In the future if Wladimir seeks to model the career of Lennox Lewis he had better take on a dangerous fighter and just whip the shit out of them...it can't be Sam Peter because Sam has already been dealt with by Wlad.

Alexander Povetkin right now seems to me to be the Andrew Golota of this era. He's a good solid fighter but he is well lacking in certain areas all of which Wladimir can expose. Wladimir needs a KO in the first 5 rounds of the fight and it needs to be on regular HBO and it needs to be either in Las Vegas or the Garden.

Wladimir needs what a Shannon Briggs or Evander Holyfield or Michael Grant were to Lennox Lewis' career and he needs to have exciting KO wins.

But you just can't plan how to fight a southpaw until you get in the ring with them...any little thing they do different than your sparring partners can really screw you up.


I honestly think they figured Sultan would run away from Wladimir and Wlad could chase him down and blast him out....Sultan fighting back didn't seem to fit well with the gameplan at all.
