Those guys have accomplished nothing in the HW division. When they win a title and or make a name for themselves, than and only than will I give props.
If Povetkin wins, Atlas will take credit. If he doesn't, he'll blame current trainers, say he did not have enough time. There are actually people who think Atlas had alot to do with Tyson as a trainer. It's crazy.
Oh...so that's the real reason ....You can't stand the fact that Pov actually stands an equal if not better chance than Haye...
Name me the last time two Gold medal winners meet for a HW champ match? Hell you im going to watch this. I hope Povetkin makes it a fight, he has a good chin and a highworkrate, but im not so sure of his ability to get in on Wlad. Since his the extent of his iron chin is unknown. I hope (not what I logically think) that Povetkin can pull a rocky and take a serious beating while walking forwards and tire out Wlad so he can get to him in the late rounds.
Exactly, sadly this fight won't get the recognition it deserves unlike a fight with Haye even though this is more dangerous for Wladimir in my opinion. Not only is Povetkin a Gold medalist but one of the greatest amateurs ever. Can't wait for this.
:dead Under amateur rules I would easily pick Povetkin. Heck, I would pick him over anybody in the last 50 years under amateur rules - he was dominating. I do not think it will be easy for Wlad. Atlas may make it easier.
