By Dan Ambrose: Next Saturday night in Moscow, Russia, IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (60-3, 51 KO’s) has a decent test in WBA champion Alexander Povetkin (26-0, 18 KO’s) on October 5th. For Wladimir, this could a really easy fight because Povetkin is small, slow, not powerful and he lacks stamina to fight hard without gasping for breath.
Povetkin has never been in with anyone half as good as Wladimir, and this is going to be a huge step up for the 34-year-old Povetkin. He probably would have been beaten long ago had he fought good opponents.
It’s really been a long time since Povetkin was in with a good opponent because the last 5 years, Povetkin’s promoters have been taking it easy on him by putting him in with weak opposition.

Wladimir has a history of chin problems when facing an opponent with good power and an ability to apply a lot of pressure on him. Povetkin has good power and he’s very good at pressuring his opponents.

The heavyweight division in boxing has been a residence for greats like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Evander Holyfield, and Mike Tyson. But now the lower weight classes receive greater glorification and attention, and the majority of American heavyweights chose football or basketball instead. And in recent years, the heavyweight division has been one of the most boring divisions in boxing, and if you were suffering from insomnia, watching a heavyweight clash could be the cure.
By Ivan Ivanov: The heavyweight division may have to be reinvented to make it marketable and if this means reinventing professional boxing, it may take a while. Mike Tyson once said in an interview that boxing must be taken over by the government so that it can get back to normalcy.
