Not only because he'd be stripped if he doesn't but because Povetkin deserves it. He beat Larry Donald, Chris Byrd, and Eddie Chambers in consecutive fights. He just came off a victory over Jason Estrada, a decent American heavyweight. He's undefeated, an olympic gold medalist like Klitschko, and 29 years old and in his prime.
Instead of talking first and fighting second like Haye has he's stepped into the ring and earned the right.
At the end of the day I think Povetkin is too short for Wlad and will lose a decision but he stands a much better chance than Valuev or Arreola and probably Haye.
