Wladimir vs Povetkin will be the real "The One"

[El Kabong]

Yup. We all saw what happens to Wlad when he fights "live" guys- Sanders (when Sanders was priming); Brewster (when Brewster had the punch output of a Middleweight); and Sam Peter (who, even though Wlad beat him both times, had a crazy work rate for a Heavyweight before he got lazier and lazier as the years progressed).

Povetkin is not a high punch output kinda guy. No one in the division, except for Arreola (who really could use some power power and keep up his training regimen in Arizona) AND Bryant Jennings throws the amount of punches in bunches that would cause Wlad problems.

I know we always hear about Deontay Wilder, but sadly we haven't seen much of his boxing skills because he's been sparking everyone. What if Wilder has a weak chin? What if Wilder can't last in a tough 10 rounds? What if he is the type that tires by the 6th and is easy pickings for someone who can throw combinations with effectiveness?

At least we know Arreola and Jennings (especially Jennings, who apparently can fight 20 rounds at the same pace I feel) can last a tough 12 rounder- and in some instances, pick up steam. Wilder hasn't shown us that yet.

So, yes- Wlad by a beatdown on Povetkin. Povetkin may quit on his stool like Ruslan Chagaev did. But by between the 8th and 10th rounds we will be able to see what's up with Povetkin.

Brewster had the punch output of a middleweight.....No WLAD was the one throwing the punches in that fight not Brewster until about the 4th round. Also guys have tried and tried and tried to repeat what Sanders, Brewster, and Purrity did vs Wladimir and they couldn't not because they sucked as fighters but because Wlad learned and adapted.

What are you on about "When Sanders was "priming" "....Sanders was a shot fighter when Wlad fought him, Wlad looked past him and paid the price. Sanders certainly wasn't "in his prime" he was at the tail end of his career, r.i.p.

Povetkin will be done by 6, he's not strong enough and too easy to hit.

Age has nothing to do with a fighter priming... in fact, as with Sergio Martinez and Hopkins, Sanders had a better tail end of a career. To some extent with Lennox Lewis as well.

He won A fight....singular....that doesn't make a prime. I will grant you that he had great unrealized potential, but his disdain for training and his love of golf kept him from achieving a great deal as a boxer.

Sanders is a much under appreciated boxer :S sure he didnt look like much but he was pretty tall had long arms and had a very good punch, underestimate him and you'd be in for a rough time for sure... I think he could have ko'd a lot of complacent heavyweights from all eras.... he even wobbled vitali when he was still a youngish man !


anyway povetkin is just made for wladimir... going by his previous problems... he is just so easy to jab and hit in general... wlad ko's him easy
