Odlanier Solis and Alexander Povetkin need to start fighting better opposition

[The Hammer]

Alexander Povetkin has fought only two low-level journeymen during the past year, Mora and Nolan. Dominick Guinn has been calling him out, and now feather-fisted Malik Scott wants to be his October 30 opponent. But he'll probably go for another low-level journeyman instead of these more respectable HWs.

Odlanier Solis has fought a steady stream of shot fighters and journeymen. It's high time he fought a live opponent. I understand Tony Thompson is looking for a fight, but I read a rumor that Solis will be facing journeyman Michael Sprott.

These guys had brilliant amateur records. They've been pros for a few years now and are not getting any younger.

I see Guillermo Rigondeaux is fighting for a world title in his seventh pro fight. Kostya Tszyu won a world title in his 14th fight.

There's no good reason for Solis and Povetkin to continue fighting bums and shot fighters.

Solis and Povetkin need to start fighting period.
Both just like fighting the fridge more then anything else.

Seems like a lot of heavyweight contenders are just killing time until a Klitschko shows some weakness.

They are cowards who are waiting for the Klitschkos to age more. I know its ****ed up to call a professional boxer a coward, but that is exactly what certain fighters are.

Well, Povetkin doesn`t think for himself... He has a nasty manager Hrynov and he has a crazy Teddy Atlas, both of them seem to be unable to contact each other and decide what are they going to do with Povetkins` career ...

As for Solis... who knows... that`s a shame that today you can mix a professional HW boxer with a sofa... They guy doesn`t dedicate himself to the sport and doesn`t fight top guys...

I think the whole HW division waits for Klitschkos to retire... And only the bravest dare to step into the ring for a payday (except few good opponents who really believe in themselves).

Sad...

Seeing them fight each other would be really cool. It would be the first time in a while that someone would be actually worthy of a shot at the Klitchkos.

The new tactic in boxing is last as long as you can either being the best by ducking threats or stay a threat the longest to atlease cause doubt that you could win its sad really.

[Gorilla Dogs]

the best need to fight the best. im sick of these fighters who just fight guys they can beat.

[AddiX]

I don't really care about Solis.

But Povetkin needs to fight Adamek, that fight would be a big fight and could be FOTY.

Plus Povetkin isn't young, I don't know what the hell his camp is waiting for, he is what he is.
