    Exactly. After he beat Chambers, he stopped fighting serious opposition. His last 6 opponents have all been bums. Teddy Atlas convinced him to refuse Wlad's title shot offer, telling him he's not ready yet. But the guy is 32 years old! Instead, Atlas should have been motivating Povetkin, and getting him ready to fight Wlad. It's a shame.

    Atlas is senile and needs to stop training fighters. He's ruining this boxer.

    unfortunately Atlas already has ruined Povetkin. He's completely finished...

    wasted talent, Povetkin could've been something...

    Well he's split from that wack job Atlas so maybe there's some hope.

    Atlas ****ed his mind up, which was probably what Teddy was out to do all along. Besides being an overrated trainer, Teddy seems xenophobic as ****. I can't believe Povetkin thought he'd have his best interests in mind.

    Povetkin is probably not ready yet. He needs a few years more to peak under Teddy Atlas.

    Povetkin v.s Chageav or Povetkin v.s Solis :good Those are actually interesting matchups that I would definitely watch. Povetkin NEEDS to fight those type of fights or just go back to the ams and try to win gold again in 2012. He's not getting ANYWHERE fighting Firtha caliber opponents.

    Fight top 10 guys and at least make some dough and a name for yourself or try to win gold again. Simple as that
