Teddy Atlas "Povetkin is HW champion of the world" - agree or disagree?

[joe strong]

the regular belt just means he's the # 1 contender & now his mandatory is rahman. that fight will happen & holyfield may have been ringside but he is signed to fight botha again oct 22.if he wins again then evander may get a voluntary shot.

After his vulnerability showed when he was stunned by Chagaev in todays fight, a lot of boxers will want a shot at Povetkin.

He'll be like a promiscious woman in a small town: everybody will want a crack at him because they think he's easy.

Rahman, Holyfield...

And I think Bernard Hopkins and Antonio Tarver will want to improve their legacy with a HW belt.

David Haye was probably licking his chops when he saw how easy Povetkin was to hit. Watch for him to come out of his so-called "retirement" and try and secure a shot at Povetkin.

I voted Yes.

Anyone who has the wba belt while there is also a super champion isn't really a legit champion in my eyes.

[Andi Peters]

Anybody with half a brain knows Wladimir Klitschko is the WBA champion.

[BattlingNelson]

Not a world champion. Just a WBA regular champion. A worthless title in a world full of devalued champions. Worthless to everybody but the WBA.

[Grinderman]

Povetkin barely beat a rusty Chagaev. Liakhovich would have destroyed him if they had been fighting instead last night. Povetkin is a pretender.

[TheGreatA]

He is a "regular" champion, which is about as legitimate a title claim as Ray Austin recent WBC USNBC title.

The WBA has disgraced itself with their treatment of the WBA heavyweight title in recent years.

[The Hammer]

Emmanuel Steward said the WBA is a disgrace for having more than one champion.

He says the casual fans are already confused and turned off by all the different sanctioning organizations.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Having 4 (5 imo - the IBO does things a lot better than most, so why exclude it?) belts is stupid, then when each of those belts gets split you could easily end up with 6 or 7 "champions" per division. Absolute madness.
