Why bother? Rahman's shot.

Wonder who they'll line Povetkin up against next.

Povetkin is a joke and a disgrace to the heavyweight division. The number of middle aged fighters his fought is incredible and the bums on his resume is just sickening.

Glad that Povetkin dumped Atlas and his ridiculous demands. Povetkin's entire boxing career had to revolve around Atlas' FNF commentary job. Ridiculous! And Atlas had the gall to blame Povetkin.

Freedom.

Blame the WBA for making Rahman the mandatory.

Excell Holmes

Povetkin looks to be in better shape than usual, though. I wonder how Rahman looks.

Another bumfight for Povetkin. Big deal. Unless he is fighting one of the K brothers, who cares?

Sparring with Sergei Kharitonov, pretty cool.
