    He won the regular belt. Thats complete BS.
    Like four belts was not enough, there needed to be 5 so that Povetkin could find one and claim to be the world champion. :roll:

    WBA have regular belts for most divisions...not Povetkin's fault. He's still a legit world champ.

    Still an Olympic heavyweight (well rather super-heavy) gold medalist who was a pro heavyweight world champion though. He also won the World Amateur Championships too, as did WBA champ Chagaev (twice). Winning the World Amateur Championships is just as big an achievement. And Povetkin would've won the WBA and WBO titles too had Wlad not been allowed to octopus him to death and rag-doll him to the canvas numerous times. :D

    No he's not, not when there is a higher belt.

    If he had beaten Wlad, then he would be considered a world champion.
