    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    He's cocky, he thinks he's invincible, and he's thoroughly overrated too, I'm hoping Byrd wins.

    Yes, he should. He's an athlete and he owes it to the fans and to his sport so he should be professional and do it.

    He looks doughy but it doesnt seem to affect his workrate, which is pretty solid...He looks like the kind of guy who just won't look cut regardless, Holmes had a similar shape

    So this is the NORM for Povetkin???:dunno: ...

    Ibragimov ISN'T Chiseled Either, but REED has NEVER Seen him Look Fatigued in a Fight...

    Looks AIN'T Everything...

    Povetkin weighs a pound more than he did against Donald. Byrd is lighter than ever since the Golota fight, but it is a matter of couple of pounds

    well, a good work-rate is what he'll need to beat byrd.

    and point well taken regarding mccline and juan diaz.

    that's bullshit. If you train enough you should look better physically.

    sure it may be harder for some but anybody can improve their conditioning.

    This is just Double once again parading his ignorance. This is how Povetkin looks, he never looks more "ripped" or toned than this.

    And lb4lb thinking he got KO'd by Briggs :lol:

    Absolutely not! Any idiot knows Povetkin will maul the birdman badly. Why should he be bothered to do any training? Bird is through, simply a live body to feed the young Russian lion.

    Keep in mind that life is short and Povey, like most young guys is only young once. He wants to chase fine Russian women with fake nails and furs, drink Vodka chilled in the freezer and eat Peroshkia and why should he be denied these things that make life, when you are young, so grand?

    Training is for pussies. The great ones like fat Toney are like Nike, they just do it. Peter didn't train for Vlad and he still knocked him down twice!

    This is your problem Double L you expect too much from people, you must be hell to live with on that account. I suppose you are one of those guys that also expects your wife to take a bath, your kids to do your homework and other such unreasonable things. Grow up. I say let Povy sit on his ass and Ko the birdman when he is ready.

    Nah, I just don't remember the guys name who just recently lost to Briggs, I didn't know if it was the same guy or not.
