Does Povetkin have a cold or just cold feet?

[El Kabong]

The sad thing about the heavyweights right now is that next to nobody is prepared to fight Wladimir much less challenge him. Povetkin, IF he fights Wlad, will just get the shit smacked out of him.

The most interesting parts of a Wlad-Povetkin fight are:
1. Is Wlad going to go for the early KO or is he going to go for punishment
2. Can Povetkin take a punch from Wlad
3. What role will Teddy Atlas play and how will he handle Povetkin getting destroyed

Listen, when Wlad beats Povetkin, I wouldn't get too down on him, I favor him against most heavy's not named Klitschko.

1. Wlad doesn't go for the early KO anymore, he'll stop him late.
2. Povetkin can take a punch from Wlad, but not for a whole fight.
3. Teddy knows he is the underdog here. He's hoping Povetkin makes it the full 12 and takes a couple early rounds. That's the best he can hope for.

Povetkin seemed to feel ok when he helped Teddy with Keys to victory on FNF last Friday.
