Finally Wladimir Klitschko faces a live opponent since David Haye in 2011. Seems like Wladimir Klitschko likes facing bums like Pianetta and Wach, or Mormeck when he is old and shot. He only picks challenges when he is forced too as a mandatory. Let's not forget his brother Vitali disgraceful ducking of Haye for 2 years now.
Anyway let's move onto the 2nd biggest heavyweight fight of the year Wladimir vs Povetkin. Povetkin is a come forward pressure fighter with good punching power. He has the style to beat Wladimir if he is allowed to fight inside. This is why the referee is so important in the fight to not let Wladimir illegally hold his opponent whenever they get close to him. K2 did not win the purse bids so wont be able to hand pick the referee like they normally do. Hopefully there is a strict referee that deducts points or even disqualifies Wladimir if he tries to hold too much. Wladimir is good at judging distance and has the footwork to get out of punching range whenever a opponent throws. Povetkin is a live underdog but has been unconvincing in recent performances like Huck who arguably won the fight. I think Wlad breaks Povetkin down to a late stoppage.

cant stand the klitchkos, they get such a easy ride from the genereal media because of their nice attitudes ignoring the fact they fight complete bums and overmatched opponents on a regular

Not sure i agree 100%, especially with them fighting bums.
so name someone who they should have fought over the past five years then guys?
Pianette was ranked in the top ten in the world and undefeated. Battered.
Haye was the next big thing at heavy. Outclassed.
Samuel Peter the hard punching Nigerian. Spanked (vitali).
Chisora talks himself into a fight. UD
Charr. Signed to fight David Haye with no comments from here. Yet vitali stopped him.
should we bring back lennox Lewis, evander holyfield, riddick bowe, Ali and Holmes just to text the two brothers?
they have beaten the very best of a poor division. Its that simple.

Haye wasnt champion when he signed to fight Charr. Peters was world champion so Vitali had to fight him to win the belt. They only take on the best when they are forced too or when the money is too good like Haye

Not really mate.
like i said. The division is very very poor. In the past three years Wladamir would have fought Haye, Pattiena, Povetkin, Mormeck, Thompson. They are literally the best there are to fight.
who is better in the current top ten then those mentioned? None.
Its a poor division lacking in talent apart form Haye and the Klitschkos.
Oh, and i think povetkin gets stopped in 6.

He could have fought better than the likes of Pianetta, Wach and Mormeck. Why didn't Wlad fight Chisora instead of Mormeck. He owed Chisora a fight yet got big bro to do the job for him as Chisora style could cause Wladimir problems.
