    Wrong, he constantly tried to make a fight with Haye which Haye wanted no part of. You really need to get it into your thick head that other than Wlad Haye never fought and deliberately avoided every genuine prime contender. The only reason Wlad didn't get the WBA belt outright for beating Haye was due to Haye refusing to face either of Povetkin or Chagaev for a mandatory defence.

    :lol: Why the **** would Atlas and Povetkin avoid Haye for a shot at the WBA regular title, talk about delusions of grandeur.:rofl

    Haye would **** up Povetkin if they fought. He's far better......coming from a Haye hater who's trashed him numerous times on here, check my post history for proof. Povetkin is ****ing awful, he's beaten a shot to **** Hep having Chagaev and a very green Eddie Chambers both at home in very close unimpressive fights. Chambers would probably beat him in a rematch, he's gotten much better since their first close fight. I don't even consider Povetkin top 5 at heavy.

    Haye actually looked decent at times vs Wlad and made it difficult for Wlad...... Povetkin would get KO'd and lose every second.

    Haye was a ducking champ, ducking the K2, but he was a LEGIT WBA titlist beating Valuev, Ruiz, and Barrett.

    Potvetkin holds a manufactured belt which is worth less than the metal and leather used to fabricate it.

    If Sasha doesn't face a K2, a TOP contender or a fringe upncomer soon, I'll completely dismiss him a a legitimate contender altogether. This Huck business is garbage. He should have chosen Rahman, Arreola, Helenius, or one of the 4-5 upncomers that are hungry for a stepup fight like Wach, Welliver, Rodriguez, Boystov, Mitchell, etc.

    Hell, Chambers rematch would have been a much better choice IMO, but with Eddie looking to school and stop Liakovich in February, it seems he vying for that rematch himself.:deal

    Not much of a contest here. Povetkin has been involved in good fights so far vrs. Chagaev and Boswell, and if the bout vrs. Huck comes off that would be another thriller.

    That said, if Povetkin fights Rahman, that's really no better then Haye fighting Fraudley imho.

    Meh not really. Chagaev was the rightful (legit) WBA champ and Wlad took it off him. Plus Haye's win over Valuev was not impressive.

    I rate Haye pretty high but the fact is he never beat a heavyweight on the level of Povetkin or Chagaev.

    Haye's reign was slicker and handsomer.

    Because Povetkin is a ***** Ass *****. He avoided Haye cos he knew he'd get ****ed up. Haye is too slick, too black, and too G for Povetkin to even think about fighting. Povetkin can't say Haye's name without literally shitting his pants. Yet Haye desperately chased Wlad for a fight and even after losing is still desperately chasing Vitali. Haye is straight up gangsta and fears no man.

    Povetkin is a nobody. He would do much worse against a Klit than Haye because he is inherently less G. You've proven time and time again that you don't know **** about boxing. This is just another prime example. Be ashamed. Be very ashamed.

    Povetkin smashed Wawrzyk to pieces early while Haye ducked the same big pole. Quite telling really and once again reinforces the original said argument.
