is what folks blamed Roy Jones Jr. for doing for YEARS... lololol... the minute Roy started to please the boxing writers, it was the beginning of the end.

Roy should have retired after the first Tarver fight. In fact, he should have had a rematch with Ruiz and then shitted off into championship glory!!!

There will be a decent undercard.

- Masternak-Drozd is an excellent matchup of top ten cruiserweights.
- Chagaev-Pular is a semi-final WBA eliminator, the winner will face Luis Ortiz to be the next WBA mandatory. Pudar is a good test to see if Chagaev is able to make a final run.
- Chakhkiev-Ilie is a very good comeback fight for Rakhim, after his tough loss to Wlodarczyk
- Chudinov-Avendano: a 30-9, 22 KO opponent is a good test for the 7-0 Chudinov.

It would be nice if they added one more HW fight to the undercard, but it's very good as it is.

I hope BoxNation doesn't have the boring John Rawling on Saturday.

He dislikes mainland European boxers, and his monotone voice can make an exciting fight seem dull.

I am glad I get to see it, Rawling is OK

Povetkin is tailor mad for Wlad. No head movement, not much speed, throws combinations without much power behind it. Oh trust me he dont want to throw too much combinations on Wlad cuz he gona get countered with something big.

Id be shocked if he makes it to 12..

Agreed it should be a comprehensive win for Wlad.
