    Expected that anyone considering Povetkin vs Charr was for the WBC International title. This would be a very good fight and I hope it happens.

    It's the WBA who has Jones under suspension right????

    I say King feeds his old man to Potvetkin to make up for the Ledbedev debacle, making Ryabinsky happy......and King could call it a semi final eliminator.

    Stiverne starches Wilder in the 1st rd in September than fights Potvetkin/Jones winner in November and cashes out vs Wlad in April.:think

    unless povetkin gets a really deep tan. then you'd have no idea who to favor.

    Unless ordered to fight Wlad, Stiverne has a number of high pay options - Chissora and Haye in the UK, Glazkov and Povetkin in Russia, Jennings and Tony Thompson in the US. The first four should bring some serious bucks to the table, especially if the fights are in the UK/Russia.

    While this would be a good fight I think stiverne's mandatory is going to be enforced so it will be wilder

    I think this is a coin toss. Both are tough. Stiverne may be a bit more explosive. Povetkin more fundamentally sound. Good fight, either way.
