    If this is from the date it claims, he looks much slimmer than the 284 he was last time out. He obviously has a ways to go, but I would guess he's 255-265 here. From the time this was shot he would still have almost 3 months till fight night.

    i want to kill myself.....povetkin is such a fraud and the promoters are jokes for having a straight face and promoting this as anything other than a fight that would have been on tuesday night fights as a head liner in the 90s

    God i miss Tuesday night fights.

    Does kind of remind you of when Tommy Morrison fought Pinklon Thomas.

    Povetkin is trash. If Rahman is in shape, 235-245 or so, he may knock this fraud out.

    this fight is all wrong, how Rahman is #1 mandatory for Povietkin's paperbelt is mindboggling

    It is. And how Povetkin even has a belt is also mind boggling. :-(

    And it offers ranked WBA contender the opportunity to get a mandate with WLad by beating Potvetkin.

    However, if someone like Haye or even Helenius was to be made mandatory, look for Potvetkin to cash in on his flase title with a Vitali or Wlad fight. :deal
