Whether someone like Klitschko wins, loses, draws, or gets knocked out in five seconds, he is still a big name.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Klitschko was the reigning champion for a decade and regarded by many as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I'm never going to face another opponent with that legacy.
I respect the IBF obligation to fight Povetkin, but I would like the exception to fight David Haye. That is the only title the Klitschkos don't have. We have them all except the WBA, which is why Haye is such an interesting cookie for me to eat.
I would love to see Wladimir Klitschko fight Antonio Tarver for many reasons. One is Tarver talks a lot; he would build up a big fight. And Tarver is coming off of a great victory. So I think he would be a good opponent.
After that, Kasparov stepped back from chess which is, and I want this to be clear, not good for chess in general at all. As a whole, the current situation in the chess world leaves a lot to be desired.
Pretty much whoever wins the tournament at the end of the week is the guy that putted probably the best.
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
If, in our first match for the world champion's title, I had managed to make the score 6-0, there would have been no Kasparov as a good chess player at all.
Look at Becker and Djokovic. If you look at Novak's record since Boris has been there, it's been phenomenal.
I always train and prepare with highest concentration and focus on my next opponent. To me, it does not matter what his name is.
Good will always prevail over evil. I see that in me versus Klitschko.
