Povetkin may fight on July 21

I'm thinking of Manuel Charr or Travis Walker...

 

You know the ironic thing is that Povetin wouldn't be without a chance against Vitali. Povetkin has much better hand-speed than old Vitali and it would be an interesting fight for at least a couple rounds. Yes Povetkin would eat dozens of straight rights from Vitali but he would also land some.

For some reason Povetkin's managers are shielding him from any type of risk and they only try opponents that they consider 'very safe bets' -- and that almost backfired against Huck.

 

How? He's had one of the best years in all of boxing. Scalping Chagaev, Huck and Boswell is no mean feet.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing a Huck rematch, that was an exciting fight

 

He was not ****ed up before Atlas, he had win over Eddue Chambers and was doing great with trainer he had. His management ****ed up by firing trainer, hiring Atlas.

 

Povetkin never faced a puncher and Atlas was right, Povetkin should work on his defence.

Atlas was not his trainer when Povetkin pulls out against Wladimir in 2008!!!!

Povetkin was a good amateur boxer but to be a good professional is another story. Povetkin knows he never could beat Wlad.

 

I don''t know about him faking injury, but look at his career before Atlas, and after. He canceled scheduled title fight with Atlas, Teddy did not let management know, they found out at last minute. He had unsanctioned bout with Bruce Seldon, arranged by Atlas, while Seldon was on medical suspension.

He beat Eddie Chambers, under previous trainer that is indisputable. Can he still do it now?

 

How about Povetkin - Mitchell?

If Povetkin could decisively beat the rising American, it would raise his stock considerably. (and let's face it, he doesn't have much time left for doing so.)

Mitchell would be taking a chance, but he'd HAVE a chance, and beating Povetkin would instantly put him in the top-ten. If he lost, people would just say he wasn't quite ready. It would hardly hurt his career at all.

 

^^^^ I like this match up. :good

 

:good

In 2008!

 

Haye got all kinds of stick for ducking klitschko but Povetkin gets a pass?
