Povetkin is out. Wlad will rematch peter instead!

[El Kabong]

What "Come on Lyle"?!? I think this is a very solid fight and as Dan Rafael said "Both fighters are better than they were in 2005", it should be a heck of a fight.

Teddy Atlas just basically admitted that he didn't want his boy to fight Wlad. Smart move by Teddy, but they do look like little punks for ducking like this. Blatantly ducking, and at such a high level...its a shame

[OumaFan]

It is without a doubt not a huge fight. Its absurdly far away from being a huge fight.

And Rafael's a moron if he thinks Peter's better than he was in 2005. His chin has been cracked somewhat and he's at best still the same guy other than that.

[El Kabong]

#1 When has Peter been in beter shape than his last fighy?

#2 Yes he's been hurt recently but Wlad was the first to hurt him and he's never been "KO'd" only TKO'd and McCline was no slouch.

I think its a great fight, Wlad and Sam have history, both know about the strengths and weaknesses of each other and I think both are desperate to prove themselves given past performances and news

[OumaFan]

Wlad cracked his chin if anyone did, I totally agree with that, but its been cracked, it hasn't looked the same since.

I thought he looked pretty awful last time out. He's going to get hammered. There's no need for any hype. HBO hopefully won't waste the money on televising it.

#1 Peter looked fantastic vs Aguillera

#2 Bernd Boente said Wlad said "he will never fight on HBO again" he said he would rather take less money and fight on Showtime or PPV or whatever because he feels HBO disrespected him in not carrying the Povetkin fight.

#3 Sam Peter is the last guy to hurt Wlad, its a big fight

Sam peter is a big fat joke bum.

Povetkin is now a bum too.

theres only one heavy weight fight people want to see.

I agree - but does Haye want to fight or what? I think Haye is thinking the same thing as povetkin.....

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Perhaps Haye & Povetkin will fight each other?

I think Haye does want to fight wlad. Haye has stated that the reason why the fight didn't happen is because Wlad wanted a cut of the brit PPV sales, where as haye wanted them for him self and let wlad have the money generated from PPV sales in his neck of the woods and everything else 50/50 and personally I think that was fair. Wlad wanted a cut or brit PPV though.

As long as no one beats haye or wlad anytime soon i'm confident the fight will happen.

#3 Sam Peter is the last guy to hurt Wlad, its a big fight

and Peter is also the Last Dangerous BANGER Wlad faced, (not trying to say that his competition was weak, he fought the best there was, but style-wise, all of Wlad's opponents were Boxers Think-ers, none of them was a DO-er like Peter)

not sure if it is a big fight, but if Peter comes in at around 225, then it can be an EXCITING fight...

Monte Barrett looked fantastic against David Tua, you think David Haye will give him a rematch too ?

Monte Barrett was the last guy to "Floor" Haye. So lets fukking get it on

1. Not to downplay what Monte accomplished but David Tua hasn't exactly been burning it up in the division recently.

2. Like Sam Peter, Monte Barrett is also still better than Audley Harrison.

3. Hornfinger, Sam Peter has lost to a roided up James Toney, Vitali Klitschko, and Eddie Chambers whom had the perfect style to beat him...what's the shame in that? Audley Harrison lost to Michael Sprott (is that right or was it Matt Skelton, I get them confused), Dominick Guinn, and Martin Rogan...they haven't been all that great recently have they?

And to repeat myself for those too ignorent to read my last post....

I think you need to go back and re reead the conversation then. Especially the bt where I point out your contradicting oppinions on the IBF ranking.

David Haye. He's the only fight any one wants to see.... BUT while that fight isn't happening we shouldn't be trying to convince ourselves that peter or whoever are going to make for a good competetive fight.

i'm not exactly filling the forum with posts saying how great an opponant Audley is for Haye.

[El Kabong]

No they were going to pool the PPV (British and other) money and split it in half, that's what we call 50/50.

[Hornfinger]

sorry but you are mis informed
