Mora has had 2 fights in 3 years since his 46 seconds loss to Sultan Ibragimov , probably not the opponent Povetkin should be facing to get ready for a Klitschko . Mora might last around 3 rounds , he wont see the halftime if Povetkin wants to take him out early .
Maybe his buddy James Toney can hook him up with a UFC contract after this loss .

So Povetkin says Teddy Atlas chose Javier Mora as an opponent. It figures.
It does Povetkin absolutely no good to fight this tomato can right now. Since Teddy chose Mora while ducking Guinn and Boswell, then he obviously doesn't have much faith in Povetkin.Comment

That is not the kind of guy who is going to prepare you for Wlad, who is by far the best technician in the division. They could at least fight someone with a good jab and/or defensive skills, such as Tony Thompson.Comment

This fight does Povetkin no good at all. The only thing I can see if Atlas did choose Mora is that he feels Povetkin is as good as he's going to get and Teddy feels it would be better for Povetkin to have more confidence going into the Wladimir fight by beating someone like Mora easily than to fight another guy to test him and not gain any confidence if he had to struggle to a victory like he may against Dimitrenko or like Clegg suggested tony thompson.Comment

You are in no position to criticize other fighters choice of opponents after Vitali's disgraceful choice of Sosnowski.Comment
