    But really.. does Povetkin have any shame with regards to how he manages his career? He has a good amateur background and was looking alright in the late 2000's but why the decline and **** fights? Years ago some folk were even saying the Klits were scared of him?

    Too much money early on in his career. That's what spoils many boxers. They stop working hard and lose all discipline.

    I wouldn't say he lost his discipline but he certainly lost his desire to fight the best and climb the ladder.

    If he had any discipline he would have shown up in shape for Huck instead of going in with almost no sparring.

    Potvetkin climbed the ladder far too quickly. He was fighting in an eliminator in like his 15th fight.

    Now, he has won all his fights, and been mostly dominant in doing so. However, now he's holding a paper belt, so he's gotta continue fighting Belvel guys or vacate.

    I'd really like to see him get Adamek or Haye prior to his first loss in March vs Wladimir. But....he couldnt sell it well enough to make Haye's 10 million dollar demands, and now Adamek is looking to cash out vs Wladimir himself.:-(

    When I saw "tribute" in the tittle I was expecting a video. Possibily some words of phraise.

    Povetkin like many Euro fighters are what we in the USA call "****."
    He's a chubby Russian Bum with a flawed Euro style and fixed judges and refs to give him some wins. Not to mention the cherry picking of old shot fighters to pad a record with.
    He has no hunger,no desire to improve. **** this guy,cant wait until he gets KO'd.

    I think Chambers exposed Povetkin for what he is years ago. A human punching bag. Povetkin never was any good.

    I find it funny that he has no shame what so ever that he's holding a meaningless title, and seems content on facing folks like Rahman for the rest of the career.

    What's the difference between his WBA belt and Wlad's?

    I don't have that much repsect for Povetkin because he turned his back on Teddy Atlas after he got him to the World Championship and then he lied about the training agreement they had.

    No doubt this chap would have been talked about amongst the ATG's if he had of been born in one of the many weak era's.

    Povetfacts:

    -Alexander Povetkin has a 18 inch dick..when flacid. Rumor has it his erect dick is as boundless as time and space.

    -Alexander Povetkin scored all 10s in his only appearance on Dancing with the Stars. And he didn't even dance.

    -Alexander Povetkin pistol whipped Teddy Atlas after ****ing his sister, however she declinded to comment on the rumors of his erect cosmic manhood.

    Never understood the hype around this guy. Just a chunky HW who fights using a conventional style. He looks like a typical school bully, IMO.

    Its hard for the HW division to have styles that are specific for each fighter.

    The exceptions are Wlad and Chambers.

    I think you need to brush up on your Povetfacts.
