Well everyone is bitching that Wladimir needs to KO someone....Briggs runs his mouth, they have a history of not liking each other and Shannon can be KO'd.

Povetkin won't stand a chance but it's not because Wlad holds....and frankly thats bullshit Wlad didn't get 44 KO's by holding people.

Wladimir hasn't been punched by a 300 pounder but VALUEV got rocked by Monte Barrett! Imagine seeing a 7 foot 300 pound fighter dropped like a sack of hammers!

If Thompson was marketable he would have had a title shot by now. Thompson is a solid cagey veteran and he'll be a tough fight but he has NEVER fought anyone of Wlad's calibre
