    I'm surprised Rahman gets another totally undeserved titleshot... probably still based on one lucky punch he landed more than 10 years ago, since he lost ALL his major fight after that (well, technically he had a draw and NC also, but you see my point).

    And the pity is that I would still root for him against Povetkin... it looks like Povetkin is "not ready" not only to fight Wlad, but also to defend his title against any decent opponent as well.

    Povetkin dominated Chagaev and Boswell in title fights all within 6 months. :roll: I don't know what more you want. Apparently gutting it out and winning a real war against Huck in one of the best ever title fights still isn't enough for the ****wits.

    Hep B Shot Old Chagaev was SUPER-SHOT. :verysad

    Bummy Boswell is shite. :oops:

    Marco Huck is a Bloated-Cruiser And got BLATANTLY ROBBED by corrupt saunderland judges - he hurt Potty Povetkin at least 10 times And nearly had him out of there on Stagger-Street in Rounds 4, 7 And 12.

    Povetkin won at best 4 or 5 Rounds outta 12 VS Captain Huck, when score unbiasedly :yep

    Chagaev despite coming into his last fight in disgraceful shape (he was fat basically) still looked the part and totally dominated Kertson Manswell and was unlucky not to get the KO. He isn't shot.

    Harsh on Boswell. He was a decent opponent who deserved a shot at glory.

    Corrupt Sauerland judges? Huck is a Sauerland fighter. Huck vs Povetkin was a great fight and a close one at that, deserves a rematch I agree.

    yeah BUT Potty Povetin is Saunderlands star-boy And they want to protect his undefeated record And fake alphabet title at all costs - to teh extent that he will NEVER ever fight a Klitschko, cos he is guaranteed to lose. :deal

    OK Boswell is a mediocre but tough journeyman - is that fairer???

    Proper-Shot Chagaev had nowt left after WALDO brutally ruined him, that obvious from film footage. :ko

    Not true. Even though fat and out of shape going by the actually footage of his last fight Chagaev still has his timing and hand speed, not shot. There is a good reason why no up coming prospect has tried to scalp Chagaev yet, he's still very dangerous to anybody not named Klitschko. He fights again next month and it will be interesting to see who it's against and what shape he comes in.

    Chagaev did fight well against Manswell.

    Too bad Ruslan won't get into his ideal fighting weight. At 215 or 220, he might still be a top 5 HW.
