OK, whatever

What's the deal with all these qualifiers? In shape AND dangerous....well it's also been a while since Wlad fought a white Jamaican too . Recently Wlad fights the guys that are his mandatories because SOMEONE wouldn't take a fight with him. Ruslan Chagaev was an unknown quantity due to his injury and only a 20 some fight record but I would venture to say he was "in shape" and in being unknown I would say he was kind of dangerous. Eddie Chambers at 209 was "in shape" sure he carries extra weight in order to actually be a heavyweight but he's in shape. Tony Thompson was in shape albeit he wasn't dangerous with power but he is most assuredly dangerous in terms of style. Sultan Ibragimov was in shape and dangerous although he certainly didn't fight like it. Sultan has fast hands and his career shouldn't be judged solely on how he fought Wlad or Ray Austin.

Does Povetkin qualify as "in shape" or "dangerous" He's next on the hit list......when has the WBA title holder fought an "in shape" and "dangerous" heavyweight......I would venture to guess NEVER
