    Archie Moore doesn't take pride in other fighter's achievements.

    His latest fight was? Although after the Povetkin fight, I'd be perfectly fine if no channel televised another fight of him ever again.

    Because he's a boring, stiff ass, cheating ass scrub.

    He hasn't had any American opponents lately and he has been on HBO something like 20 times in his career. There are only 2 or 3 other fighters with more appearances than him. They clearly were lobbying for a Jennings fight a few weeks ago during the broadcast. With GGG being an HBO fighter and promoted by K2 I think we will be seeing some deals where in order to show GGG you will have to buy a Klitschko fight down the line also.

    Fat Dan even said HBO is considering the Leapai fight.

    You would think he would help ratings. Since most people fall asleep during the fight. Thus leaving the TV on and boosting ratings even for other shows if you sleep long enough.

    I like Wlad, but he is an absolute bore. His fight with Povetkin was pathetic. And I'm not putting all the blame on him. But they're unwatchable. The grabbing and clinching nonstop is just pathetic. There was a break 3 seconds into the Povetkin fight! He's very talented, and I'm not one of those who getting a kick out of bashing him. I appreciate his skills. But I find him extremely difficult to watch.

    Because the OP doesn't know that the WBC is needed to claim to be Undisputed

    The last Undisputed Heavyweight champion is Lennox Lewis

    If Wladimir get by the next WBC champion, be it Undefeated KO puncher Wilder or else then we can call him Undisputed

    only reason wlad isn't technically undisputed already is because his big bro had been hogging the belt.

    I wonder, how were the ratings for Povetkin-Wlad, and does HBO have any confidence left in showing another Wlad fight after yet again another boring performance?

    Or it could be the other way around, hence the "disputed status"
