| Nikolai Valuev: I Doubt Haye vs Povetkin Happens
|
|
By Ruslan Chikov The former world heavyweight champion of the the WBA, Nikolai Valuev (50-2, 34 KOs), does not believe that a fight will happen between Alexander Povetkin (21-0, 15 KOs) and current WBA champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KOs). If Haye is unable to get mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev approved to fight in England, then Povetkin, who is ranked at #2 by the WBA, will become the next boxer in line to face Haye on May 21. Chagaev's link to Hepatitis B will likley prevent him from being able to face Haye in England. Valuev doesn't see Haye-Povetkin happening because the advantage will be too far in Haye's favor. "This battle could take place, however, it is likely going to be staged in England, and you have to understand that everything will be stacked against Alex if that happens. Therefore, I have serious doubts about whether the fight between Haye and Povetkin will actually take place," Valuev said.

[QUOTE=Pirao]Agreed. Povetkin would be foolish to turn a shot at Haye's belt down, if it's true that Haye offered it.
I doubt the fight happens unless the WBA forces Haye to fight Povetkin, and I doubt the WBA will do that.[/QUOTE]
Yep, good point.
He would be crazy to duck that fight.

WTF ? :D
Are you lost ?
1.) Cotto had his career fuked by a cheating glove-loader
2.) Cotto was a beast, it is a joke that you compare him to Clottey
3.) Clottey is a bum, he left his man... |

[QUOTE=paulf]Povetkins one step away from completely missing out on his career, Valuev is wrong. If the fight doesn't happen it will be because of Haye.
Both Povetkin and Atlas have a chance to redeem themselves here. Lets see if they can pull it off.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Povetkin would be fooli... |
